Orka Silicone Tagine, Black Review

I bought two of these tagines--total impulse buy, as we were looking for ways to steam food. They have been an integral part of my kitchen ever since. Spray them with cooking spray, add some fish cut into chunks(we have tried tilapia and salmon thus far), thinly sliced vegetables and spices (I have been experimenting with making my own ras el hanout), put it in the oven at 360, and in 20-25 minutes, dinner is ready!
Comes with a small recipe book that suggests microwave use, but we would rather use the oven. Overall, the tagine makes moist, flavorful low-fat, low calorie meals that don't taste low-fat, low calorie!
Definitely one of my better impulse buys!

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.
