Couscous makers

Which couscoussier to choose?

The traditional couscoussier is the most common model. It can be made of stainless steel, aluminum or cast iron. The stainless steel couscoussier ensures even cooking thanks to rapid heat diffusion. Stainless steel is a sturdy, resistant and durable material that's easy to maintain. Aluminum couscoussiers heat up quickly, saving you time. Aluminum is also lightweight, making it ideal for handling a 4-liter or larger couscoussier. You also need to take into account the number of people to be catered for. For 2 people, a 2-liter couscoussier is ideal. The rule of thumb is 1 liter = 1 person. So, for 6 people, choose a 6-liter couscoussier, and for 8 people, opt for an 8-liter couscoussier. It's also important to think about your heat source in the kitchen. Most couscoussiers are suitable for all hobs, like the Baumalu couscoussier, but it may be worth choosing an induction couscoussier if necessary. The Beka couscoussier, on the other hand, is made of stainless steel, is suitable for all burners and can even be used in the oven.

How do I use a tagine dish?

Tagine dishes are also available in a variety of materials. The traditional tagine is a terracotta dish. On our site, we offer the Emile Henry tagine, a refractory ceramic tagine dish. Ceramic is a healthy, natural material that is suitable for almost all heat sources, except induction. It's also an oven-safe tagine dish. The cast-iron tagine is induction-compatible. This tagine dish is ideal for long cooking times, as it diffuses heat evenly and retains it long after cooking is complete. Please note, however, that cast iron is a material that can make your tagine dish heavy. The stainless steel tagine is a strong, lightweight dish that is generally suitable for all heat sources, even induction. So, for 2 to 4 guests, a tagine dish measuring up to 25cm is ideal. Beyond that, a 30 cm tagine dish is a good option for 6 to 8 people. And if you're looking for a versatile cooking utensil, choosing a couscoussier tajine is an interesting idea.
