Bring the Soul of Moroccan Cuisine Into Your Kitchen

The Al Mohajer Couscoussier is a premium-grade, two-tier stainless steel steamer pot engineered for the way traditional couscous is meant to be cooked — slowly, gently, and with uncompromising flavor. Whether you're preparing a Friday family couscous, steaming seasonal vegetables, or cooking seafood, this 10L / 26cm pot delivers restaurant-quality results at home.

Built to last a lifetime and designed for authenticity, this is not just cookware — it's a culinary heritage piece.

Key Benefits

  • Authentic Two-Tier Steam System — The perforated upper steamer basket allows couscous to absorb steam from the simmering broth below, replicating the traditional Moroccan method for perfectly fluffy, flavor-infused grains every time.
  • Premium Food-Grade Stainless Steel — Crafted from high-quality, rust-resistant stainless steel that won't leach chemicals, alter flavors, or degrade over time — even with daily use.
  • Generous 10L / 26cm Capacity — Ideal for families of 4–8 and large gatherings. Cook a full couscous meal with vegetables and broth simultaneously in one pot.
  • Healthy Steam Cooking — Steaming preserves up to 50% more vitamins and minerals compared to boiling, making this the healthiest way to cook vegetables, fish, and grains.
  • Multi-Use Versatility — Beyond couscous, use it as a vegetable steamer, seafood pot, tamale cooker, or large stock pot. One investment, endless applications.
  • Tempered Glass Lid — Monitor your cooking without releasing steam, maintaining consistent temperature and reducing cook time.
  • Ergonomic Dual Handles — Heat-resistant, riveted handles on both tiers for safe, confident handling even when the pot is full and heavy.
  • Compatible with All Cooktops — Works on gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.
  • Easy to Clean — Smooth stainless steel interior resists staining and food residue.

How It Works: The Traditional Two-Tier Steam Method

The Al Mohajer Couscoussier operates on a time-honored principle: steam rising from simmering broth or water in the lower pot passes through the perforated base of the upper steamer, gently cooking couscous, vegetables, or other ingredients above. This method — used in Moroccan households for generations — produces results that no microwave, rice cooker, or standard pot can replicate.

The result? Couscous grains that are light, separate, and deeply flavored. Vegetables that are tender yet vibrant. Seafood that is moist and perfectly cooked.

Ideal Use Cases

  • Traditional Moroccan Couscous — The definitive Friday meal, prepared the right way.
  • Steamed Vegetables — Carrots, zucchini, turnips, cabbage, and chickpeas cooked to perfection alongside your broth.
  • Seafood Steaming — Shrimp, fish fillets, and shellfish cooked gently without losing moisture or flavor.
  • Mediterranean & Middle Eastern Dishes — Suitable for a wide range of regional cuisines that rely on steam cooking.
  • Large-Batch Meal Prep — The 10L capacity makes it ideal for batch cooking, entertaining, or catering.

More Than a Pot

In Moroccan culture, couscous is not just a dish — it's a ritual. It's the smell that fills the house on Friday mornings. It's the gathering of family around a shared plate. It's the patience of steaming, the care of layering, the pride of serving something made with tradition. The Al Mohajer Couscoussier honors that ritual. It's the pot your grandmother would recognize, built with the quality your kitchen deserves.

Care Instructions

  • Hand wash recommended for the glass lid; pot body is dishwasher-safe.
  • Dry thoroughly after washing to maintain the brushed stainless finish.
  • Avoid steel wool or abrasive cleaners — use a soft sponge with mild dish soap.
  • For stubborn residue, soak in warm soapy water for 15–20 minutes before cleaning.
  • Always ensure liquid is present in the lower pot before heating.
  • With proper care, this couscoussier will last 10–20+ years.
