Emile Henry 2.6-qt. Ceramic Flame Top Tagine, Pivoine
Tagine refers to both the cooking vessel and the dishes made with it.
This beautiful ceramic tagine introduced a whole new line of cookware from Emile Henry. Two years went into developing the innovative Flame-top line and the tagine was one of the first pieces perfected.
The tagine is made from glazed clay and features a distinctive hat like lid that allows the steam to circulate inside.
The entire range of Flame-Top ceramic cookware has exceptional heat resistance and versatility. These pieces can be used directly on a gas flame, electric or halogen burner without the use of a diffuser.
There are many recipes available to get you started with your beautiful tagine, but keep in mind that Moroccan cooking allows for you to be totally imaginative and it won’t be long before you are creating your own free thinking fabulous meals.
There are a number of tasty tagine recipes on the Group Recipes website including this one for Moroccan Lamb Tangine
The Emile Henry Tagine is available from:

I have been fascinated with the tagine since I first saw it.
I wondered how it would perform, being such an odd looking item, but it is really excellent and there are so many great recipes available for use in a tagine.
There are a number of colors to choose from but I like the red one.

After only 2 months of use mine cracked!! The warranty clearly states that if you are cooking in liquid it is not returnable if damaged. Well, Moroccan cooking of Tagine is a form of braising so in my opinion the warranty is useless and the product is not worth the high price tag. Authentic Tagines from Morocco go for about $15.
The warranty and product are misleading and I am very disappointed.

It is unfortunate that you have had such an experience Lisa. I have nothing but praise for my tagine.
I would certainly follow up with the company you brought the item from or even contact the company direct to see if the issue can be resolved.
Those of my friends who also have this product are very happy with how it performs and have had no problems with quality.
One friend didn’t buy one in Morocco because she was concerned that the paint may contain lead. So she waited until she returned to the US to buy one.
I do recommend that people make sure they buy a tagine that suits their purpose - sizewise.
