I know this has been discussed before but I have just returned from Morocco with a glazed tagine that I bought in the souk in Marrakesh. It appears to be sound. I've soaked it in water for two hours then rubbed it wit olive oil and put it in te oven for two hours. I then washed it in warm soapy water as directed on the internet and at no stage in the process was there a grayish residue or any residue for that mater. Does this mean it is lead free and safe for cooking? Has any one bought a tagine from the souk and used it successively without being lead poisoned?!!
I know it wasn't expensive but I would love to be able to use it after having got it this far.
Comments and advice please
Thanks
