Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 1-3/4-Quart Moroccan Tagine, Red
Customer Review: Best tasting meat dishes ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading all reviews, I purchased one of these. I did a little research on the condensation issue brought up by one reviewer and found that it is most likely because the heat is too high. I have a Decor stove with 18,000 btu burners, and even using the flame tamer and the very lowest setting, my new Le Creuset tagine has a problem with condensation, just as the reviewer mentioned. However, after reading that this is a sign of the heat being too high, I just turn off the burner for a couple of minutes when I see the condensation forming, and it disappears.
I know, it is a bit of a bother to have to turn off the burner every now and then, but it is worth it. Food cooked in this tagine is fantastic! There must be something about that chimney basting the food throughout the cooking that improves the flavor. The taste of the spices permeates the meat so that every fork full is a delight. I have never tasted food this good! It's far better than a crock pot for slow cooking, and the recipes don't have to be Moroccan. I just did a venison stew in it, and it was excellent.
I don't mind that it doesn't fit in my cupboards. It doesn't need to, because I use it all the time, at least three or four meals every week. It sits in a place of honor on my stove top.
If you want fork tender meat with outstanding flavor, then this should be your next purchase!
Description of Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 1-3/4-Quart Moroccan Tagine, Red
A perfect example of age old technology providing superior performance for modern cooks, the tagine originated in Morocco. The shallow enameled dish has a tight fitting conical lid which helps moisture circulate throughout the piece so there is no need to open, stir, or turn the tagine during cooking. It is ideal for long slow simmering of rich and flavorful dishes.For centuries, North Africa has had access to a myriad of wonderful spices to complement the region's diverse selection of seafood and meats. The traditional method of cooking in North Africa--the Tagine--has been used for centuries to slow cook with these spices. Precious little water is needed to keep foods moist, and the unique design of the Tagine lid locks in the combination of flavors. The base in this model, made of cast iron, works with any heat source: gas, electric radiant or solid plates, ceramic, halogen, induction, and Aga-Rayburn-type stoves. The tall, inverted cone shape keeps the top far from the heat source and from absorbing the heat, and thus stays cool to the touch. Le Creuset has also included many wonderful North African recipes for the Tagine, including soups, main dishes, salads, and desserts. Create a truly traditional North African feast with this amazing kitchen supplement. --Teresa Simanton
