Conjure up the magic of Morocco by capturing its fantastic flavors in a tagine. The name is not only for the traditional stew of this North African country, but also the clay pot it's cooked in. The slow-melding of flavors and spices are enhanced by the gentle, even dispersion of heat in a tagine. Meats become meltingly tender, sauces reduce and coat to perfection, and vegetables retain their shape and nutrients.

Some traditional combinations are chicken with preserved lemons and olives, sweet and savory meat with dried fruit, and mixed spiced vegetables. (Visit our cookbook section and Paula Wolfert's definitive work Couscous and Other Good Foods from Morocco.)

From stovetop or oven to table, the tagine surely adds the wow factor to any Moroccan meal. This special piece is completely hand made and painted, truly one of a kind. Serves 6 people.

Ras el Hanout, a traditional spice mixture from Morocco, translates to “top of the shop.” It may contain upwards of 20 different spices, but it usually includes cinnamon, cumin, ginger, cardamom, black pepper, turmeric, coriander, nutmeg, chili, and wild herbs.

Features & Benefits

• Terra cotta clay high fired at 2,000°F for strength, durability and chip resistance.
• All our pieces are completely handmade, natural earthenware. Minor imperfections add authenticity and charm, and are part of the piece.
• Easy to clean, hand-applied glaze.
• Lead and cadmium free.

Use & Care

• Stovetop, oven and microwave safe. For gas cooktops, may use diffuser or lowest heat setting. For electric cooktops, please use only with a diffuser.
• Clear ceramic glaze provides ease of cleaning. For difficult areas to clean, first soak for a few minutes in water, then scrub with a soft abrasive pad. Do not use metallic scouring pads.
• Dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand washing to give the best care to your earthenware. See our section Clay Cooking 101 for detailed explanations and effects of soaps and detergents on earthenware.
• Earthenware does not like extreme temperature changes. For example, do not take a pot cold from the refrigerator and place it directly on a stovetop or in a hot oven; it may crack.
• Before first use, please season. A complete explanation of this procedure is explained in detail in Clay Cooking 101.

Do you need a heat diffuser? A heat diffuser is required for electric cooktops and recommended for gas cooktops to reduce the risk of thermal shock and cracking the pot. We carry a variety if you need one.
