Is a traditional tagine necessary, or can I use a regular pot for Moroccan cooking?

I’m interested in making Moroccan dishes but don’t have a tagine. Would a regular pot work, or is it worth investing in a tagine?

A regular pot will work fine, but the tagine has a unique shape that helps with slow cooking and moisture retention. It’s worth it if you cook Moroccan food often.

If you use a regular pot, try to keep the heat low and add more moisture than usual to mimic the effects of a tagine.

I’d recommend a heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid as an alternative. You’ll get a similar result without the specific tagine shape.

The tagine is best for low and slow cooking, but if you’re in a pinch, a Dutch oven can work quite well too!
