Orka Silicone Tajine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have an Orka silicone steamer, which I adore (see other review). The tagine, however, is a bit of a mixed bag. I bought this tajine as a gift and here, in short, are the pros and cons. I haven't used it to cook, firsthand, so I am really just reviewing its design elements. However, if it cooks anything like the steamer does, I assume the food produced is excellent.
Pros: easy-to-clean silicone; withstands high heat; can go in the oven or the microwave; dishwasher safe
Cons: really too small to be a good tajine, unless you're cooking for one; not the sturdiest construction, would really benefit from a more stable bottom; grips on the top portion would be nice as well
Because of its small size, the couple who I bought it for can hardly ever find an occasion to use it.

The perfect solution to turn less-expensive cuts of meat into the most tender meal. The tajine is a type of dish found in the North African cuisines of Morocco,which is named after the special pot in which it is cooked. Excellent for braising at low temperatures, the pot has two distinct parts traditionally made from clay; a base unit which is flat and circular with low sides, and a large cone or dome-shaped cover that rests inside the base during cooking. This unique dome-shaped design allows for the return of all condensation to the bottom. Remove the cover and the base can be taken to the table for serving. Old-world meets modern convenience. Flexible and unbreakable, this silicone tajine is easy to store and clean. Microwave, oven and dishwasher safe.

Emile Henry Flame Top 3.7 Quart Tagine, Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After using a silicone tagine and accidentally breaking a traditional tagine (cracked during use), I love this tagine. It is nice not having to prep and then nurse a traditional style for fear of it breaking. We've had it for about 2 weeks and have used it 5+ times. It heats and cooks beautifully on our stovetop, washes easy, and is very durable. The price is high, but the tagine is definitely worth it.

Emile Henry Tagine, 2.6 Qt Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love tagine cooking. I purchased a traditonal clay one years ago. You had to soak it overnight in cold water before use. I hadn't used in in over a year and I knew I was taking a chance when I didn't bother to soak it. I even smiled as I watched the crack form and spread. At last I had an excuse to purchase this one!
Dishwasher safe! No soaking, although you do need to boil milk in it before the first use. This size feeds six. I lucked out and found a black one at Crate and Barrel Outlet.
Although I was annoyed with the upkeep of a tradtional tagine, I didn't want to switch to stainless steel or cast iron. This new glazed clay is a wonderful innovation.
This one cooks evenly. Cleans up easily and is nice enough to serve from at the table. If you are serious about the cuisine, this is the one to purchase. I'm concerned about the cast iron and stainless steel ones by other companies. Those aren't traditional materials and they conduct heat much more effeciently. The food may cook too quickly. This is as close to the original as you can get without the prep and cleanup hassles that come with it.
