UB any news on the cooking front yet? Has the design lived up to its promise?
The news is that this cheap construction build is better then i ever thought was possible Ive done naan and tikka both with amazement on how well they come out, cant tell you how many things Ive tryd to get a hob cooked naan like the take away, acceptable but now i see there where way off, this garden tandoor makes naan and tikka cooking very simple once hot! and it gets very hot Ive stoke it till about 370 degrees [have taken it to 450] and feel no need to go any hotter as foods just burns at that!! and is uncomfortable to use that heat.
using a very simple naan recipe, the best naans Ive made [see pics], naan dough is placed on a couple of t.towels wrapped into a pillow and pressed into the liner very quickly with a glove worn as not to lose to many hairs!! the naans are irresistible just alone with a glass of red and cook in about 60 seconds, its all down the heat in the liner and the tandoor oven.
Tikka fantastic also with the odd drip of marinade hitting the coals a filling the air with smells that make your mouth water, pulling the meat off the skewers with hissing and steam as the skewer its self is red hot these cook within 3 to 4 Min's and can hang about 8 rods of meat at a time!! will get some tikka pics up soon.
P.S No Cracks or Explosions
ready to go with t.towel
