Would not use an aluminium one personally. You want a good knob at the top that wont get super hot, otherwise you cant get the lid off. I prefer one you can use on the stove top.

I bought one at Stevens - like many you see, the base is quite shallow, and it didn't hold as much as my recipes wasfor.But apart from spillage in the oven (once - got that sorted) the taste of the food was exquisite (used the same recipe both times).

What was the recipe cosimo! I won a pottery one a few years ago but it's a bit on the small side, ok for 2 though, but not family size meals. Haven't used much, so looking forward to seeing what you cooked!

Oh - I'll go and find the recipe.Yes, it was a family size meal- perhaps that was the problem.

found it - was chicken with apricots and honey - and the problem was it had 250 ml of chicken stock plus the juicein a 425 can of apricots - other recipes I've looked at don't seem to have that much.But then, apart from what went on the oven floor, the rest was absorbed and it was extremely tasty.I would do it again, for a third time, with protection for the oven!
Does one copy recipes out in this message board! happy to do so.

Ooh, working through the recipe I mentioned, I have realised it wasn't the one I cooked in the tagine.Every thing sounded right until I was half way through it - being chicken it didn't need an hour in the oven, so that was that.It will teach me to have too many cook books.II will keep looking.Unless you want the chicken one (not cooked in a tagine)
