How to use a varnished tagine pot?

Essential steps to protect your tagine

Before using your tagine for the very first time, it is recommended to immerse the two separate parts in water. You can put them in a bathtub or in a basin filled with cold water and white vinegar. The dish and the lid must be completely immersed in water to protect them from cracking. This immersion must last at least 24 hours.

Once this period has elapsed, empty the water from your bathtub or tub and leave your tagine dish to dry for another 24 hours in the open air. It is not necessary to put it in the sun. Simply leave the terracotta to dry properly before using it.
