Equipment
Screw press
A screw press advances prepared material through a cage, squeezing out oil while solid press cake leaves separately.
Equipment
Tanjia jar
A purpose-made terracotta vessel, also called tangia or kallouch, for Marrakech’s slow-cooked tanjia. Potters make it mainly in Marrakech; a fernatchi cooks the closed jar among managed furnace embers.
Equipment
Smen maturation jar and skin container
A ceramic Ezzir jar holds salted butter during smen maturation in Algeria; a goatskin Chekoua is documented for churning the sour milk beforehand. Sources also report animal-skin containers, but do not establish a single shared form.

A two-part steamer for couscous: a perforated upper chamber sits over a lower pot that produces steam. Clay, basketry and metal forms are documented in different places and periods.
Equipment
Khlii storage pot
Khlii storage vessels hold prepared meat beneath rendered fat or oil. Traditional terracotta jars and present-day plastic tubs are both recorded forms in Morocco.
