We have 2 types of pouf. The medium sized ones are natural dyed untreated whilst the large size is patent - this means it is coated with a very thin plastic film.
Here are care instructions for both types of pouffe.
General
* Avoid direct sunlight to prevent the colour from fading.
* Do not place near a radiator - the heat will dry out the leather.
* All of our pouffes are made from 100% natural leather - dont worry if there are small imperfections or variations in colour.
* If your pouf gets wet then immediately wipe it with a soft dry cloth, remove any filling and pack it with paper to absorb any water. Leave it to then dry naturally.
Large patent poufs
* Treat your pouf as you would any other patent leather item. Wipe off any dirt or marks with a damp cloth. Do not wet directly.
Medium poufs
* Treat your pouf as you would any other leather item. Wipe off any dirt or marks with a soft dry cloth.
Filling your leather pouf
We get asked repeatedly about what is the best way to fill our leather pouffes (you can view our latest range by clicking here) so here are a few handy hints.
If you are going to be sitting on your pouf regularly then we recommend filling the pouf with fabric.
1) Each of our pouffes has a zip fastener running along the base of the pouf to allow easy access for filling. Turn upside down and unzip to start filling.
2) The cheapest way to fill a pouf is by using any old clothes or fabric you have. The heavier the fabric the better - for example a pair of curtains or jeans.
3) You do not need to cut the fabric into small pieces - just stuff inside the pouf until full. You will need to manipulate the fabric though to remove any lumps and bumps. Ideally put a piece of fabric flat on the inside of the pouf (what will be the top when you turn it over).
4) Pack the fabric well inside the pouf to remove as much of the air as possible. Try zipping the pouf closed and check if more fabric is required. You will be surprised how much you can fit inside!
A tagine (also spelt tajine) is a terracotta cooking pot traditionally used for Moroccan dishes of the same name. It has a dish with conical cover. It is similar to a pressure cooker / slow cooker.
The recipe of a tagine is similar to a stew of meat, fish or poultry simmered with a mixture of vegetables, olives and spices. It is usually served with bread or cous cous.
Types of tagine
We supply 2 types of tagine - serving and cooking. The vibrantly coloured tagines are for serving and display purposes only. Not suitable for cooking, (although they can be warmed very gently with a heat diffuser prior to being used for serving food) but great for a dinner party if you are looking to impress your guests!
The terracotta tagines are suitable for cooking. Use these on a hob with a heat diffuser to get an authentic Moroccan flavour.
Tagine Care
Tagines are easy to care for. We stock glazed tagines which means they are not porous like the unglazed version and do not require firing or soaking in water before first use.
If you choose to use your tagine in the oven, then for the first time make sure you gradually increase the heat.
When using on top of the cooker - on the hob (we think this is the best method for cooking) then use a heat diffuser if you can. This helps to spread the heat around the base of the tagine, reduce chance of cracking and stops the base from blackening.
* Not suitable for dish washer cleaning - wash by hand with normal detergent.
Tagine Uses
What can I cook in a tagine? Tagines are great because they are versatile. We have tried all sorts of recipes in them - not just Moroccan. Any sauce based dish works well. Click here for our selection of Moroccan recipes.
