A tagine is made up of a base dish and a conical lid. In some cases, the tagine lid is spherical. Whether spherical or conical, a tagine lid is essential when cooking with a tagine. Stewing produces steam, which condenses on the lid of the tagine and then drips back into the dish, retaining its flavour and moisture. The name tagine refers both to the stew pot itself and the stew it is used to prepare, which can cause some confusion. The tagine originates in Berber culture, but it is now predominantly recognized as a Moroccan dish.
If you are using a tagine for the first time, it is a good idea to first soak it in cold water for 24 hours. This will make your tagine more heat-resistant, thus reducing the chance of it cracking. To make this as good as nil, we recommend using a heat diffuser. After soaking, grease the base dish of the tagine with a layer of vegetable oil. Then keep the tagine on a low heat until all the oil is absorbed. This will create a natural non-stick coating and the tagine will be ready for use.
The French brand Le Creuset puts a modern spin on the traditional tagine. Tagines used to be heated on fire or coals. Nowadays, induction tagines are also availalble. Le Creuset produces cast-iron tagines that can be used on all heat sources. Another benefit of the Le Creuset induction tagine is that it retains heat for longer than traditional tagines. These tagines are available in various sizes and bright colours, so you’re sure to find a Le Creuset tagine that best suits your needs and style.

Tip: For an earthenware tagines, such as a Sareva tagine, you can use an induction plate!
