Tagine

A clay cooking pot from North Africa. These beautiful pots consist of a large shallow base and a tall conical lid. To use food is placed in the base. As the food cooks the steam is trapped inside of the tall lid and keeps the food moist. Traditional tagines are made of brown eartherware but there are many more modern, decorative versions. The tagine was intended to use inside of an oven rather than a cooktop. Not all tagines can be used to cook in. Some are simply used for serving. Make sure your tagine is intended for cooking before you make your purchase.How To Buy, Use, And Maintain A Tagine
