In Northern Africa the word couscous is also used for a dish of stewed
meats and vegetables that is served with pastas. So couscous pot is also
used to cook meat and vegetables as well.
Couscoussier is made of two tired rounded pots that
separate the ingredients. It consists of two parts :
- The lower pot is a cooking pot, usually round
on the sides. The top pot has holes in its bottom that admit steam
from the lower pot. The couscous is cooked in the top pot.
- The upper part is a second pot with a lid that
fits snugly on top of the bottom pot. The stew is cooked in the
lower pot.
