Authentic Moroccan Tangia Pot – Handmade Clay Cooking Vessel

The Soul of Marrakech in Your Kitchen

Transport your culinary adventures to the heart of Morocco with our authentic handmade tangia pot, a centuries-old cooking vessel that embodies the rich traditions of Marrakech’s artisan pottery. This isn’t just cookware—it’s a piece of Moroccan heritage, meticulously crafted by skilled potters in the ancient medina workshops where the art of tangia pot making has been perfected over generations.

CRAFTSMANSHIP & DESIGN

Each tangia pot is individually hand-thrown on a traditional potter’s wheel using premium terracotta clay sourced from the Atlas Mountain foothills. The distinctive amphora shape with dual handles isn’t merely aesthetic—it’s a functional design refined over centuries for optimal heat distribution and easy handling. The warm terracotta glaze develops a beautiful patina with use, telling the story of countless meals shared with loved ones. The characteristic wide mouth and narrow base create the perfect environment for slow-cooking traditional Moroccan dishes, allowing flavors to meld and intensify. Learn more about the artistry behind these vessels in our guide to Moroccan Pottery Types and Decorations.

PERFECT FOR

The tangia pot is the secret weapon for creating the legendary Moroccan Tanjia Marrakchia—a slow-cooked meat dish traditionally prepared by burying the pot in hammam coals. Try our authentic Moroccan Tanjia Marrakchia in 20 mins recipe to experience this culinary masterpiece. Beyond tanjia, this versatile vessel excels at tagines, stews, braised meats, and even baking bread. It’s ideal for home cooks seeking authentic Moroccan flavors, restaurant chefs adding cultural authenticity to their menu, and food enthusiasts who appreciate traditional cooking methods. The porous clay naturally seasons over time, enhancing every dish you prepare.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Before first use, soak your tangia pot in water for 2-3 hours to prevent cracking. Always heat gradually—never place a cold pot directly on high heat. Hand wash with warm water and mild soap; avoid harsh detergents or dishwashers. Allow to air dry completely before storing. With proper care, your tangia will become a treasured heirloom, improving with each use. The natural clay may develop hairline crazing—this is normal and adds character without affecting performance.
