Someone gave me a Moroccan ceramic tagine pot

Any secrets to using it? I think the person who gave it to me used it for ornamental use. I'd like to try it but have never cooked a Moroccan dish. Does it need to be seasoned first?

I’ve only used a Le Creuset tagine, which has a ceramic topic but a cast iron bottom.

I seasoned mine first. Also, I use a heat diffuser so the ceramic doesn't crack from heat. I had to watch a lot of YouTube to find some fairly easy recipes to get me started.

It may just be decorative. You can use it to serve food, but I wouldn’t actually cook in it unless it indicates that it is flame- or ovenproof.

I thought of that R2. I have electric (boo!) so I figure it needs to be off the burner.

R1, I have both large and regular size LC tagines; I've only ever used the large one, for some Moroccan chicken recipe or other.

But I think the design, though pretty cool looking, has a major flaw: no handles on the cone top. Very slippery and difficult to lift (and of course heavy; it's LC, duh!) once cooking commences.

I wouldn't recommend.

Leave it with me. I season it real good for you.

Moroccan food is good to look at and well presented but pretty mediocre.

I have one of those Creuset tagines, bot couldn’t figure out what it does different from a Dutch oven, and r5 is right about the cone.
