Cooking With Tandoori Ovens
Also known as a Tandoor, the tandoori oven is a cylindrical oven typically made from either metal or clay and used for cooking and baking in southern, central, and western Asia. Traditionally, the heat was generated from a charcoal or wood fire burning from within the pot itself, which exposes food to many different forms of cooking at the same time, including:
- Live fire cooking,
- Radiant heat cooking,
- Hot-air convection cooking,
- Smoking.
The combination of cooking styles found in the tandoori
means that it’s a smoker, barbecue, griddle, and convection oven all at the same time; allowing for a wide range of flavours to be created in this ingenious centuries-old design, in a relatively short amount of time.
Typically speaking, the temperature in a tandoori oven can reach as high at 480c, a significantly high temperature, allowing for the preparation of a wide range of different dishes, such as the delicious Tandoori Chicken, a roast chicken delicacy from the Punjab region of India. Another popular dish cooked in a tandoor is the Samosa, which is a fried or baked pastry in a tetrahedral shape, filled with a diverse assortment of fillings, such as spiced potatoes, ground chicken, lentils, or ground lamb.
The Modern Iteration
Whilst traditional tandoors operate using wood or charcoal, the modern iteration of tandoori ovens operate on gas or electricity. They’re often also made from stainless steel and ceramic. This means that the exterior oven doesn’t get too hot as they are better insulated, making for a much more comfortable working environment for your chefs and other kitchen staff, additionally they are much easier to maintain and they are much more economical with their use of fuel, meaning you can spend less money on fuel, a cost-saving which you can then transfer onto your customers, providing them with tasty food at an even cheaper price.
Our range of tandoori ovens includes both small and jumbo large models, meaning there’s something for every Asian restaurant, no matter how big or small your establishment. We stock tandoori skewers and oven plates in a range of sizes, enabling you to cook a diverse range of dishes in traditional styles.
Pair Your Tandoori Oven With Authentic Indian Tableware
All of our Indian serving dishes are hammered by hand to create a gorgeous and authentic finish that your guests will love. Additionally, they are all offered at an exceptional price considering the quality of the materials and the craftsmanship, providing you with great value for money. With a choice of plain hammered steel, and copper plated and brass plated designs, you’ll be able to choose the design that best suits your establishment. However, these materials don’t just look great as part of a table setting, it is also quick and easy to clean once the meal has finished.
If you’re searching for an eye-catching set of Indian dishes, we recommend our copper or brass-plated serving dishes. The contrast between the steel on the interior and lip of the dish creates a truly eye-catching experience as the warm-toned exterior covering of copper or brass contrasts with the cool-toned plain steel.
