try cooking on gas and induction, functions as a traditional tagine. (Net of olive oil, spices on your preparation, and half glass of water if the vegetables do not contain enough). for 6 people maximum. once near the flat is very heavy to move. melting is felt. However, having broken two tagine ceramic bases, I think this one I have for life. if you store your tagine with a little oil, it will not stick during subsequent cooking.
