Cathy, next time try rubbing the ras el hanout under the skin. Yeah, I know it's a PITA technique. But you won't believe the difference it makes.

Also, while I recognize that a crockpot is essentially a machine for braising, I wonder if there's be a taste difference if you made the same recipe in your tagine?

I would say their would be a difference. You wouldn't need as much liquid so the flavors I think would be more concentrated. I want a tagine! DH says I have too much kitchen stuff already and I have no place to put one but they aren't that big. I might just bring one home anyway and he will have to deal with it.

Just remember that some are designed to be used directly on the stove and some not.

As a general rule, those that are glazed should be used in the oven, or with a heat diffuser on the range. Unglazed tagines can be used directly over the burner, albiet on very low heat.

Tagines are one of those things you think about, and think about, until finally breaking down and buying one. Once you do that, you want more than just the one. I've got two cooking tagines, now, and have been studying on serving tagines.

Well you know I tell him he should at least be happy he gets to benefit hugely from my hobby. If I collected baby dolls for instance he would still have to build a cabinet and would get nothing for his work but a baby dolls display.

Dinner tonight is Stir fried vegetables and grilled miso marinated jumbo shrimp.
