KooK Moroccan Tagine, Enameled Cast Iron Cooking Pot, Tajine with Ceramic Cone-Shaped Closed Lid, 3.3 QT, (Terracotta)

This tagine is the miracle cookware that you didn't know that you NEED! It has FAR exceeded my expectations, and I'm so happy that I took a chance on it because it is so versatile and easy to use/clean. It is also better quality (and larger) than fancy-brand versions that go for 4 times the price!Although tempted, I had resisted buying a clay tagine in the past because it seemed a little too niche, but the cast-iron bottom of this version is an absolute game-changer! It is even enameled cast-iron, so there is no continuous maintenance required with oiling, etc.; the instructions make it clear that it's ready to go after a single wash, right out of the box.The fact that I can plop this tagine right on my stovetop is, honestly, more awesome than words can describe -- that might sound dorky, but cooks who appreciate ease and practicality will adore it. Having the option to use it in the oven for slow-roasting is great, but quickly cooking up meals without lugging it out of the oven to check on progress makes this tagine something that can truly be used to cook just about anything on even given day. Meats cook rapidly but stay so very moist and delicious, and there's no limit to what can be added.The size is bigger, and importantly, deeper than expected. You can truly cook a whole roast or chicken with additional ingredients (plus room for liquid) for a whole family without it being a tight squeeze. The well-designed features ensure that it doesn't leak steam/water during cooking, and the lip around the bottom makes it easy to pick up and move around. It's heavy, quality-made, and definitely my new favorite kitchen gadget.LOVE IT! Fervently recommend it for making tagines or any meal whatsoever!

Gave this to my sister who’s favorite for is Indian. She LOVED it! It’s quite well made and like like a work of art. Extremely heavy but I imagine it’s durable because of that. Came with recipes. Super happy with my purchase.

After using my clay tajine from Morocco here for years, I decided to give this one a try to avoid use of a heat diffuser. LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Sturdy, beautiful and cooks moroccan cuisine perfectly.

We bought this to cook up some Moroccan dishes and love it. It looks so nice, cleans up well and we’ve made some delicious meals in it both with the cover and without. My son has even decided that he wants one as a house warming gift when he moves out in his own.

Its a nice pot for for cooking food to low AGEs. Its heavy though, as it is cast iron and a ceramic lid.

As soon as I got it I made a chicken, dried apricot and cinnamon dish that was delicious. This tagine kept the chicken tender, stewed the apricots and other ingredients beautifully and was easy to clean in the end. It is also attractive enough as a cooking vessel to leave out on display when not in use. In short, a great buy.

I bought this tajine to replace a clay one after its lid fell and broke. The first dish, chicken with veggies came out fine. The second one, beef bourgignon, did not. The recipe required oven cooking, so instead of the tajine lid, I used a flat lid from another pot. The wine and stock liquid remained very soupy even after almost two hours of cooking so I added some buttered flower to thicken it and returned the pot in the oven on lower heat, 300F. After another couple of hours the sauce almost completely evaporated and became too brown. I added more wine, port and beef broth to improve the taste, but the meat was overdone by then. So cast iron works completely differently from a clay tajine. It has its advantages ( you can brown the meat directly in it) and disadvantages (it is very hard for me too get it foo cook slowly - the temps always seem high in cast iron). The clay tajine needs different kind of care and it can crack even if you use a diffuser, but if you want real slow cooking and can obtain low, even temperatures on your stove, you will get excellent results. I need a recipe book for the Kook and more experience to give it a proper evaluation.

Excellet cookware!The thick, heavy iron base distributes heat evenly. It cooks perfectly.The cleanup is easy.I highly recommend this product.
