Product Description

Emile Henry Flame-Top ceramic cookware is light and versatile, an innovative breakthrough in ceramics technology. Our new line of Burgundy Clay Flame-Top ceramics products work directly on a gas flame or an electric or halogen hob without a diffuser, without any fear of cracking or breaking. Much lighter, (30% lighter), than many types of comparable metal cookware products, Flame-Top is microwave and dishwasher-safe, cleans up very easily, is extremely strong and durable, goes under the broiler, and can go directly from a freezer or a refrigerator to a hot oven to the table, where it will retain the cooking heat for a very long time. Unlike most metal cookware products, Flame-Top cookware can sit on a very hot open flame for an extended period of time without any ingredients in the cook pot, and they will not crack, discolor or break. Perfect for braising, browning and slow cooking due to the incredibly gentle heat distribution properties of Burgundy Clay, Flame-Top products cook evenly and thoroughly when used on top of the stove, in the oven or even in the microwave. Enhancing this gentle cooking action are raised dots on the underneath side of each lid that evenly distribute evaporated juices directly back into the cooking food. This self-basting technique produces a more thoroughly cooked, tender and moist dish than with traditional lids, which force liquids to run down the sides of the pot, and which contribute to even cooking. Emile Henry Flame-Top ceramic cookware is light and versatile, and better brings out the flavors of all cooked foods.

4.0 out of 5 starsMoroccan Tagine---early slow-cooker with a story
By Rene J. Depontbriand on January 20, 2008
Verified Purchase
Tagine refers to both the type of cooking as well as the cookware itself in this case. You would have chicken and pine nut tagine, lamb and plum tagine, etc. The tagine cooker is a traditional African item, designed to tenderize the toughest cuts of meat while at the same time imbueing meats, vegetables, and fruit with added herbs and spices. You can put almost any type of food in it that would go into more-recognizable stews, soups, and roasts. Recipes can be found in books and are plentiful online.

The magic of the tagine cooker is the tall cover and the low heat required. The food slowly simmers, and the rising steam condenses on the high sloping slides, marinating, flavoring, and tenderizing the contents for perhaps 90 to 120 minuts, depending on the meat and heat source available. The lid has a distinct handle that dissipates heat, so that the lid can be removed without burning yourself.

The Emile Henry product is of the highest quality. The material is a high-heat ceramic; ours has a terrific matte black finish. It can handle a medium to large size chicken, or several pork chops, or perhaps a 2.5 lb roast, for example, with whatever vegetables available. In this case, the 2.6 quart size can make a nice dinner for 4-6 people, depending on side dishes (couscous, rice, risotto), although the makings really add up to a one-pot meal. Maybe some unusual bread, a little wine, or lemoned water or tea.

You can spice up the recipes as much as your tastes call for, and you'll have an excuse to shop for (or order online) some exotic flavorings, such as preserved lemons (Meyers), saffron, the newly-accessible sea salts, various paprikas, and other old-world cover-ups.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsBought this one for my daughter!
By M. Walker on December 11, 2011

Actually, I have the 3.7 quart Emile Henry tagine and have used it for 2 years! Love it! Originally bought it for Morrocan recipes, but it's so versatile for stews, curries, and anything else I'd normally cook in the oven or slow cooker. My daughter has been wanting one since sampling the recipes out of mine, so I bought her the smaller size since it's just her and her boyfriend.
I love the fact you can braise in it directly on the burner. I usually braise on a medium high heat, then turn it down to low for a nice slow cook. Meat just falls apart, and the lid infuses the whole dish with flavor. I just love Emile Henry products!

5.0 out of 5 starsExotic Green Cookware, and Functional Art
By Eco Mama's Guide To Living Green on December 4, 2009
The word tagine refers both to the conical cooking vessel and the contents inside. The North African dish is not bound to a specific pot, you can still make a tagine in a braiser for instance, but it looks so much cooler in a tagine and it is supposed to work better in the proper pot. The idea is that the vapors, essence and juices of the food swirl around the cone and infuse the food with intense flavor. Emile Henry has fine tuned this old world cookware with modern technology.

I learned to make tagine in Morrocco from locals. We went around the medina gathering ingredients: tomatoes, potatoes, onion, saffron, paprika and cumin. We put this in a covered pot with a little olive oil, cooked it for an hour or so and garnished with a lot of cilantro. It makes a great camping dish--we ate this very meal under a giant moon the Sahara desert. I've made this same meal in the tagine pot with great success and every time I look at it, I think adventure. Tagines are very flexible and hard to mess up, so you can use your own creativity and change up the recipe.

Emile Henry's cookware is green--no toxic chemicals to leach into your food. It is made to go from the freezer to any heat source without cracking and clean up is easy. As as serving dish, it will keep the food hot for a long time on the table. It is very aesthetically pleasing, like functional art.

This Tagine would make a killer gift for the cook who has everything or the foodie with a flair for the exotic. It's eco friendly and makes a sexy, dramatic presentation on the table.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Tagine!
By Susan E. on January 14, 2015
Verified Purchase
Wonderful purchase! I'm amazed at how much I'm using it. And it's attractive too....no need to store... I enjoy having it on display where it's also conveniently accessible. I've noticed a difference in my cooking results too, despite other reviews suggesting a Dutch oven would do as well and cost less. Flavors seem to blend more and foods retain their moisture. I'd highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 starsA great tagine
By Maya and Stormy on December 4, 2013

This is a beautiful item and it works extremely well. My family is probably getting tired of Moroccan food because I love to use this pan so often. It does work for other items as well. Heats evenly and retains the flavors.
