Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Moroccan Tagine, 2.5 qt., Cerise

Excellent tagine. Good looking and easy to keep clean. Cooks evenly with food staying moist and delicious.

My boss loved his Christmas gift this year. He cooked a meal with it over Christmas break and said it worked great.

Well made tagine.Absolutely beautiful!

The tagine works as advertised. We've had three meals and all were excellent. On the "con" side, heat transfers to the lid and it can get quite hot. Size is an issue when trying to cook for more than three or four people. Other than that, we are very pleased with the results. The Tagine was delivered in just a few days, which was a pleasant surprise.

We had the earlier version of the Le Creuset tagine and loved it! Only problem was no lip at the top of the cover. It was repeatedly dropped and chipped.If you have never used a tagine, you will love the moist cooking it provides. Hard to improve on this traditional cooker. Most people do expect that the top is a chimney when they see it. It is closed however to gather moisture and deliver it back to the edges of the pan. I am no scientist, but it works well and can be used for so much than Moroccan cuisine. It's great for stir fry and braising.

Purchased this tagine after much deliberation, due to price and limited space in my kitchen and my life for stuff I don't use. With minimal intervention it is very simple to get tender cooked meats and well blended flavors. The cone helps avoid drowning the food in excess liquid, drying it out, or spending extra time tending the pan. Cleanup is a snap. The cast iron base is very versatile, which offsets the higher cost a bit. The le Creuset booklet contains recipes which are easy to follow. In particular the beef and olives recipe pleased some very selective eaters who are highly familiar with Moroccan cuisine.

Made a chicken with lemon and olive tagine with this last night and it performed beautifully. I've been using ceramic tagines for years since I had a gas cook top, but now I have a magnetic induction cooking surface and I needed to find something with an iron or steel bottom. Cast iron works wonderfully well on an induction plate and the reputation of Le Creuset is well deserved. Be aware, however, that this 2 quart model is perfect for 2 or 3 people. If you're trying to feed a larger family I would recommend the larger version of this unit.

Made in China and seller specifies order has been picked up/delivered to USPS when a review and phone call to USPS shows that item has NOT been shipped. Took many messages to get seller to refund. Not trustworthy!
