Tagine-tastic

Everyone seems to have gone tagine crazy recently, and it really does seem to be the new dinner party trend. There are lots of tagines out there and it is important to buy one that will last and can do everything you want it to. The cheaper terracotta ones, are a bargain but they have to be used with a heat diffuser and are known to crack – the age old trick of putting water in the top dimple really does become a necessity.

Here at ChichesterCookshop.co.uk we recommend buying a tagine that is flame proof, such as Nigella’s Flameware or Emile Henry Flame. Both are designed to be used on the hob, in the oven and even in the microwave.

The Emile Henry Flame line is designed for kitchen use, meaning the designers have thought of everything: it is suitable on all hobs as well as being dishwasher safe. Priced slightly cheaper then the Nigella tagine, and available in a variety of colours; the Emile Henry Tagine is the ideal investment to show off on the dinner table.
