A tagine is more than a pot. The conical lid lets the steam rise, condense at the top and run back down into the food. The result is tender meat and vegetables cooked in their own juices, with very little added liquid.
This small tagine from Staub holds 0.6 litres and suits one or two portions, a side dish or a couple of chicken thighs with lemon and olives. The base is cast iron with Staub's matt black enamel, so you can brown right in it on the hob before putting the lid on. The lid is cream-white ceramic and looks lovely on the table.
Diameter 20 cm, height with lid 15.6 cm, weight 2 kg. Works on all hobs including induction, in the oven up to 260 °C and on the grill. Dishwasher safe. Made in France. Also available in 28 cm.
