Tandoor Ovens

Tandoor ovens are cylindrical clay or metal ovens used traditionally in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian cooking. They are designed to reach extremely high temperatures, often exceeding 900° Fahrenheit, allowing for fast, even cooking with a distinctive char and smoky flavor. In commercial kitchens, tandoors are commonly used to bake naan, roast meats like tandoori chicken, and cook skewered kebabs directly over the hot coals or gas flame inside the oven.

There are several types of tandoor ovens available for restaurant use, including clay-lined models for traditional flavor profiles and stainless steel tandoors for added durability and hygiene. Fuel options include charcoal, natural gas, and propane, each offering a different level of convenience and heat control. Some modern tandoors also come with temperature gauges and insulation for safer and more efficient operation in commercial kitchens.

Tandoor ovens are valued not only for their high-heat cooking capabilities but also for the unique textures and flavors they impart to food. When selecting a tandoor for your kitchen, consider the volume of dishes you plan to prepare, the available fuel source, and whether you need a countertop or floor-standing model.
