Hi People

If u hunt the antiques or car boot markets you can find the old half sized milk kegs used years ago in farms to collect & distribute milk

They are made from heavy aluminium and taper pretty much into the same funnel shape as this tandoor

Just cut the bottom off with an angle grinder and hey presto.


Price? Around 25 quid!

Hi there,

You wished! Its all in the whole shape of the Nipoori oven when combined with the bottom barbecue unit. It produces a uniform temperature of 400?C plus inside which cooks food evenly at both top and bottom of the skewer.  Very little heat actually appears to come out of the top as it is recirculated back down by the vortex that the shape creates. Strangely if you put a lid on top the temperature inside actually drops as the heat stops to circulate. This same process I doubt would happen with your suggestion unfortunately. But worth a try.

Hi Coogan,

Many thanks for your tikka and tandoori recipes. 

So so they don't get lost in time, it probably would be better to post them here http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?board=74.0.  Just click on the 'New Topic' option, give your thread a title such as 'Coogans Tandoori marinade' and post your recipe.

If you need a hand, give us a nudge,

All the very best,

Yes indeed, it would be great to read up on your recipes.

Hi Coogan

Have you ever tried cooking Naan in this? I always assumed you needed a terracotta type surface to stick them to.

Thanks
Chris

It looks like they are based out of Malasia now. I wonder if the inventor sold the patent or just moved production out there. If they are good and they cook Naans I'll probably get one.

I emailed the sales@ email address and asked if they wanted to come on here and discuss it with us.

Hi chris,

I have been cooking with my Nipoori oven at least once a month, all year round, inside and out, for the last five years  ? there's not a lot I don't now about it!  Crunch question. Can you cook Naan in it? Yes, I have. But I do not think it was particularly designed for this purpose, your naan size is governed by the size of the top opening and its tricky to get your hand safely in and out with the dough especially considering the 400 C in there. I can manage it but there's not much hair left on my hand. Inside the oven there are two protruding screw ends that hold the handles on, I find that if I slap the dough on them it helps the sticking process ? not that I think they were put there with that purpose in mind. I have also found out that if you put a Tava or Karhai on top of the oven the heat inside the tandoor drops and the full blast heats your pan ideally for chapatis and parathas etc or I have found that you can cook sauces or side dishes in the same way up on top. All in all its the best bit of kit I have ever purchased by far.

Hasn't anyone else got one out there!

Any more  questions about the oven? I will do my best to answer.
