Handmade Moroccan Terracotta Tagine Clay Pot for Slow-Cooked Delights

A Story Fired in Red Earth

In the sun-kissed kilns of Safi, Morocco, master potters hand-throw each tagine clay pot from locally sourced red clay. Their steady wheel marks, left as subtle concentric rings, tell the story of generations who have perfected the art of slow, communal cooking over glowing charcoal.

Design & Dimensions

• Diameter: 12 in / 30 cm (serves 4–6)

• Material: 100 % lead-free natural terracotta

• Finish: Unglazed for superior breathability

• Origin: Ethically handmade in a family workshop

The low, wide base caramelises vegetables while the iconic conical lid recycles steam, basting food from within. That self-basting cycle is why chefs swear by a tagine clay pot for meltingly tender lamb, fragrant vegan tajines or even sourdough-crusted bread.

Why Cook with a Tagine Clay Pot?

• Moist-heat magic – steam condenses at the tip, then drips back down, intensifying flavor.

• Even, gentle heat – terracotta diffuses flame or oven heat, preventing scorching.

• Natural & toxin-free – no glazes, metals or chemicals—just earth and fire.

• Table-to-serve beauty – go from stovetop (with a diffuser) straight to the table.

How to Season & Care

1. Season before first use: soak the base and lid in water for 8 hours. Pat dry, rub the interior with olive oil, then warm slowly in a 300 °F / 150 °C oven for 2 hours.

2. Cooking heat: low to medium flame (always with a diffuser) or oven up to 350 °F / 175 °C.

3. Cleaning: hand-wash with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush; air-dry completely.

4. Storage tip: slip a paper napkin between base and lid to allow airflow.
