How to choose
A tandoor is a clay-lined cylinder with charcoal in the base, running at 400°C or higher. Naan is slapped directly onto the inside wall and cooks in a minute; marinated meat goes on long vertical skewers so it cooks in radiant heat while the drippings hit the coals.
It is a specialist purchase with a real learning curve, and the clay needs seasoning and protecting from frost. For anyone who cooks a lot of Indian food it does something no other cooker does.
