Le Creuset Tagine with Cast Iron Base and Stoneware Funnel Lid, Dishwasher and Oven Safe, For All Hob Types, 31 cm Base, 3.3 Litre, Cerise, 25138310600422

This is a very high quality and high end tagine pot. Heavy but cooks brilliant food slowly.

Great piece of cookwear... This is my first tagine so cant compare this against pot versions. I wanted something that was sturdy, and yes this certainly is. The base is Cast Iron but the hood is ceramic... which I would say is its only downfall - if you drop it! Especially given its price... which is a bit eye watering...Not easily replacable! Overall it is a great center piece item if you are having a dinner party. Size wise its OK it could be bigger, you could feed 2-3. I just about got 4 chicken pieces in and that teamed with the sauce... well started to over flow and bubble out! You could easily make a tagine in a normal pot and most moroccans these days are heading down the pressure cooker route... but if you want some thing thats easy on the eye, your in no hurry for the food , got some spare cash and masses of spare room in your kitchen drawers then this is great!

Like all tagines, this does NOT go in an oven! If that’s your plan, get a casserole. Tagines have a heated base and a conical lid that’s cooler so that as the cooking liquids evaporate they condense in the lid and run back into the base. Which is why you need less liquid in the first place and develop more intense flavours. This Le Creuset version is the perfect tagine. Its cast iron base enables meat to be browned and it won’t crack like traditional earthenware bases are inclined to do. But it still has the pottery lid that will encourage the vapour to condense back. It even has the recess in the handle on the top that was traditionally used to hold ice to further encourage the process of condensation. The tagine is a simple, delicious meal that’s uncomplicated to prepare. The Le Creuset tagine is possibly the most expensive tagine pot that you can buy - but it will probably last for generations! Every home should have one.

OK, I gather that North Africans are switching from tagines to casseroles (Dutch Ovens) but who cares? This Le Creusot tagine is a work of art, while serving as a brilliant cooking vessel. It heats fast. The conical lid does what its designed for - condenses steam so that the moisture is recycled back down to the cooking section. The tagines I've tried have all turned out superbly. Yes, it's heavy, but the base has a lip which is easy to use when moving it from the cooker to table. Yes, it's expensive, but if entertaining is part show-business, there's not much better than putting this onto the dining table and whipping the top off. The one thing to watch is that smaller unit does not give much extra room for feeding more than four people. If you're into bigger guest lists, you'll need the bigger version. For me, this was a luxury purchase which I don't regret in any way.

I am thrilled with this tagine from Le Creuset. I was initially hesitant to spend over £100 on a tagine, wondering how much I would use it. However, being a keen cook with a penchant for spicy food, I find I use this a lot, which justifies the expense. This tagine is so handy because it can go on the hob or in the oven. I can brown off meat first, or blanch onions, etc, then use it on a low heat to finish the tagine. Beautiful thing it is too - it doesn't even live in a cupboard. It's too pretty for that. It takes pride of place on my work surface. The colour is more of a 'red' red than a cerise red in my opinion. All in all, very happy with my purchase. Well worth the money as I have already used it a lot and I plan to use it all the more, once I have my new recipe book.

Worth every penny. Don't forget, a tagine should not be used in an oven. If you could then it's known as a casserole dish!!! The idea of a tagine is that it cooks very slowly on a hob thus leaving the ceramic top a lot cooler. The condensation and flavours thus permeate round to create the tenderness and flavours. I love this item and cannot praise the design highly enough. The originals were meant to have the base sunken into the camp fire leaving the top to the elements. If you want buy one to put in the oven then you are very misconceived!! Great product and worth the money.

I absolutely love this Tagine. I researched before I purchased it and was impressed by the reviews it had gotten. I have to confess that I have never used a tagine before so can’t comment on other makes. I bought the 32 cm Tagine and it’s decent enough in size to cook for for 5 people but without any left over. I am delighted with it. It isn’t the regular Le Creuset pot either. It has a different texture and feel to it. It’s easy to handle as the brim asts as a handle (use oven gloves of course). It reeks of quality. Easy to clean. And so far everything I have cooked has been delicious.my family are thrilled. Well done Le Creuset.

Really good quality and cooks a treat. A lot of money for a cooking pot but should last for years. With Le Creuset you get what you pay for.

Superbe qualité très bel objet

今まで3000円くらいのタジン鍋を使っていて、正直タジン料理のよさというものを実感できずにいました。 思い切ってこちらのタジン鍋を買って使ってみたところ・・・ やっぱり鍋が変わると違うんですね。 これこそモロッコの味！とでもいうような美味しいお料理ができました。 一緒についていたレシピの中の「牛肉とオリーブのタジン」を作ってみましたが、2時間煮込んで具材は全く煮崩れず、しかも味はしっかりしみこんでいました。 鍋本体は高級鋳物で熱伝導率が非常によく、底が深めなので、4人分たっぷり食べられる量のお料理が作れます。 そして、外見は文句なしに美しいので、おもてなしにも最適です。 これからもいろいろなタジン料理に挑戦したいです。 難点は、重いことでしょうか。 本体が3.5kgもあり、普段使いにするにはちょっと大変かもしれません。 また、ミニタジンが一緒についてくるものも売られているようなのですが、こちらの商品には付属していませんでした。

Excellent tagine. Good looking and easy to keep clean. Cooks evenly with food staying moist and delicious.
