Live in an apartment, condominium, or townhouse without even a terrace and have no chance to get an outdoor grill? Your backyard or garden is too small to install one of those full-sized grilling sets? Think you have no opportunity to taste delicious homemade BBQ foods and tandoori dishes? We will prove you wrong. A mini tandoor oven from Joycook will let you barbecue foods indoors and achieve the same smoked flavor and crispy crust as if you were grilling on the open air.

The item somewhat resembles a steamer or a deep frying pan. Yet, it’s a multicomponent device consisting of a cover lid with a glass insert, two baking pans (for cakes and roasts respectively), and a bottom tray. The whole construction simply stacks like a pyramid and should be put on a gas stovetop or gas burner. You just need to pour some water to the bottom tray, set one of the baking pans on top of it, place foods to be cooked, and cover the pan with a lid.

This model uses convection cooking method circulating heat from the bottom to the top and to the center. A steel bottom tray and baking pans made of anodized aluminum heat up very quickly and ensure efficient heat transfer, thus maintaining consistently high cooking temperature. It means that hot air will constantly circulate around the food evenly cooking it both from the outside and from the inside. Meanwhile, a non-stick coating on the pans, which directly contacts foods, will prevent scorching and allow grilling appetizing roasts oil-free. More than that, excess fat will drip through the holes into the bottom tray while all the natural juices and tastes will be sealed inside. This way, you can not only roast and grill meats, poultry, fish, and vegetables but also bake cakes, muffins, and other pastries.

Speaking of convenience and ease of use, the device boasts a compact and pretty lightweight design that makes it portable and easy to handle. So, you can use this mini grill and tandoor oven both indoors and outdoors and even take it with you when camping or tailgating if you have a gas burner. Thanks to removable sections, cleaning the tandoor is a breeze and no specific maintenance is required.

The Joycook is a great choice for those who have no place for an outdoor tandoor or simply don’t want to buy a full-scale unit, yet, still want to be able to taste freshly barbecued foods at home.

Once you taste tandoori dishes, be it succulent and crispy chicken or grilled veggies with a smoky savor, you will hardly be ready to come back to ordinary roasts and will be eager to reproduce those recipes at home. Yet, chances that you’ll achieve tandoor results in a microwave or oven are very low, not to say almost none. So, does it mean you have to either get a tandoor oven or give up trying to cook tandoori meals at home? Not at all. You just need the right equipment, something like a gas stovetop tandoor from Anmol collection.

However, though there is no outward similarity, this device uses the same cooking principle, ensuring authentic tandoor cooking results. And there is no need to maintain ember smoldering. Just place the cookware on the gas stovetop, let it heat for 3-5 minutes, and you are good to go. Made of aluminum, the device quickly transfers the heat and maintains a consistent cooking temperature. Meanwhile, ventilation holes on the bottom ensure efficient air circulation for more even cooking and appetizing results.

Just heat up the tandoor thoroughly and stick your rotis or naans to the lid.
