Frequently Asked Questions

What type of cooking are Tandoor Ovens specifically designed for?

Tandoor Ovens are clay-lined cylindrical ovens that cook using intense radiant heat, originally designed for Indian breads like naan and tandoori proteins like chicken and lamb. The high-heat clay environment produces results no conventional oven can replicate.

Should I choose a gas or charcoal Tandoor Oven for a commercial kitchen?

Gas Tandoor Ovens are easier to manage in a commercial setting, with faster temperature control and no charcoal handling. Charcoal models produce a slightly more traditional flavor but require more time and effort to manage during service.

How long do Tandoor Ovens take to preheat before service?

Most Tandoor Ovens require 45 minutes to an hour to reach cooking temperature of 700 to 900 degrees Fahrenheit. Build preheating time into your opening prep to be ready for service.

What size Tandoor Oven is right for a restaurant doing moderate Indian cuisine volume?

A medium-capacity Tandoor Oven with a 20- to 24-inch diameter opening handles the bread and protein volume for most mid-size Indian restaurants. Larger diameter models are worth considering for higher-volume operations.

Can Tandoor Ovens handle the cooking demands of a full restaurant service?

Yes. Commercial Tandoor Ovens are designed for continuous restaurant use and hold temperature well once up to heat. An experienced tandoor cook can produce naan and meats continuously through a full service.

Are Tandoor Ovens only suitable for Indian restaurants, or can other concepts use them?

Any restaurant that wants to feature authentic high-heat clay-oven cooking can benefit. Middle Eastern, Persian, and fusion concepts use Tandoor Ovens for flatbreads and grilled proteins to great effect.

Do Tandoor Ovens require special ventilation or installation considerations?

Yes. The extreme heat output of a Tandoor Oven requires a properly rated commercial hood and adequate ventilation clearance. Confirm your ventilation system is designed to handle the heat before installation.
