Beautiful and long lasting cookware is at your fingertips. Le Creuset has created a Cast Iron Tajine in Cerise Red with a diameter of 27 cm. The base of the Tajine is a sleek black Cast Iron and the lid is made from glazed earthenware in order to maintain authenticity. Offering the same cooking features as the original, steam is re-condensed into water on the cool walls which in turn maintains moisture in the food, particularly for dishes that uses minimal liquid. This Tajine is ideal for slow cooking meats and vegetables. This Tajine is perfect for oven cooking, but can be used with any heat source including induction, gas, electric solid plate or radiant ring, vitroceramic glass, induction and range ovens fired by gas, oil, coal or wood. With the ability to efficiently absorb, spread and retain heat, this Tajine keeps food warm in-between servings. Completely fridge and freezer safe, this cookware must-have can be used to keep prepared food cold. For easy of cleaning, it is completely dishwasher safe. Le Creuset has been handcrafting cast iron cookware since 1925. Made in Fresnoy-Le-Grand in northern France, Le Creuset is still made by master craftsmen in the same time-honoured, hand crafted way. Each piece of Le Creuset passes through more than 30 manual checks. Today, this same commitment and craftsmanship coupled with advances in the casting process has resulted in Le Creuset's lifetime guarantee of quality. Every piece of Le Creuset you acquire is a unique item because the sand mould used to make the shape is used only once and destroyed after each use.
