I LOVE my fair trade tagine

I love to cook tajines (food) and have been looking for tajines (dish to cook/serve) for a long time. Although there are many inexpensive, little-used tajines of unknown origin, I was so happy when I found these - the perfect choice for me. As well as the used tagine market, you can buy new tagines from quality manufacturers, but I just couldn't get excited about buying such a traditional culinary staple from ร‰mile Henri or Le Creuset, both French companies, especially knowing that the French had colonized North Africa. I wanted either a local potter or a North African potter. Here's why I love this tagine: 1) I particularly liked that it was made by Tunisian potters, as tagine is a North African tradition. I understand that the seller is a fair trade company that gives credit to the artisans, which was important to me. (I couldn't find any third party proof of his fair trade status so just trusted them.) 2) He's awesome. 3) It does not contain lead. I was planning to cook in it but found it easier and quicker to cook food. in my brazier or pressure cooker and then serve in this tagine. This crockery/platter is a work of art that evokes special occasions while paying homage to the tagine's culinary roots. I keep it on a shelf in my living room when not in use because it's so pretty.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
