Clay Tagine (1.5qts) Product Description:

Baking and steaming food in tagines has been practiced in North Africa for centuries. Cooking in a clay tagine is delicious, healthy and easy, resulting in tender succulent natural and vitamin rich dishes.

Tagine recipes are usually stews cooked slowly at low temperatures, resulting in tender meat with aromatic vegetables and sauces. North African tagine recipes often combine lamb or chicken with a medley of vegetables or seasonings and are simple to make. Other meats, fish and vegetable recipes are just as easy and tasty to cook in tagines.

Care & Use Instructions

• Before using your tagine for the first time, hand wash in warm soapy water then soak it in water for 20 minutes.
• When using the tagine on a hob, always use a heat diffuser. When using the soaked tagine in an oven do not preheat. The tagine and oven should heat up together.
• Always use oven gloves to ensure the safe handling of the tagine when hot.
• Special care should be taken when removing the lid. Lift slowly, pointing the lid away from you and allow the steam escape safely. DO NOT place hot items directly onto hot work surfaces or tabletops as it may damage the surface. Allow to cool before washing. DO NOT pour cold water into hot tagine.
• IMPORTANT: Do not put in a dishwasher.
