Anyone out there have a tagine? Pro, con? Worth the $$$? Want one. Not sure it's worth it.

Traca, I've considered getting the "Real McCoy" but after googling, have found
that a good Dutch oven is the next best thing. I also read that the "authentic" ceramic ones have lead in them and are very unsafe.
Here's my lamb tagine post that worked very well in my Le Creuset.
Edited to say I've made this twice with great results.

Thanks Erin. I'm hanging with Paula later this week. I'll pick her brain, though she's
admittedly biased. Apparently she's got a really nice collection of tagines. Personally, I'm a minimalist and I'd like to explore her books...without one. (Her claypot cooking book, I gave away because I figured I'd never get around to buying the equipment.)Her new Morocco book as me thinking twice....

Here's some facts about ceramic cookware that I've already
explored.
Don't forget that the authentic (foreign) tagines don't hold too much and in my opinion, are not practical nor safe with the lead in the ceramic.
A cast iron Dutch oven (seasoned) would be the best economical choice if you don't have a good Dutch oven in my opinion.

Erin, Paula's product should be good as it should meet US safety standards.
