Ceramic
A ceramic is any of the various hard, brittle, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials made by shaping and then firing an inorganic, nonmetallic material, such as clay, at a high temperature. Common examples are earthenware, porcelain, and brick.
There are three main types of pottery/ceramic. These are earthenware, stoneware and porcelain.
Ceramic art is art made from ceramic materials, including clay. It may take forms including artistic pottery, tableware, tiles, figurines and other sculpture. As one of the plastic arts, ceramic art is one of the visual arts. While some ceramics are considered fine art, such as pottery or sculpture, most are considered to be decorative, industrial or applied art objects.

The word tagine, or tajine, is used to designate, on the one hand, a kitchen utensil respecting the traditions of the Maghreb, a hollow baking dish in terracotta, surmounted by a conical lid, and on the other hand, a dish cooked in this utensil, often a slow cooked stew, which can be composed of meat, poultry or fish, vegetables or fruit.
A Berber invention for cooking as a nomad
The tagine would have been invented long before our era by the Berber people. These people very quickly knew how to take advantage of their semi nomadic way of life. They have thus developed a traditional dish that is easy to prepare and cook over a simple campfire. It was one of the first versions of a slow cooker or dutch oven.
