STAUB – 327 – Tajine Cast Iron Cherry Red,28 x 28 x 20 cm

I was initially cautious about buying this item as the description only stated a size of 28x28x20cm and a 2L capacity. Without physically seeing the actual item, I was confused as to why the volume was 2L whereas other Tagines were of similar size but larger capacity. However, after reading good reviews, I took a punt! Upon arrival, I thought it did look a bit smaller than I hoped which is when I took some measurements. From my many years of working in a cookware/hardware shop, it is generally assumed pan measurements are taken from the inside diameter. The 28cm advertised is actually the outside diameter, thus making it look a little small due to a 1cm lip. After trying a recipe, there was enough capacity for my family of 3 but could do 4 at a push. There was no issues with it working on our induction hob. I've added some measurements to one of Amazon's photos to give a clearer idea of size.

Great quality Tajine

Wow ,wow ,wow looks better in real then on the photo. I haven't used it yet but very happy to own this and the price was good too!(that why I bought it and can't wait to cook with it.Great dish. REALLY.

Delighted with this... so much so I bought both small and large. Remember, a tajine is a slow cooker... if with the lid on it's sputtering in use you need to turn it down... the heavy enamelled cast iron base is ideal for this, giving an even, steady heat even if using a ceramic or induction stove that cycles on/off to maintain temperature at low settings (mine doesn't but I've used on another which did and it wasn't a problem.) The lid is a substantial stoneware(?) item, glazed on the outside. I would recommend seasoning the inside before use. Soak in salty water overnight, rinse and soak in clean water another night, airdry, warm in the oven until bone dry, oil (I prefer flax to olive for this, I think it polymerises better) and put back in the oven gradually bringing up to high heat to "cook on" the oil. This last part I did a couple of times. This'll give you an even nut brown water resitant coating _in_ the surface which will make clean up easier and avoid getting uncured oils from cooking in the surface which could turn rancid/attract mould (a fairly common issue.)

Excellent quality and meals have been amazing

I bought this tagine to experiment with the cooking style (I usually cook casseroles in the oven with a le Creuset pot, but wanted to try something more economical). The first time I used this, I overloaded it and a lot of liquid bubbled out onto to top of my stove - the lamb was beautifully tender though). The next time. I was careful to cook with less liquid and to monitor the ingredients carefully. The result was outstanding. I have a number of casseroles, but this is the one I will use on my stovetop from now on - the list of recipes is endless, and it really does seal the flavour of your food in. It is very easy to reduce your fruit/vegetables to mush, so remember to add them later! This is a perfect size for one greedy person or two normal ones!

Excellent quality

However terribly small. Returned and got a refund easily though

Kwaliteitsproduct, perfect voor ons thuis

Size does matter...

Excelente calidad y diseño. Ideal para una o dos personas. Fácil limpieza. Los tajines quedan deliciosos.

Excellent little pot. Great manufacturing quality and is beautiful. Just be careful to not chip the enamel on the base edges with the lid or metal tools. Use a ruler or tape measurer to make a cardboard or paper cutout in the diameter of this before buying. Compare the size to your other pans. It is small. It is cute. Not sure why the listing is in Japanese but it arrived to my door without damage Very fun to cook small meals in, which is the whole point. Don't get this unless you're looking for a very small fun cookware to enjoy. I'd recommend getting a nice stainless steel frypan over this if you're on a budget. This is definitely a fun luxury thing. It fits a few chicken thighs fine. It also looks great on the stove!

Check your dimensions as this was smaller than I thought but perfect size for a quick one person dinner. Really strong, solid construction. Very happy and will probably get the larger size too.
