With a 5.5-quart capacity, this tagine is well-suited for family-style meals, comfortably serving 4 to 6 people depending on the recipe.

No, this pot should be hand-washed only. Harsh detergents and the high heat of a dishwasher can damage the natural clay material and compromise its integrity over time.
