Choosing a tandoor for use at the dacha is an important step that lovers of national dishes have to take.
How to choose a tandoor and not make a mistake – you will learn from this article.
This parameter affects the functionality of the device: jug-shaped and barrel-shaped tandoors are suitable for cooking meat dishes, while bell-shaped and spherical ones are suitable for cooking soups and baking flatbreads.
Models weighing from 50 to 80 kilograms are quite mobile, which allows them to be used, for example, during a picnic in nature. At the same time, tandoors weighing from 50 to 100 kilograms require installation on a stable and level surface - you can’t put them in the trunk of a car.
When choosing a tandoor, you should pay attention to the thickness of its walls: the optimal thickness is considered to be 5 centimeters. At the same time, the diameter of the neck should be at least 30 centimeters, and the height of the body - 80-100 centimeters.
It is recommended to choose models with a hinged lid - this will make it easier for you to load products inside. If the lid is removable, you will need a special stand.
It is also worth asking the seller about the set of accessories that come with the tandoor: usually it includes a poker, a scoop, skewers, grates, a stand, and a cover.
