The Mason Cash Fireclay Tagine is made from high quality stove safe terracotta. The lid is unglazed which allows you to soak it in water before putting it in the oven, which creates steam and keeps your meats and vegetables moist while you cook. It can be used on the stove top as well as in the oven. 11" wide x 8.25" tall. A great addition for the serious cooks kitchen!
