Know before you buy
The signature cone shape is designed to capture rising steam and condense it back into liquid, which then drips back onto the food. This continuous circulation keeps ingredients moist and tender, which is essential for slow-cooked Moroccan dishes.
Yes, the cast iron base is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric ranges.
While it is not a chemical non-stick coating, the high-quality enamel finish provides excellent food release when used with a little oil or fat. It is much easier to clean than traditional unglazed clay tajines.
This piece is oven-safe up to 500°F (260°C), allowing you to start your meal on the stovetop and finish it in the oven if needed.
While the tajine is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the luster of the cream enamel finish over time.
This 1.5-quart size is ideal for cooking for two people or for preparing smaller side dishes and appetizers.
