How to use a wood-fired tandoor?
A wood-fired tandoor is a traditional way to cook meat, fish, vegetables, bread, and many other dishes. The natural fire and even heat distribution create rich flavors, delicious aromas, and a perfectly golden crust.Follow the steps below to use your wood-fired tandoor safely and effectively.
Place the tandoor on a flat, stable surface at a safe distance from buildings, trees, and flammable materials.
Place dry firewood and fire-starting material inside the tandoor. Light the fire and let it burn steadily. After approximately 30–40 minutes, when the fire has settled and the walls of the tandoor are well heated, the tandoor will be ready for use.
While the tandoor is heating, prepare your ingredients. You can cook meat, fish, vegetables, bread, and many other foods. Marinate the ingredients beforehand if required by your recipe.
Arrange the food on skewers or cooking racks and carefully place them inside the tandoor. Close the lid before cooking.
Cook the food according to the recommended cooking time for each ingredient. Check the cooking progress periodically and turn the food if necessary to ensure even cooking.
Once the food is ready, carefully open the lid and use heat-resistant gloves to safely remove the skewers or racks with the cooked food.
Allow the tandoor to cool down naturally. Never leave a hot tandoor unattended.
After the tandoor has completely cooled, remove the ash and charcoal residue. Wipe the interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and store the tandoor in a clean, dry place.
