Hello, This is it, I finally took the time to make a tagine last night with a simple recipe for the first time! it was noted in the description 35.6 cms is the dimension between the two ends of the base handles while the actual size is 28 cms and height of the base is only 5 cms, it's probably not for 6/8 people, as he had written !!!!! suddenly yesterday after 45 minutes it started to overflow I had fat all over my plate and I had to finish cooking in a larger pan - It's really, really too small - I want you back but I used it once more in the dish there are white marks. I can not return it to you? and recommended another, greater power and especially thank you and good day ....
