Emile Henry Tagine Questions & Answers

You MUST use a heat DIFFUSER on your cooktop to ensure that a SLOW cooking process can occur. If you don’t use a heat diffuser you can expect to crack your Tagine just as all the reviewers above have done.

Marle - it is my understanding that Emile Henry cookware is best for use on gas. I would suggest you visit the Emile Henry website for more detail info but gas is best so you're fine. I have an electric stove and I hate it as it's so difficult to control the temperature. In any case, you should heat the Tangine slowly so start the heat low and build up as you go.

I am totally in love with my Tangine so I would highly recommend it!

hope that helps

Well ladies mine cracked so I am very unhappy as it should of lasted decades, I did noting to cause this letting it cool down before washing ect

Ours cracked and I don't believe it was through incorrect use on our gas hob. I will not buy any other Emile Henry products.
