Not ready to commit $100 for the pleasure of cooking in a tagine?
Though these conical cooking vessels from Morocco produce wonderful stews and braised meats, the price of the more common, but higher priced brands may keep first-timers at bay.
But now there is a way to enjoy tagine-style cooking without the investment. SiliconeZone offers a silicone tagine cover designed to work with any skillet up to 12 inches. The cover lets you convert any pan into a tagine.
Cooking in a tagine is simple. Food first is seared in the skilletlike bottom. Then the cone-shaped cover is placed over it and steam rising from the food condenses and drips down, producing moist, tender dishes, especially meats.
While there are other silicone tagines on the market, most come as a set with a top and bottom. But those with silicone bottoms can’t be used over direct heat.
List price for a SiliconeZone’s Tagine Lid is $19.99.
