Editorial Reviews

This stunning Moroccan Tagine is designed with a shallow enameled dish and conical lid which is ideal for the long, slow simmering of rich, flavorful recipes. The eye-catching, tight-fitting lid forms an excellent seal to keep moisture and heat inside. The conical shape also helps moisture circulate throughout the piece so there's no need to open, stir or turn the tagine, making for easy preparation.About Le Creuset... Since 1925, artisans have been crafting Le Creuset cookware in the French village of Fresnoy Le Grand. Each piece of Le Creuset cast iron cookware is handcast, polished, double enamel-coated and then fired, resulting in some of the finest quality cookware available. Cast iron is one of the best materials for distributing heat gently and thoroughly and is ideal for induction ranges. The strong enamel coating will not absorb odors or flavors, and is easy to clean. Heavy lids securely seal in moisture and flavor. Le Creuset cookware comes in a variety of sizes, colors and styles to match any kitchen and cooking preference. So lasting, you'll pass it on to the next generation of promising cooks.

Messy

Customer Rating:

Big disappointment here. Seems no matter what you cook, it ends up
spilling all over the stove. Have tried both adding a little water and
none, the same thing happens. Been searching the net and found many
comment on the le creuset that this is a design flaw not found in others.
As far as taste will have to agree with others, if cooked in a reg
le creuset casserole taste the same. Its just a cool looking dish to
have in the kitchen.

Awesome!

Customer Rating:

I don't have any experience cooking Moroccan cuisine but have been intrigued by the tagine for a while. I eventually broke down and bought one, and couldn't be happier!!!! First try with my new tagine and received many rave reviews from some picky/brutally honest friends/family!

The tagine was very easy to use, and more amazingly it was SO easy to clean after the meal! (I thought with the sticky ingredients, and almost 2 hour cook time that it would be baked on but it seriously came right off!!!)

I didn't experience any liquid pouring over or spitting out as one reviewer mentioned but I will experiment more and see what happens!

As many other reviewers have mentioned - The Honey Chicken was great!

LOVE my Le Creuset Tagine!!!!!!!!!!!

as a man that i am i can come home from work late put this on the stove and in two hours i'm eating real tastey food and it makes enough for three or four people.

Beautiful cookware

Customer Rating:

I was very happy to discover that not only is this tagine a hardworking, efficient Le Creuset product, but it's also very beautiful. It's heavy, of course, but perfect for the kind of slow cooking necessary in this kind of cuisine. I bought it for a Christmas present and it was difficult to part with it.

easily misunderstood

Customer Rating:

I would start by saying that I have never cooked with a traditional tagine. However, I've had some great luck with the Le Creuset tagine. Based on the many reviews I've read here, I feel that an important element is that you reduce watery elements more than you normally would prior to adding the meats or major vegies. For instance, making a Moroccan meatball dish, I cook the onions and tomatoes longer than I might normally before adding the uncooked meatballs and covering the dish. This eliminates any problem with moisture spitting out of the sides of the tagine (hasn't happened to me yet). Just remember that little moisture is necessary. And yes, I add an ice cube to the top now and again, and I'm not entirely convinced it changes much, but I keep experimenting.

Because I began using a whole new set of Moroccan dishes when I purchased this tagine, and this has included a wide range of spices, it's hard for me to know from whence my excitement springs. But I've really enjoyed using it and making and eating these dishes. I cook more than my wife does, and she wants me to use it all the time.

I would also add that I am a fan of cast iron, the cheaper kind without the Le creuset enamel. The upside of this tagine is that the matte enameled surface is non-porous, so today's dish is not flavored by yesterday's. But this is also a downside, according to me. I rather enjoy knowing that the cooking implement is growing in flavor and is a sum of many nights' cooking.

The other reviews that complain about its small size have a point. It can't do anything larger than for four. My wife and I have enough left over for one more meal (four people at one meal, or two people at two meals).

On the stove, it looks amazing. Very dramatic presentation at the table.

On the whole, I highly recommend this item.
