Tagine mat hand woven with traditional materials.
I'ts very important not to place a hot tagine on a cold surface as it will probably crack.these mats grately reduce this risk. and are used traditionally all over morocco.
Tagines were traditionally used by moroccan nomads as portable ovens over charcoal braziers, a tagine is made from glazed earthenware with a conical lid. The base is both a cooking and serving dish. The cone shaped cover acts like an oven and the entire lid is totally sealed to retain heat and moisture, which not only prevents it from drying out during the long cooking process, but also allows the slow infusion of flavors throughout the dish. The lid has an extended knob at the top which is designed to remain cooler and thereby act as a handle.
Tagines come in a large variety of sizes and colors and nowadays are used as much for decor as cooking.
