- A Tandoor Oven is a
traditional Indian earthenware cooking pot made from clay
- It is cylindrical in
shape and uses Firewood or Charcoal for fuel
- It reaches
temperatures in excess of 400 C
How does the
Tandoor Oven work?
Cooking in a
Tandoor Oven is similar to using a BBQ. However, there are some fundamental key
differences that make Tandoor cooked food taste very different indeed:
- The combination of
spices, high temperature (400C), metal skewers and Clay give the food a unique
flavour. One that cannot be replicated by using a conventional grill,
household oven or BBQ
- Food cooked in a
Tandoor is cooked from both the outside, from the heat of the Clay pot,
and, more importantly, from the inside via the radiant heat of the metal
skewers
- The extreme
temperatures of our Tandoor Oven, and the fact it is cooked from the
inside at the same time, means food is ready much quicker than other
methods of cooking. Meat is typically ready in less than half the time of
other cooking methods
Benefits of
Tandoor Cooking:
- Unique tasting food
- Oil free cooking
- Meat is sealed very
quickly ensuring all the flavour is locked in
- Radiant heat transfer
ensures no Vitamins or Minerals are lost during the cooking process
- Chicken, Meat and
Vegetable Kebabs ready in around 12-minutes
- Whole Chicken in
around 30-minutes
- Whole leg of Lamb
ready in under 1-hour
- Practically zero
