Tagine or tajine is a special type of clay dish, used in North African cuisine (Moroccan or Tunisian) whose name comes from the name of the "tajina" food, which can be cooked inside the dish. Consisting of two parts - a deep round bowl and a conical lid, provided with a handle at the top for easy handling, allowing steam circulation inside the cooking dish – the Tagine cooking dish from Emile Henry is made from Flame® ceramic designed to be used safely over flame, not just in the oven.
Specially designed for slow cooking, the Tagine dish emphasizes the best in the ingredients, amplifies food flavors, improves the subtle taste of spices, providing a juicy and delicious texture to the dishes.
Tip: For maximum results, always start cooking over low heat and make sure there is always a little liquid on the bottom of the dish. If necessary, add a glass of water and keep the lid on the cooking dish during cooking because this cooking pot works on a principle similar to steam cooking.
