The Tagine

Inspired by the traditional Middle Eastern clay pot, the Tagine is a medium-sized, covered casserole that can be used for baking, braising or roasting foods in the oven; it is also wonderful for keeping foods warm before serving and storing foods before or after cooking.

The base of the Tagine is the Pasta Bowl, and the lid is the Cereal Bowl. The flared rim on the Pasta Bowl allows for easy handling of the Tagine when hot out of the oven.

3/4-quart of liquid fits within the base, filled just short of the inner ledge on which the lid rests, with additional room in the lidded container, easily containing up to 1-1/2 quarts of food. One can prepare entrée size stew, or serve 6-cup mound of rice, mashed potatoes, or vegetables.
