  • Great for decoration or cooking!

    I bought this tagine because it has so much character and feels much more authentic (not to mention cheaper!) than the Le Creuset variety, for example. Since this version is ceramic, more care is needed to season it before use. You can find directions to prep the tagine for cooking at this link: http://moroccanfood.about.com/od/tipsandtechniques/ht/Season_Tagine.htm . We also purchased a heat diffuser as we've heard that ceramic tagines can crack and we wanted to be extra careful. Everything is going great and we are enjoying the unique look of the tagine as well as the good food!

Etched Lombok TaginePRINT THIS PAGE

SKU: 6913050

SKU# 6913050

Hand-formed by women potters of Lombok, Indonesia, this tagine has been low-fired over a wood fire and packed in straw. Because of this, the pottery is fragile - but with careful handling it will last for years. The design on the tagine is hand-etched by the artisans. Before firing, the piece is "burnished"-painted with a mixture of fine clay, water and oil, then rubbed with a smooth stone or hard object. Burnishing compacts and strengthens the pot’s surface, and creates a sheen that enhances the colors and marks created by firing.

The tagine is a traditional Moroccan-style cooking vessel. Included with this tagine is a recipe for Chicken with Apricot and Almonds. The tagine can bake in the oven at heats up to 350 degrees. Please note: as oven temperatures vary, adjustment may need to be made for best results.
