Well worth the expense, gives great results,
My husband nearly had a fit when I asked him to purchase a cooking pot that cost over £100! He said it had better be worth it! I can happily say it is! I researched these cooking tagines for a long time before deciding to buy this one. I have read reviews where the lid or base of cheaper decorative tagines crack after a while – something that I didn’t want for myself.
This tagine looks lovely. The meals I have cooked have been out of these world in terms of taste – beautiful succulent lamb and chickpea tagine is my favorite. The recipe booklet included with the pot is very useful too. I have definitely been inspired to make more meals with love and care. I use this pot to cook all my curries in, I find you need less liquid than normal as the liquid doesn’t really evaporate.
The base and lid is a doddle to clean and the pot takes pride of place on my cooker.

|No replacement for broken lid,
This is a nice, but overpriced product. Still, it sells through Amazon.co.uk at a price that is lower (including shipping) than any web store I could find in Spain, where I live.
The bad part, though, is that Le Creuset will not let you buy a replacement for the lid. Mine broke (accidentally) during the second day of usage (fell to the floor). Le Creuset’s customer service says that you cannot purchase a new lid separately, but need to buy a whole new set.
The cast iron part is practically unbreakable, and probably accounts for at least two thirds of the price. I cannot see one good reason (other than lack of customer friendliness) why a lid cannot be replaced separately. Le Creuset gave no reason for this policy.

|Le Creuset Tagine,
The great thing about this tagine is that you can use the cast iron base (with lifetime guarantee) for other cooking uses and you can use it on any hob or put the whole tagine in the oven. Tagines are designed for slow, low temperature cooking with very little liquid. Electric slow cookers produce stews but a tagine produces a meal with a controllable moisture content and retains a full flavour – you can add more liquid, or quick cook vegetables like okra, close to the end if you wish. The slow cooking lets you use cheap cuts of meat and if your guests are late arriving then another half hour cooking makes no difference to the dish. The downside is that the cooking smells are too nice! After using traditional tagine recipes I realised that it is perfect for Indian cooking as well. Any dish using spice mixes benefits from the tagine moisture recirculation concept but don’t use ready made sauces do it from scratch. The 2.1 litre version will do four large portions or six smaller ones with the practical limit being about 1 kilo of meat. It’s a great buy.
