Induction-Safe Tajine Delight Emile Henry

The Tajine Delight by Emile Henry is much more than a beautiful casserole: it is a genuine next-generation ceramic tajine, lighter, more durable, and versatile than traditional ones, but with all the magic of slow cooking. With it, your stews will be tender, aromatic, and full of flavor, whether you cook on gas, ceramic hob, oven, or even induction.

This tajine is an ideal piece for lovers of slow cooking and rich aromas, no matter what kind of kitchen you have (yes, it is a ceramic tajine, but with a base designed to work on induction cooktops, as well as traditional stoves).

Also remember that you can use the base without its lid, as a Shallow Casserole, and that the whole tajine or the separate base can also be used in the oven, making it perfect for gratins, stews, and roasts! It is indeed a very versatile piece.

The magic of cooking in a tajine

A tajine is the typical vessel famous for its conical lid, shaped like a pointed hat, which concentrates and circulates steam during cooking. Thanks to this, the ingredients cook slowly in their own juices, remaining juicy and tender, with a more intense and spiced flavor.

During cooking, the steam rises slowly, condenses on the lid, and falls back onto the food, moistening it repeatedly. This natural cycle keeps the ingredients juicy, concentrating aromas and enhancing the flavor of each spice. That’s why it’s ideal for all those dishes we want tender and spiced, because the result is spectacular!

Thanks to this process, the food does not dry out, cooks slowly and evenly, better preserving its nutrients and texture. It is a cooking method of patience and calm, turning even the simplest cuts of meat into tender and flavorful pieces.

What also captivates about the tajine is that it works on its own: just add the ingredients and let it work its magic.

What to cook in a tajine?

The tajine is incredibly versatile. With it you can prepare:

• Classic aromatic meat tajines, like lamb with prunes, chicken with preserved lemon and olives, or vegetables with spices.
• Fish dishes: hake or sea bream with vegetables and spices, juicy and full of aromas.
• Legume stews: chickpeas, lentils, or beans that absorb all the nuances of the spices.
• Sweet recipes: fruits slowly cooked with cinnamon and honey, transforming into delicate and fragrant desserts.
• You can also use it without the lid, not as a tagine but as a Shallow Casserole, for traditional stews on the stove and in the oven, or for gratins and roasts.
