Heat Freeze Equipment

A Tandoor Bhatti (or simply Tandoor) is a traditional clay oven used primarily in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian cuisines for baking bread (like naan), roasting meats, and cooking various dishes at high temperatures. The word "bhatti" refers to an oven or furnace in Hindi, while "tandoor" comes from the Persian word for clay oven.

Key Features of a Tandoor Bhatti:

1. Traditional Clay Construction:

   • The traditional tandoor is made of clay and often lined with insulating materials such as charcoal or bricks to retain heat.

   • Modern versions may be made of stainless steel or ceramic with insulated walls to improve heat retention and cooking efficiency.

2. High Temperature Cooking:

   • Tandoors can reach temperatures ranging from 450°F to 900°F (230°C to 480°C), making them ideal for quick, high-heat cooking.

   • The high heat cooks food quickly, producing a unique flavor and texture.

3. Vertical Shape:

   • Tandoors are typically cylindrical or round-shaped with a wide opening at the top, often fitted with a lid to regulate temperature.

   • The food is either inserted on skewers (like kebabs) or pressed against the inner walls of the tandoor to cook.

4. Fuel Source:

   • Traditionally fueled by charcoal or wood, although modern tandoors may use gas for ease of operation.

   • The choice of fuel significantly impacts the flavor, with charcoal providing a distinct smoky taste.

5. Cooking Method:

   • Tandoori cooking involves placing food inside the oven for roasting, grilling, or baking.

   • Naan and roti are usually pinned to the inside walls of the tandoor, while kebabs and marinated meats are placed on skewers and lowered into the tandoor.

6. Portability & Design:

   • Traditional tandoors are often built into the ground or set on a platform.

   • Modern tandoor bhattis can be standalone units, portable, or built-in with adjustable vents, temperature controls, and safety features.

7. Hygiene and Maintenance:

   • A cleaning rod or scraper is typically used to remove excess food residue from the inside walls.

   • Charcoal or wood ashes should be periodically cleaned to maintain airflow.
