The terafeu tagine dish is handmade in France, based on lead-free enameled refractory earth and cooked at 1200 ° C. This refractory earth (natural clay) is the best material to bring out the flavor of food through cooking, here a stewed cooking, and to keep your food soft. In addition, clay being a natural insulator, this tagine maintains the heat for a long time after cooking, if the food is kept enclosed under the lid, in its dish. Be careful, however: this tagine dish is only suitable for gas or electric ovens. It is, however, presented by its manufacturer terafeu-terafour, as dishwasher safe. Initial precautions: the manufacturer recommends that your tagine be soaked for 2 hours in cold water before first use. After too long a period of disuse, the manufacturer also recommends wetting the underside of the dish under the tap before use. Never use a mixer or cut food in it, which must, once cooked, be removed to be cut on a plate other than that of the tagine, to preserve the enamel. Never preheat the earth or the heat diffuser (your oven): fill your tagine with the food you want to cook in it, then, only then, put it in the oven and turn on the oven, for a temperature rise that accompanies that of the oven. It is imperative that the heat is stored by the earth slowly, gradually. User guide provided. Shipping in a double-shell package: your tagine dish is first wrapped in bubble wrap in a first box, which is itself wrapped and protected with moving bubbles in a second, larger box.
