Know before you buy
Yes, you can use it on an induction cooktop, but you must use an induction diffuser plate between the tagine and the burner. Because the vessel is made of ceramic clay rather than magnetic metal, it requires this accessory to generate heat.
The unique shape of the lid is designed to circulate steam back into the base of the pot. This creates a continuous self-basting cycle that keeps ingredients moist and tender, which is essential for slow-cooking Moroccan stews.
The glaze is highly scratch-resistant, but we still recommend using wooden or silicone utensils to maintain the finish over time. While it is designed for durability, avoiding metal tools will help keep the surface pristine for years.
Yes, Emile Henry Burgundy clay is highly resistant to thermal shock. It is engineered to handle temperature changes, allowing you to move it from a cold environment directly into a preheated oven without the risk of cracking.
The tagine is dishwasher safe, but hand washing with warm, soapy water is often just as easy due to the nonstick glaze. If you have stubborn, stuck-on food, simply soak the pot for a few minutes before wiping it clean.
Yes, this tagine is broiler safe up to 500°F. It is an excellent way to add a final touch of color or a light crust to your dish before serving.
