The Product :
Beautiful Large and Medium sized tajines hand crafted and painted in The Moroccan capital city. Tajine or tagine (Arabic: ) is a North African Arabian dish which is named after the earthenware pot in which it is cooked. It is also called a Maraq/marqa in North Africa and the Middle East.The dish would have been already famous amongst the nomadic Bedouin people of the Arabian Peninsula, who added dried fruits like dates, apricots and plums to give it its unique taste. During the Islamic reigns, the concept of cooking in an Asian cookingpot with its specific ingredients would have been brought to East Africa, North Africa and Spain.
For premium results when cooking in your new Tagine (glazed or not glazed), it is highly recommended, if not mandatory, that it is seasoned before initial use. Please follow the simple step-by-step instructions and pictures listed below for maximum quality taste.
1/
Water and Space: The new tagine (both parts) needs to be submerged into water for up to 6 hours.
If you cannot submerge it, place it in a clean sink and slowly fill the base with water until it stops absorbing it.
Let it stand for full absorption of water into the clay.
2/
Empty excess water and dry the tagine. Let it stand for about 1 hour.
3/
Olive Oil: Rub the inside of the base and lid with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, NOT the outside of the lid or base.
4/
Cold Oven: Place the oiled tagine in a cold oven, set the temperature to 350° and let it bake for 2 hours.
5/
After 2 hours, turn off the oven and leave the tagine to cool down completely in the turned off oven. Following this process will strengthen your tagine. Please re-season if unused for 6 months or more.
PLEASE NOTE :
Be careful not to subject your tagine to extreme changes in temperature when in use.
They cannot resist thermo shocks and can easily crack.
Please refrain from adding cold water on a hot tagine during cooking or right after.
Start cooking with low heat until the tagine is warm.
Then proceed to medium heat and do not increase the heat too high, keep it on a steady/stable temperature all the way.
TAGINE CLEANING :
It is highly recommended that you hand wash your tagine and it is handmade and could be damaged in a dish washer.
Leave it to dry flat.
Do not leave it submerged in soapy water.
