Summary: A happily received gift!
Comment: I bought this Emile Henry Tagine as a gift for my daughter's boyfriend, who had been looking for one for a long time. I chose this one for several reasons: it can be used both on the stove top or in the oven; it can go directly on gas or electric burners without a diffuser; their technology allows it to be used on high heat and to go from freezer to microwave to oven; it is lead-free (not always true of imported ones) and it is very beautiful!
They called me as they were eating their first meal cooked in it, a delicious and original concoction of chicken, squash, chinese 5-spice mix, apricots and cinnamon. They reported that it cooked beautifully, cleaned up easily, and looks great in the kitchen.
I bought from Amazon because of the lowest price and quickest service getting it to me. I ordered on a Tuesday and no other vendor could promise that I would have it by Friday! (Even with fast delivery service, they couldn't get the order processed and get it out their door fast enough.) With Amazon, it arrived perfectly on time as promised.

Summary: Love my tagine!
Comment: I bought this tagine last year and have very much enjoyed using it for slow-cooked Moroccan and African dishes (typically requiring 4-8 hours cooking time). The results are a bit different than using a crock-pot, although the process is similar; the difference is probably due to the conical shaped lid. This model is suitable for stove top use; the less expensive and smaller imported Moroccan ceramic versions are meant to be used in an oven, and they are prone to thermal stress cracking if you're not careful. Le Creuset also makes a tagine (cast iron, similar in price to the EH model); I elected to purchase the Emile Henry ceramic version because its more closely related to the traditional design, and you can braise your meat directly in the bottom part right on the stove prior to slow cooking. This tagine is large enough to easily prepare a meat and vegetable dish for 2-4 people, and it cleans up very nicely. Highly recommended because it's an effective means of turning inexpensive meat cuts into mouth-wateringly tender and tasty stews.

Summary: Excellent Product !!!
Comment: I can't praise the Emily Henry Co. for this product. The craftmanship is
superb and this isn't just another cheap over priced product. I've cooked tagines on the stovetop on medium at perfection. The design allows the flavors to recirculate and permeate the food. My chicken apricot sauce with pinenuts was perfect! I have also used it to brown steaks, then
slow cooked to tender. I think I've just found the perfect replacement for the slow cooker. It's really that wonderful.

Summary: Easy to use tagine
Comment: We've created some amazingly tasty Moroccan dinners using the tagine on the stove top. And best of all, when you're done the tagine simply goes into the dishwasher.

Summary: Well worth the cash !
Comment: Emile Henry Flame Top Tagine 12.5", Red I got a wonderful price on this item...74.95 plus free shipping! I couldn't decide if this was really what I wanted, hubby is sick of the kitchen gadgets I buy, no room left in the kitchen. But this was worth the investment by far. This is sturdy, but light weight stoneware I have ever seen. Cooks even, and moist, clean up NO problem, and it is a eye stunning piece. Eggs are wonderful in this, and meats fall off the bone. This was a great investment for my kitchen, and I recommend everyone try using this . The cooking is sooo flavorfull !
