The moisture drips back down onto the foods, allowing for a very moist and tender product. Since grains like couscous and others are a stape of tagine cooking, you don't need to add nearly as much water as a recipe would call for since that cone shape is so efficient in returning the moisture back down to the food. Also, any foods that you cook with the grains (typically tagines are "one pot meals" like meats and fruits will add moisture to the meal, helping to cook the grains and again reducing the water or stock you'd normally have to add.jojoebi-designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17585345777385016260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055098504138674669.post-41377216618468560092011-02-10T20:07:29.652+09:002011-02-10T20:07:29.652+09:00These things are everywhere in Japan now aren'...These things are everywhere in Japan now aren't they? I always wonder what you can do with them that you couldn't do with a normal saucepan, so I'm interested to hear how your experimenting goes!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06661640289867242531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055098504138674669.post-25322425926301270132011-02-10T18:25:10.196+09:002011-02-10T18:25:10.196+09:00It looks delicious Jo, never really thought of buy...It looks delicious Jo, never really thought of buying one, but I think it just might have sneaked onto my wish list now :D<br />I love any kind of hot food cooked in a pan type vessel where all you need is a fork!!

I'm not sure how different it would be to using a casserole dish since it was a new recipe - I'm not 100% sure about this but isn't it the steam that cooks the food in a tagine whereas in a casserole the food is submerged in liquid?<br />I need to play with it more before deciding how much I like it!jojoebi-designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17585345777385016260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055098504138674669.post-35550520216757635972011-02-10T09:30:07.759+09:002011-02-10T09:30:07.759+09:00I take it you cooked it in the tagine - did it tur...I take it you cooked it in the tagine - did it turm out any different to how it would have if it were cooked in a pan/casserole? I'm curious, although the tagines I've seen here look rather small and I'm not sure where I would store a large one!anchanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10310271841918034588noreply@blogger.com
