Moroccan tagine – traditional pottery cooking
Cooking with a Moroccan tagine is a delicious and healthy way to prepare dishes. Tagines are very popular in the Netherlands these days and are used for making flavorful stews with meat, chicken, fish, or vegetables.
At Marocstore, you will find an extensive range of Moroccan cooking tagines. Our collection consists of various models, such as glazed tagines, unglazed tagines, painted tagines, and simple traditional varieties.
What is a Moroccan tagine?
A tagine is a traditional North African cooking pot made from 100% natural earthenware. The tagine consists of two parts: a wide, shallow base and a conical lid. Thanks to this unique shape, moisture circulates during cooking, allowing dishes to simmer slowly and become exceptionally tender and flavorful.
The conical lid ensures that the steam generated during cooking drips back into the dish. This keeps ingredients juicy and allows herbs and spices to develop their full flavor.
Handmade tagines
All of our Moroccan tagines are handmade by skilled artisans using traditional techniques. Many tagines are also hand-painted with beautiful patterns and colors, giving each tagine a unique character.
In addition to cooking tagines, you will also find serving tagines and decorative tagines in our range. These are intended for presenting dishes or as decoration and are not suitable for cooking.
Using an earthenware tagine
An earthenware tagine is designed for use on low and even heat sources. This allows dishes to simmer slowly and the flavors to blend optimally.
- Suitable for use on gas
- Suitable for use in the oven
- Suitable for barbecue or charcoal
- Not directly suitable for induction
If you want to use a tagine on an induction cooktop, you can use an induction adapter. This allows an earthenware tagine to be used safely on induction as well.
Healthy and flavorful cooking
Slow cooking in a tagine preserves nutrients better and allows herbs and spices to fully shine. This makes the tagine ideal for preparing traditional Moroccan stews with a rich and authentic flavor.
