Reviews of Cooking Medium Tagine by Treasure Of Morocco

Customer Ratings:

I bought two of these for Christmas gifts. One was for a gourmet cook in the family the other is a friend who loves entertaining and loves doing unique things. I also bought a tagine "deck" of recipes. I put that, along with all the non-perishable ingredients for one of the recipes, in the tagine and wrapped it up in clear cellophane. It was a huge hit! I did season the tagine first but it came with no instructions on how to do it, so I had to look it up. (You soak it in a bathtub overnight, let it dry, then put it in a 300 degree oven for 2 hours, then let it cool in the oven this will take a long time I put it in the oven at 9 a.m. at 10 p.m. it was still warm, which I think means that it will make a great serving vessel too. I wanted them to be able to cook with it immediately upon receipt of the gift). I had read that tagines needed an opening in the top and couldn't tell for sure if this one opened from the picture. It does not, but there is a small hole in the upper portion of one side, which I'm hoping will be enough. No one has cooked in it yet, though both recipients seemed genuinely excited about receiving it (I think it was my most well-received gift this year) and really seemed to want to jump right in and try cooking with it one of them spent about an hour looking up recipes on the internet after receiving the gift. The other says she put it on a shelf in their kitchen because it is a pretty piece of cookware she says everyone who has come in has asked about it it has been a real conversation starter and she is planning on cooking in it this week. It was packaged great in fact it took me about 30-45 minutes to get it free from its packaging. I think it would be great for entertaining. Invite 2-4 people over, cook in it and serve from it on the table it's bound to be the center of conversation. My kids wanted me to order one for ourselves so we could cook in it so if you want to introduce your children to this kind of cuisine this might be a good way to get them to eat it. To cook with it on the stove, you might consider ordering a diffuser as well they are about $14 online.

These were just what we wanted for single serving sized cooking tagines. The finish is rustic and looks authentic enough for those that are worried about that, but they do a great job cooking. The tagines were delivered in a heavily padded box (with no instructions, so you have to know how to work with them before using them) and arrvied within days of ordering. I ordered two and they were both were in great condition when they arrived. Beautiful, simple, and elegant, cooking with them is a dream. 10 years from now I should come back and let you know how they hold up. I'm sure by then the food will taste incredible simply by being associated with the tagines, since they should be well seasoned by then!

Use them more and your food will taste better and better... Also, make sure to soak and season yours and clean them the correct way and they will continue to work well for years and the food will simply taste better and better. Also, don't place these into a preheated oven. ALWAYS place them in the oven as it heats up or you risk cracking and destroying your tagines.

This tagine in really cool. It is a darker than in the photo, so it does not have a rough "terra cotta" look at all. The finish work is pretty good and the ceramic is good and thick (heat retention is great). 9.5 inch size is great for a couple folks (probably 2 to 3). It came about as wrapped as something can get, so there was about zero chance of breakage (thank you Treasures of Morocco).

Make sure to season it. There are no instructions with it, but there is enough information on line that it is not hard to figure out what to do. Really hard to beat the value of this thing; easy to afford a second one in a different size for when we have guests or one in the same size if we want to cook a second dish.

Plan on using this on a gas burner equiped with a cast iron heat diffuser.

Honest reviews on Cooking Medium Tagine by Treasure Of Morocco

Arrived in perfect condition, very well packed. These are exactly the tagines we saw in every market in Morocco. I would have loved to been able to bring them home with me but they are heavy, bulky, and fragile. I was thrilled to find Treasures of Morocco had these same tangines. Have already made several dinners and they worked out great. Be sure to follow the directions for seasoning them before you use them. I soaked mine in the bathtub.
