Product Description

Size: 12-Inch | Color: Natural Clear Glaze

Our cookable tagines are made to go on the stovetop at low temperature for slow cooking sumptuous tagine recipes. The special refractory clay mix allows for even heat distribution throughout the tagine base. The conical lid recirculates vapor to condense and drop back down into the dish, keeping meats moist and succulent. There are literally thousands of recipes online for tagine dishes and we include a few of our favorites with each shipment, along with instructions for seasoning and care. Each tagine is hand-thrown at our studio in Nabeul, Tunisia and painted free-hand, using only foodsafe paints and glazes (we conform to FDA and California Prop 65 requirements). The tagine is about 12-inch in diameter and is intended to serve 3 to 4 people (a whole chicken can fit, for example). We do recommend using a diffuser though this is not required. The tagine can be used (at low temperature only) on gas or electric stoves and the tagine base can go in the oven to 450-degree (many recipes call for browning the dish at the end of preparation). We recommend hand washing with soap and warm water.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality product - great customer service, February 15, 2007

This review is from: Le Souk Ceramique CT-YEL-12 12-Inch Cookable Tagine, Yellow Mustard (Kitchen)

I recently purchased this at a gourmet grocery store in their culinary arts section. I contacted the maker (Souk Ceramique) and received an email right away. They told me that it does not have a hole because it is a hand-thrown clay piece. The manufactured ones need holes because their tops sit on their bases tightly and the hole is necessary for steam to vent. In a hand-thrown tagine, the steam can vent around the base. Also, to season it - soak it overnight in water. Then allow it to dry, coat the inside with olive oil, and put in a cold oven. Heat the oven to 350 degrees and allow the tagine to heat with it and then leave it for an hour and a half to two hours in there. Don't put it in cold water while it is hot. Let it cool down on its own. If it isn't used often, it should be re-seasoned every few months. I've read variations on the seasoning, but that is the best that I can find for now (some said soak it for one hour in water - other sites said 4 hours). I was impressed by the prompt and helpful reply from customer service, and I like the product. The company truly tries to keep the old world alive through its authentic tagines.

1.0 out of 5 stars Should probably bundle it with a diffuser, August 10, 2010

Rachel Jackson (Kirkland, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Le Souk Ceramique CT-BLU-12 12-Inch Cookable Tagine, Blue Cobalt (Kitchen)

This is a gorgeous product and one I was very happy to receive.

Unfortunately the base cracked the very first time I used it, even though I seasoned and used it according to the instructions.

The instructions say a diffuser is "recommended" for stovetop use. I think this should be upgraded to "required" and a diffuser sold with the tagine.

At the very least the manufacturer should mention a diffuser as a strongly recommended accessory in the description of this product here on the website. I would certainly have purchased and used one if only I had known.

This is a light weight tajine that cooks food perfectly. I use mine several times a week. Easy clean up and looks great on the kitchen counter.
