Tandoor Ovens

Pasta Cookers

ommercial tandoor ovens are clay ovens that are specifically

built to cook classic Indian and Pakistani dishes such as naan

bread, tandoori chicken, kebabs, and other tandoori cuisine. A thick

clay drum is wrapped in a stainless steel outer shell to insulate the

drum and ensure durability. The clay interior reaches exceptionally

high temperatures, generally around 900°F (480°C), when heated with a

natural gas or propane burner.

asta Cooker resemble a deep fryer but have significant

differences in their operation. With a lower thermostat

calibration, pasta cookers are large water baths meant to

rethermalize pasta for service. If your menu is pasta-heavy,

this piece of equipment is vital to making your kitchen work

effectively.

Not all pasta cookers are created equal either. There are

smaller countertop models that can assist in making pasta

and there are larger floor models such as the Imperial IPC-14

option. The larger units often have more robust features such

as a water wash system to help remove the starch from the

surface of the water and reduces foaming during operation.
