Reviews of Moroccan Large Tagine Free Shipping By Treasures of Morocco

Moroccan Large Tagine Free Shipping By Treasures of Morocco
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

This glazed tagine is a wonderful addition to my kitchen. The dish is deep enough to accommodate veggies and meat, and the conical lid can be lifted from the top without any mitten. The hole on the cone allows the steam to get out but still keeps the moisture inside. What I love about this tagine is that it retains the heat long after I removed it from the stovetop.

The tagine arrived very fast and very well packed, but it did not contain any care instruction. Not a problem. A quick Google showed me that I needed to season it first. I submerged the tagine overnight in the biggest bucket I could find. The next morning, I rubbed the entire tagine (inside and out) with the olive oil before putting it in the cold oven. I turned on the oven to 300 degree for 2 hours. I let it cool down in the oven, then wash and dry. Now it's ready for cooking! I use my tagine with a heat diffuser (costs only few dollars) in a medium to low heat setting. The food is ready in two hours, from my stovetop to the dinner table -very simple and delicious. Highly recommended!

PS this tagine is considered "extra large." The company also offers "Large" size tagine for $10 less. If you are considering buying tagine, this one is a much better deal because the dish is deeper so that liquid won't seep out. (The other dish is more shallow.) Cleanup is a breeze! Make sure it's completely dried before storing away.

With a little prep work and research on the internet, we were able to make sure that our tagine was set to go. Be sure to follow some online instructions before you use it. It requires some soaking in water, covering in oil and heating (my girlfriend did most of the prep work). After three dishes made so far, it works like a charm and we've had no problems with it so far.

I cannot begin to express how disappointing this tagine has been. I ordered this as a gift for my husband. He has traveled the world and is always excited by any opportunity to try new foods. When the box arrived, I was impressed with the care they took in shipping. When my husband opened the box we were both impressed with how lovely the tagine was. It was very handmade looking and rustic (we appreciated this a lot). There were no instructions provided, however my husband is a planner by nature and obsessively researches everything. We spent time researching dishes and spices and how to season and prep our tagine carefully. The vendors own instructions on Amazon clearly state that it is for cooking ON or IN the stove. It also says that no diffuser is needed when cooking with electric or glass stovetops. Our oven has a glass top but we even went the extra mile and contacted the maker of our stove to find out the actual temperatures that line up with the number indicators on our burners. We were told that 5 is around 295 degrees. We decided on a Moroccan Chicken dish and cooked it slowly for 1.5 hours on 3 and 4. We turned down the tagine to the lowest setting for approx. 15 minutes before serving. When my husband removed the lid we saw a huge deep crack that went completely through the base. It was only after washing it that we saw the extent of the crack. It ran from the center to the rim of the base and even went around the base halfway.

We emailed the vender for a return. Their response was to ask what temp we cooked on and if the crack was leaking. We supplied the information and they responded by telling us that it is recommended to only use the tagine in the oven as it is not in direct contact with heat. I was flabbergasted! Why would you recommend this and not inform potential buyers of this information on the items page? They also stated that UPS will not pick up the package unless the original packaging was included. Of course we threw away the (plain) brown shipping box and bubble wrap along with all the other present packaging the day after Christmas. They then stated that they do not accept returns for used items (cooking once with great care is used?). They have offered to replace the base. We feel that isn't good enough. I wanted a tagine that we could cook on our stove and oven with and have flexibility. There are certainly tagines out there that can do all of that. We wanted something authentic and a fun cooking experience and instead we have ending up with a huge headache. I would certainly not recommend this tagine to anyone in good conscience!

I love this Tagine. We followed the marinating instructions and used a big tupperware storage container to soak the tagine in. We did have to open the hole on the top a little more since the glaze covered it. Every dish we cooked in the tagine has been fabulous. Since a lot of liquid is produced during cooking, I always leave out the addition of liquid if it calls for it in the recipe. I love combining my ingredients with William Sonoma's tagine spice or jars of tagine sauce. Only negative is that even though this is extra large, you can only cook for about four adults with this Tagine.

This is an incredibly versatile size. I don't know how I survived in my kitchen without it. I've used it every day since receiving it. (Of course, it's been winter. Soups and stews are a mainstay of my home.) This is a heavy pot without being weighty. The base of it is thick and distributes heat well. The lid is well-fitted. Condensation drips back in evenly. The lid doesn't spit water around my cooktop when water is boiling inside. Let's hear it for good design! The handles are small but you can easily hold onto them even with thick pot holders. 6 quarts is a very versatile size. It is large enough for almost all of my stew recipes but still small enough that I can easily store it in my kitchen cupboards. Try it. You won't be disappointed.

My wife says she loves me, and, I think it is because I let her indulge in her cravings for the best cookware around, namely, All-Clad. I hate to think about all the (so-called) "inexpensive" cookware sets I've bought in the past. Our (nearly complete) All-Clad set will last us indefinitely (and, probably, get passed down to the next generation). If you shop carefully (buying in sets, or catching the occasional sale), you can get All-Clad pieces at less-than-full-retail. One Caveat: if you happen to leave an empty pot on the stove over a full-on flame, you 'can' ruin it by plunging it immediately into cold water (yes, learned the hard way). Turn off the flame, walk away, and give it an hour or so to cool down slowly.

Honest reviews on All Clad COPPER CORE 5-Ply Bonded Dishwasher Safe Stockpot with Lid

This is the most used pot in my kitchen. I use it to cook just about everything, including soups and marinara sauces.

For a while, I had a few other brands of pots but I kept reaching for this one, so I gave away the others.

Things I like are:

*Heat distributes very evenly with no burning or hot spots. The only time I've had any burning is when I forgot and left a nearly empty pot on the burner for a few hours.

*Easy to clean. Even when I burned it to a crisp, I was able to scrape off the charred stuff and it is good as new!

*Handles are nicely shaped and convenient

*The design is simple and elegant, and a pleasure to use.

This is our fourth All Clad pot. Apart from cast iron, I wouldn't buy any other cookware at this point. Because of the wide base, this stock pot heats up *very* fast on the largest (11 inch) induction element on our cooktop--boiling water for pasta in about a minute. (If you have an induction cooktop, you do have to pay attention to which All Clad product line you are purchasing. Not all of that manufacturer's products come with magnetic stainless exteriors, but both of the high end 'stainless steel' and 'copper core' lines do.) All Clad cookware is expensive, but it is one of those product lines which confirms the maxim: 'you get what you pay for.'

I was hesitant to pay this much for a single skillet, but I decided to take a chance. I'm extremely happy with the purchase. The skillet is very thick and heats evenly. I use it mostly for cooking eggs & omelets. It's not coated with a non-stick material, but a small amount of butter or cooking spray goes a long way. The 8" skillet works well for 2-egg and small 3-egg omelets, but anything bigger would requite a larger skillet.

As far as I'm concerned, this skillet was worth the price. I don't think I could get a skillet as thick and even-heating for less money.

Many of the comments refer to issues removing cakes from the pan. If you use Baker's Joy or Pam for Baking spray you will have NO problem. Place the pan on the open dishwasher door and spray away... you will have no mess to clean up either. i have many shaped pans including this one and the secret to easy removal and clean up is the spray.

Also, many of you are using cake mixes as the box instructs. these pans work best with a denser cake such as a bundt or pound cake recipe. there are many recipes/books for modifying mixes into such cakes, or you can start from scratch. see

when you put the batter into the pan you also need to tap the pan on the counter or run a toothpick through the batter to remove the air bubbles that get trapped at the bottom of the mold, hence distorting the shapes.

I'll admit I like tiny things and when I saw this pan, I just had to think of an excuse to try it. It took a while, but when I needed something quick and easy for our school bake sale, inspiration struck! I bought a cake mix and made two panfuls of teensy-tiny cakes in about an hour. Given that it only takes about 15 minutes for the little cakes to bake, about the only "baked" treat I could have made faster is Rice Krispy treats.

WIth the first panful, I just sprayed the pan with canola oil. I ended up overfilling the pan a bit, but I was able to slice the tops off neatly with a bread knife before I turned the cakes out onto a cooling rack. The patterns weren't quite as distinct as I would have liked, but once sprinkled with powdered sugar, it was pretty easy to tell them apart. I did overfill the pan a bit, so to get nice, even cakes I sliced the tops off before turning the cakes out onto a cooling rack.

For my second panful, I used a pastry brush and then floured the pans. I was a little sloppyI didn't wash the pan after the first use (but just brushed out the crumbs instead) and I probably didn't do a good job getting into every nook and cranny. When I turned the cakes out, about 1/2 of them stuck in the pan. Rigorous shaking got all but four out, but I had to use a toothpick to pry out the last four and one of them did not survive the process. However, the ones I got out had MUCH crisper detail and were really lovely without any embellishment at all.

I'll need to experiment a bit more to find the perfect grease/flour technique to preserve the details and get the cakes to release. All in all, though, I'm pleased and I expect that this pan will make lots more teensy-tiny cakes for bake sales and little girl tea parties.

This is a fantastic pan, that with the right method makes perfect little cakes and truffles.

The Nordic Ware website has amazing tips, and if you follow the instructions, it works. Baker's joy or shortening and super fine flour gives you the detail you should have with this pan.

The reviewer with the thicker batter idea is correct, and I would never use an "ez-make-insta-batter" with this gorgeous pan, the nasty additions they put in it may gum up your pan (lecithin, fats).

Worth the extra mile!

Honest reviews on Nordic Ware Specialty Bakeware Pan

I like the idea of this bundt pan. I made 3 batches of chocolate truffles on it. The recipe that comes with the pan is awesome. HOWEVER, I have yet to figure out how to get the chocolates out easily. The first time, I used a non-stick spray (not vegetable oil). I thought that might be my problem because the company recommends vegetable oil. On the next two batches, I poured vegetable oil in the little holes and spread it around using a pastry brush. Again, I had to fight to get the chocolates out. I kid you not -my husband pounded on the pan with a big rubber mallet to get the chocolates to come out! I must be doing something wrong. I will call customer service tomorrow -but if there is a trick to this, they should have told you on the instructions on how to make the truffles! Other than that, the chocolates turned out beautifully and I will use this pan again, even if I have to call my husband to help me out with his rubber mallet!

okay. there is a secret to using this pan. cake batter doesnt work. all of my little shapes got stuck. but i used gingerbread batter and they came out beautifully (with the help of a greased pan of course). so the secret is to use a thicker batter. muffin and bread batter anyway.

What first caught my attention were the removable handles: my storage is tight; so this is a bonus. These pieces have a substantial, well-balanced feel. The very best feature is that they conduct heat so efficiently that for the very first time my stove was able to maintain a low simmer without either burning or losing the boil. I was able to make a brilliant cream sauce with stove and pot behaving brilliantly. Am very, very pleased!

I really wanted this cookware to work on my induction cooktop. One could argue they do work,but not very well. I have other induction cookware so I conducted a test with one pint of water to see how long to bring to the boil. Result: all the pans take nearly 5 minutes to come to the boil whereas my stainless steel pans take about 2.3 minutes. So there is the dilemma. I like the pans, they are well made and have a very nice 'feel' and they may work very well on conventional cooktops. But they are supposed to be suitable for induction and people buy induction hobs for the speed not just to work. Reluctantly I think I will have to send them back and look elsewhere.

I ordered this hot pot to replace the Proctor Silex K2070 1-Quart Automatic electric kettle I had bought a couple of months ago because I discovered that the kettle was not designed for liquids other than water, and I had expected to be able to reheat all sorts of beverages or soups and keep them warm. The little kettle is perfect -just as efficient as the automatic kettle, but without the limitations. I plugged it into a heavy duty grounded power strip with a illuminated on-off switch. That solves the problem with the lacking switch other reviewers noted. Obviously, it should not be left unattended, since there is no automatic shutoff.

I've been using this for a little over a week, and while it does rapidly bring water to a boil, the temperature control is useless. It boils water on even the lowest setting, which is not what I am looking for when making coffee with my Aeropress which calls for a temp between 175-185 degrees. If all you need to do is boil water cheaply and quickly, this would do the job, otherwise pass on this.

Best Deals for Proctor Silex 32oz Hot pot



Having used virtually every brand of Hot Pot manufactured in the past 20 years I never expected to encounter such a flawed product. The temp control malfunction was mentioned in numerous reviews.

Instead of temp setting dots which increase in size/diameter, from small (warm) to large (boil), there should be question marks. I cannot fathom how any manufacturer could put such a faulty design on the market. You MIGHT be able to tolerate this thing IF the only chore is boiling water, but as mentioned in one review you risk a scalding burn since it may erupt/bubble like a unpredictable volcano.

The video illustrates the unpredictable manner the temp control functions. The hot pot goes into FULL heating mode on the lowest setting. This is UNACCEPTABLE, particularly if you are attempting to warm up soup (or anything but water) since it will immediately scorch the contents. This item might be acceptable as a $1 garage sale purchase but certainly not $14. If the ONLY substance you intend to heat is water you could find it tolerable.

Honest reviews on Proctor Silex 32oz Hot pot

This robust hot pot concentrates on bringing water to a rolling boil with single-minded focus like a Zen master. Little bubbles sizzle at the wide bottom within seconds. A rolling boil surges two minutes twenty seconds later for a typical sixteen ounce load, half of the ample capacity. Never mind the absence of an on-off switch; fewer moving parts mean less cost and longer life; my unit has been used reliably many times a day for more than a year. Never mind the tight-fitting lid; stow the superfluous lid in a drawer; nothing splashes out due to the large capacity and an uncovered pot can be monitored better. While the pot concentrates on the water, you concentrate on the pot or else just listen to its progress. Never mind the short cord; the entire assembly including the cord can be lifted up and poured out safely without risk of tangling with anything else on a crowded counter. Never mind the initial indifference to temperature settings; this is not a timid servant but rather a bold agent asserting manly control. The hot pot seems to have built-in thermal overload protection which kicks in after reaching a boil if the dial is set on simmer; on the one occasion when I forgot the pot and came back after half an hour, it had not boiled dry. Instead, it recovered fully without permanent damage. I have experimented with boiling Ramen noodles in it or soup or coffee grounds or tea leaves with success but prefer to reserve it for water only to keep it clean even though it is easy to rinse out. This hot pot is better than a microwave for boiling water for more flavorful drinks because a microwave does not raise all of the water to a high uniform temperature.

This water heater is a good, quick heater but it boils even on the lowest setting...which it should NOT do. It should SIMMER on the lowest setting.

It holds a decent amount of water compared to other hot-pots I've had.

The worse thing about it is the LID. There is no easy way to remove it! The "recessed hole" provided does NOT work to remove the lid.

The only way I've found to get it off is to slide my fingernails between the lid and the body of the pot and pull up.

If I had a choice, I would have picked a different pot ! Its a big hassle to box it up and send it back...especially since I bought TWO. One for me and one for my husband.

Best Deals for Farberware Classic Stainless Steel 1-1/2-Quart Open Sauce Pan

We have other stainless steel Farberware pots and pans and were in need of a new 1 1/2 quart (which any 1 1/2 quart is practically to impossible to find). Being it was listed as a Classic Farberware product we figured it would be like our other older ones, which are 100% stainless. Much to our dismay, this Farberware Classic was anything but. It was Stainless plated and not true stainless steel. You can test stainless with a magnet, as it will not stick to stainless steel. We should have been skeptical because of the low price but we took the chance. The pot was pretty heavy duty just the same, and for the price I guess it was worth the cost. Therefore we did not return it, but do not expect it to outlast and hold up as real stainless steel would. All in all, we are happy to have another 1 1/2 quart pot. As we stated, it is heavy weight and will do the trick, but we will continue to search for the real deal and one that is not tapered at the bottom, (longer to heat as the bottom surface is not dimensional to the rim. Like everything now days, you get what you pay for, and maybe the cost of making a 100% stainless pot is too high for the manufacture to make large enough profit. However they should have stated that it was plated in the description. Now you know!

Honest reviews on Farberware Classic Stainless Steel 1-1/2-Quart Open Sauce Pan

I bought this pan trusting good reviews, however I am very disappointed.

Pros:

pan is really cheap

you can boil an egg in this pan (the clean up would be easy after that one. Maybe)

Cons:

rounded bottom edges should be perfect for whisking sauces and custards, but it seems that only the bottom has an aluminium core, so the sides are not heated through. As a result your sauce will not be heated evenly. I contacted producer to check this, they did mot respond.

it is impossible to clean. Neither dishwasher nor bar keepers friend could remove the stains the pan seems to create out of any substance which gets into it (milk, soup for reheating, pretty much anything else, than again see pros). I have other stainless steel pots, sadly those are expensive, they clean up just fine.

material is thin and flimsy

plastic handle warms up and smells like, well burnt plastic, even when I use medium heat.

Overall, even considering the price, I regret this purchase.

The Paderno Grand Gourmet series of pots is without a doubt one of the best available, far out shining All Clad and Calphalon. I wish that Cooks Illustrated would include them in their reviews. They have thick bottoms, and the thickness varies by pot diameter. Of special note is the top rim, which are straight edged, like professional cooks prefer, and are double thickness at the edge, giving the pot extra strength. I have owned these pots for a decade and can attest to the fact that they are indestructible. Even with accidents and occasional misuse, they continue unharmed. Paderno Grand Gourmet is one of the few manufacturers that make commercial sized pots (sitram does too) and the wide range of sizes is useful for the home cook that often has a large number of guests at their table. Also, these pots are perfect for use in the oven. I wish the lids came with the pots, but it is no inconvenience to buy them separately on amazon.com --just buy the diameter that matches the diameter of your pot. All that said, I have occasionally gotten a damaged pot when buying through amazon, but never when purchasing elsewhere. I think that the packers at amazon occasionally drop items, and the two damaged pots that I have received had the metal disk on the bottom nicked on an edge --of course the pot remained fully functional, but it shouldn't have been that way. Highly recommended!

It worked perfect and the cabbage, meatballs and potatos were yummy. The seal and pressure valve are very important in the safty of using a pressure cooker.

I Tried every which way to make it fit but to no avail. I just gave up and threw the pressure cooker in the trash. I did give it a try though.
