Review: The cast iron bottom negates the need for a heat infuser (on a gas stove). The top fits snugly. Took it for a test run on a chicken dish with peppers, onions and dried fruit, and the dish came out beautifully; chicken was uber-tender and flavorful. This is energy-efficient used on stove-top. It’s heavy, though! And a bit tricky to store in my early 1950’s-vintage kitchen. It is GORGEOUS! Once I find a trivet, will be happy to use it for table service.

Review: The product description suggests that the base is “enameled. “. It isn’t. Good quality treated cast iron, but not what I was led to expect.

Review: Until coming across this pot, I had never heard of a tagine before. After doing some research, I thought it would be great to try out, and I also really like the fact that it is cast iron and ceramic, as I have been working towards getting more cast iron cookware, as it is a healthier and longer lasting option. First, I noticed that this pot was listed as enameled cast iron, and I would say that the cast iron portion does not really seem enameled to me, as it is textured, but not exactly the same way as traditional cast iron, so I do believe there is some type of coating on it, I just wouldn’t call it enameled. I was concerned that this would cause things to stick to it, and while I did have some things kind of over cook a bit in it, I was easily able to scoop it out and clean out the pot. So it performed better than I thought it would, regarding things being non stick.This pot is a pretty good size, and holds enough food for 2-4 people. It does get quite hot, and even when I turned my burner down to low, the pot was still heavily simmering, and I am not sure if that had to do with how it holds heat or if it was from my stove itself possibly running hotter than it says it is, but I think it was probably a bit of both.Overall, I think this is a nice pot, that is well constructed and beautiful, and I look forward to cooking a lot more meals in it. I would recommend it.

Review: I’ve been wanting one of these for a while and am very happy with it and the cooking results.It came well packaged for shipping and had no damage.The base is a textured enamel glazed cast iron, so it’s very solid and is at home in the oven or on the stovetop. I will use it mostly on the stovetop.The heavy cast iron base provided for very even heating.I was able to brown / braise the meat for flavor and color in the base and then add other ingredients for the long slow cooking, so no multi -pot mess.Once up to cooking temperature it took only the smallest of flames to keep it at a nice low simmer.The cermaic top or dome is well made and the glazing is good. The little vent hole is big enough to release any pressure but still maintain most of the self basting moisture. The condensation drips down the inside and returns to the bottom via the lip of the base.As a little bonus, it came with a little spatula scraper that is shaped to conform to the interior shape of the base.Pictured is when I cooked a lamb shank with preserved lemons, sliced onions, dates, prunes, golden raisins and Moroccan spices. Tender juicy and flavourful. I did a cous cous side dish with complementary flavors.This tagine will be able to cook a variety of items with similar results. It is ideal for any dish that will benifit from long slow and moist cooking.It is easily large enough to accomidate a large cut up chicken with similar side items as listed above or a sauteed mire poix mixture as a base for braised beef short ribs etc..Clean up was easy and I found that very little stuck to the interior. If you have too much sticking you are using too high of a heat.I’m very happy with it, and look forward to many more delicious meals!

Review: “Foodie” that I am, I was definitely happy to find this tagine pot in cast iron. I have ventured into international cuisine and love the few dishes I have tried from India and Morocco. This one provides a good base for cooking those spicy, flavorful stews; the iconic lid aids in the cooking process and fits into the base to lock in all of that goodness. The shape of the lid also gives you easy access in opening it, but make sure to use a potholder please!Having a cast-iron base, I can use it for decades to come; cast iron is always great for cooking evenly and for longer periods. It will also prevent transferring of differing flavor profiles from one use to the next. It’s also easy to hand wash and dry; it comes already “seasoned” and like any other cast iron pot, should not be put in the dishwasher. It’s an old-school, cultural wonder that still works great today…try your favorite recipes from grandma or those beautiful grandmas across the pond!
