Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have an Orka silicone steamer, which I adore (see other review). The tagine, however, is a bit of a mixed bag. I bought this tajine as a gift and here, in short, are the pros and cons. I haven't used it to cook, firsthand, so I am really just reviewing its design elements. However, if it cooks anything like the steamer does, I assume the food produced is excellent.
Pros: easy-to-clean silicone; withstands high heat; can go in the oven or the microwave; dishwasher safe
Cons: really too small to be a good tajine, unless you're cooking for one; not the sturdiest construction, would really benefit from a more stable bottom; grips on the top portion would be nice as well
Because of its small size, the couple who I bought it for can hardly ever find an occasion to use it.

The traditional method of cooking in North Africa--the tagine--has been used for centuries to slow cook foods with spices. Little water is needed to keep foods moist, and the unique design of the tagine lid locks in flavors. Orka's tagine, made of 100 percent premium silicone instead of the traditional clay, turns any cut of meat into a tender meal. Excellent for braising at low temperatures, the tagine has two parts; a flat base unit with low sides, and a large cone-shaped lid that rests inside the base during cooking. The lid's unique design returns all of the condensation to the base. The base can be taken to the table for serving. Flexible and unbreakable, this silicone tajine is safe in the oven, microwave, and dishwasher. It measures 1-2/5 inch by 7-1/5 inches by 7-7/10 inches and carries a five-year warranty.
