Silver in prongs and cooking pots (7)

I believe the answer is:

tagines

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cooking pots' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'silver in prongs' is the wordplay.
'silver' becomes 'Ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'prongs' becomes 'tines' (tine is a kind of prong).
'ag' placed within 'tines' is 'TAGINES'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for tagines that I've seen is " stews".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
