How to make a DIY Tandoor oven with Flower Pots

- Mark Two Tandoor after my original Flower Pot Tandoor • Making a Tandoor Oven ... . This one is bigger and better than the original and cooks meat perfectly. Can honestly say that I have not burnt any meat, thou the first Naan's were over cooked. I now appreciate how quick they cook :-). Also did not fit the metal grid I mention in the video, as the air flow is excellent. And yes I know I keep saying Tandoori in the video - sorry. Any questions fire away, and I will answer them. One question to do you - what is stopping you making this?
Fantastic! My husband is making one of these this weekend. (He doesn't know it yet!)
So did he make one?
@Maria Dowler haha
SimpleNick - Nick Collins where did you buy all the stuff from plz
Funny he said the same about you and bum stuff
😂😂😂
As an indian ex restaurateur I have to say this is brilliant.
There are load of comments here to say to sprinkle water inside the clay, however I used to see my head chef priming the clay with yoghurt, which allows the naan to peel off without sticking.
10/10.
Thanks for sharing that, and I had someone else mention that to me as well. Thanks
Ruhul Choudory hi Ruhul can you advise how they did this and was it regularly when the oven was cold?
@@MxTim405
You have to prime or “seal” the clay with the yogurt. (You can use oil as well).
Apply a thin layer of yogurt or oil to the inside of the tandoor, covering the clay surface. Light the tandoor, keep the heat about medium. Let it burn for a while, till you get a nice “sheen” to the clay surface. You can then use the tandoori for naans.
This method should last a long while, but you may have to repeat it every once in a as while, if you have problems removing the naans.
@@theoriginalshakil8013 thanks a lot! I will build my new tandoor when the garden is finished
Hi Nick, just a suggestion. It wont get burnt as much, If the side of the naan bread which is going to stick with tandoor is wet. hope you it will work for you.
Muhammad Din Thanks Muhammad, I picked that tip up from someone else, and as you say it does the trick. Thanks for sharing on the video so other people benefit.
My mom used a wet rag to wipe the surface before placing the naan in. That helped removing the coal residue and cool the back off a bit. She also used a small pillow looking medium to even out the dough before smacking it inside the oven.. its like using the wood stick to drop the pizza in an oven
Thanks for sharing, much appreciated
Wow, that’s pretty spectacular! I’ve had my first Indian food today and have been scratching my head trying to figure out how I could recreate a little bit of the great food I had. Thanks for sharing!
Hi before putting the bread in you should rub a wet cloth inside the oven to cool down little bit the temperature of the oven then your bread will not burn from the back side it will be golden brown .
Yes thanks for mentioning that and sharing with everyone. This video was the first time I tried cooking a naan, so I soon learnt from my mistakes. As you say every time I cook bread I wipe down the inside of the oven. I should also point out that if I leave the lid on, the sides can get a bit sooty from the smoke, so another reason to wipe down with a wet cloth to clean first. Once again thanks for sharing.
Awesome idea! How do you clean the ash out, presume just scoop it out by hand?
Hi, check this out - ruclips.net/video/ewac7d4u2uU/видео.html for cleaning the oven
put potato on the end of the skewer you can stand them in the coals then
No desi could have done it better ... Simple, functional and awesome ... thanks for the ideas.
Rehan Riaz not true plenty of desis will do plenty better but not bad for a gora guy.. I liked his enthusiasm about the whole thing
Rehab u r the only dumb desi here
Ok gentlemen, excuse my ignorance...the fuck is a desi or gora?
desi means the "local guys" and gora means the "white man"....so don't worry they are not using anything filthy or abusive...
I wonder how many Desi people eat their Naans like that 😂😂
I just made one with 200 Lt drum and large flower pot
Mine I can use as a tandoor or grill oh and also I can use coal or gas or both
Hi Nick.This is the best video that I have seen on making a tandoor at home.This gave me what I exactly wanted.Excellent,Excellent and Excellent are the three words that I would like to use to describe this video. I am very happy and releaved to have finally found what I wanted.I will now embark on building this.
Thanks for the feedback Azhar, really appreciate it, and good luck with your build.
Hi Ehsan, for some reason can't reply to your question, so answering here. I personally haven't used sand, but other people have with success. Checkout James Tandoor on my blog www.simplenick.com/blog . Buy someone on my how long does it take to cook meat video posted that they used sand and it cracked the outside pot. Can you get hold of perlite, or lava rock, or crushed pumice?
SimpleNick - Nick Collins Hi Nick, Thank you for your reply. So I looked and getting perlite, lava rock, etc... is a little challenging where I am. I did look at James' Tandoor and it seems like he was able to use sand with no problem. The MSDS label says that it's not flammable so hopefully it will be safe to use. A couple of questions came up as I was doing my research: (1) When filling the exterior pot with vermiculite, does this not leak out from the bottom since the exterior pot also has holes at the bottom? (2) In this video: watch?v=dfHKmt10JZY the guy used a galvanized steel trash can. What are your thoughts on this please?
Many thanks :)
Ehsan may be able to find kiln bricks / fire bricks (a.k.a., refractories). We discovered these when building wood fired saunas in South Asia. They can be hammered down to the size needed. (Wear goggles.)
That's a good effort but they look burnt from the back and under cooked from the front , have you managed to figure out the right temp?
Yes the first go at nans were burnt, but I now have a lot more success by cooling the wall down by spraying water on it.
Necessity is the mother of inventions.
Thanks for the great video. My husband made one a few weeks back and it's fantastic! We did put a grill in under the coals (cut from an old cake stand). All we need now is more decent weather!
Yes what is it with the weather at the moment, I haven't used mine for a couple of weeks and I am getting stir crazy.
Where you get your pots from b&q if you wet the bread it won't burn
I got the pots from a local garden centre. Yes I always wet the bread now as well as the side walls, it was Cleary too hot when I cooked my first nans
Hi Nick, thanks for your videos - great stuff! Have watched them all and got some nice ideas. Followed your example - got some pots and built a tandoori on Saturday and it works great! Did some lamb kofta kebabs and they cooked really nicely - tasted fantastic. Will be making some naan breads next - hopefully today!! Thanks mate - great stuff!! Terry, from Brisbane, Australia
Thanks for the feedback Terry, and I am glad your build went well. Nick
I guess you did well for a white guy.
Many thanks for sharing Nick! I made one based on your design and am absolutely loving it. I had to make a couple tweaks to get temperatures up well above 900F. Raising the coals up from the bottom by a couple inches so they don't choke up the air intake did the trick. I used a charcoal grate to do that. Getting close to 1000F now.
The kebabs have been incredible. Now gotta learn making a good naan!
Thanks again!
Thanks for the feedback and the tip on using a grate. My naan's have greatly improved. In this video this was the first time I tried to cook a naan, and I had learnt about mu oven yet. I could have done a few test runs first, but I like to share my mistakes with viewers.
@@SimpleNickVideos Sorry, my comment was about my own naan fiasco.
My first attempt was rather weak - turned out more like Pita bread than naan. The second attempt with a slightly different dough prep was a drastic improvement - almost restaurant like. That's one great thing with the tandoor - it's been a lot of fun experimenting and learning. Within about 3 uses, my food is close to that of my favorite restaurants which is immensely satisfying. Thanks again for sharing your design.
Genius mate 👏👏👏👌👍🙏 thank you very much for sharing your brilliant idea.. Coming from someone who loves nan & tandoori one of the main reasons why I miss home so much😂🙏🍻cheers mate
Thanks
very good idea and simple, functional. i really thank you for your reply.
Hi: thanks for sharing/ showing this. It is beautiful in its simplicity and portability, that probably harkens back to its origins in Central Asia. Only question I have is about collection and removal of ashes from the bottom. I seem to have noticed some holes in the largest (outer) pot. Do you have some sort of “ash/ dust pan” below the oven? Thanks
Have you tried roasting a duck with that thing? I'm curious how that will turn out. Nice oven.
No I haven't, but that is a good idea, and I think I might try that. If I do I will post a video and let you know.
Brilliant revision to your first design Nick! The extra ventilation in the bottom will really help the cooking; I found it essential in mine; although I put a much bigger single hole in to aid cleaning the ash out. The breads look fantastic by the way!
Revision 2 to mine is on hold for a while as I'm too busy working on the inside of our new house at the moment. the insulated top seems like a must though; especially if bread is on the menu!
My only suggestions would be to add gravel to the top for a bit of decoration and to weigh the vermiculite down to keep it from blowing out, and to invest in a weber BBQ starter if you are ever having difficulty lighting a fire in the tandoor (as it can be tricky)
I accidentally bought house coals for mine which burn hotter than anything I've used before; but are completely useless in a regular BBQ - they only work in the Tandoor.
Great work Nick, you're doing it right!
Hi Rick, thanks for the feedback. I was going to put some slate chipping onto so it matched some other pots I have. As for the BBQ starter, no need as it lights really easy. I put some lighter fuel onto, drop a match and then walk away. The air flow is so good I have to put the lid on to slow it down. I have another video which I will upload later that shows how easy it is to light. The other thing, the base pot is a lot wider at the bottom, and the outer pot has three large holes, so I am guessing that is why it works so well.
Functional and looks great, too! How do you clean out the ash?
so cool. gonna build one
Am very impressed with the way you can make with flower pots thank you giving me the idea I always wanted to do the same thing but didn't know how to start thanks a lot 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Shameem, and I hope you get around to building one yourself, you won't regret it.
SimpleNick - Nick Collins thank you
I am going to make one myself one day. Thank you very much for this!
This man is a genius! Thank you. Brilliant idea.
Wow! Such a brilliant idea. You are a genius!
Perfect😊😊
Wow I will make it for sure
Thank you for the brilliant idea
You star you just saved me £250!!! Thanks
Thanks Andrew
EXCELLENT thank you 🙏
I’m Hindustani and I’m learning from an Aussie Scott’s Irish British guy
Happy smiles🙂😊☺️😀
How do you empty the ashes after cooking
The ash falls out of the bottom, I have another video where I show cleaning out of the ash
Hello, how to remove burned coals ashes from it ? Thank you
You can use a vacuum cleaner or a garden hose to water it down after it has cooled completely.
What size (max diameter) × height of clay pots did you use?
Muy bien
Very nice
Hi Nick, i was so impressed with your video i decided to make one. i had trouble actually getting the coals to burn, eventually i got it going... the heat is amazing... i cooked sausages to start with and the lamb chops and tried naan bread... i love a good diy project...
Cool, thanks for the feedback Juanita, and I am glad you are enjoying cooking with your oven.
Thank u
Good effort, but check out real Pakistani Tandoor cooking, how it's done there. 👍🏻😀🇵🇰❤🇹🇷
Hello again Nick, did you refine the nan cooking process? Btw, am making this in Hong Kong Cheers
Some funny ppl import them from Afghanistan with naughty powders in the space for ventilation :)
I don't think anyone is going to like eating charred Nan or burnt vegetables. The design needs some serious modification. All the best.
Hope it’s not Libby, Montana USA vermiculite
Good idea but how do you clean it up? Only by dismantling it. You should have made an opening to clean and air it, so fire doesn't get suffocated. Nice video anyway.
Good information
How do you clean out the coals? Or do you not really need to? Cheers!
wow
How to confirm if the pot is surface is not coated with something which is not safe to consume?
Thats very cute tandoor the temperature should not be more than 250C. And spray some water to avoid the burn. Anyway nice try.
Check that the clay isn't giving off poisonous fumes and gases or you will kill your guests
Thanks 🙏 very good 😊
Thanks Bharat, I appreciate the feedback
Nice
Good morning 🌹🙏
Cooking a Nan in a tandoor is not as easy as shown in your video. It needs a lot of skills and experience for doing this. I bet you westerners would never be able to develop such skills in this existing life of yours. For that you have to have reborn as a Punjabi 😆😆😆😆
Impressive, quick tip would be brushing ghee or butter onto the naans topside so it heats up and has color
Fabtastic idea but bread will be too super if u put a layer of red mud or normal mud on the inner surface of tandoor ....thx for sharing
Hahaha you guys rules india for how many years? And still can’t make a proper naan
Firs times used the oven allows Will burning the bread and will be butte and moor easy
Don’t use lighter fuel, use a bit of dry wood to get some coals going and add them to the rest of the coals, none of that black smoke
Hello
What product is used as insulation?
Thank you
This is the best thing I’ve seen all day!!
cannot seem to find a big enough pot for this in the local hardware or garden stores in US. anyone has found and used a pot larger than the std 22"?
Hello Sir what is the packing around the pot thanks.
Hi Nick, this is a brilliant idea. I'm currently researching brick pizza ovens and that morphed into clay pot pizza ovens because I want to make naan breads as well, and that is how I ended up at this video. It's been 25 years since I made a tandoor out of an old metal garbage can and some clay I dug out of the back garden. That tandoor lasted 20 years. I look forward to my next experiment and this video has provided me with inspiration. Just one question... did you have to pre-fire the tandoor before hitting those temperatures or was it all ready to go?
Hi Roy, thanks for the feedback. To be honest I went straight in and started cooking, but lots of people recommend pre heating first, and using a rub on the walls
Wtf are those naans 😂😂😂 what a waste man. 😭😭😭😭😂
Oh dear no. U r supposed to swoosh a wet cloth inside of the tandoor so it's clean and naan doesn't burn or stuck too hard to the walls. Other than that, what a great idea!
Lol the tandoor is far to hot .burnt the naan lol
I want to make it. Where could I find the big flower pot?
BRILLIANT.👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Gagandeep
This looks fantastic! Does it need to be dismantled when you get ash from the fire? How would one do that?
What size are the pots? Even those clay pots are $35!
I think this pot is good for tikka or tandoori chicken but not good for tandoori roti and naan
Does it matter what kind of pot to use? I.e. any type to avoid?
Good design, but the only worry is how to remove the ash.
Ha ha ha ,Direct , 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
When the side walls are not black anymore its up to heat as soot is burned off. Will also make sure you're not getting all that on your naan. Also if you make a little lowering basket with hooks you can dangle food in centre of tandoor which helps with cooking.
Excellent tips and thanks for sharing
very good idea
Thanks
Such a simple idea to a complicated thing, really. Well done!
Fantastic job! I'll be making one, Thank you for sharing with us 👍👍
Hi its very nice where we can you stuff from .plese let no
Bloody hell that is clever. Great vid and success. Cheers Moose from Oz.
Thanks for sharing, one question how do you get access to remove the ash?
All the best
Yes how Nick ? Thanks
Sorry guys missed this - checkout this video I made previously which hopefully answer your question - ruclips.net/video/ewac7d4u2uU/видео.html
Very good idea but you should clean it a little bit with a cloth before putting the breads.
Thank you for sharing the video.
Yes you are right and that is what i do now. Thanks
Can you use earth rather than vermiculite? Thanks
Dont forget to put some butter garlic on your naans.
I just had a look at your vid collection, looks good so i will sub now. Cheers. Moose.
+mounty27 Thanks for the feedback Moose, really appreciate it.
Vermiculite is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS to breath in. So be EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS when pouring or handling vermiculite. Wear hazard mask over your nose and mouth for safety.
Nathan Wilson the chances of breathing in vermiculite dust is slim if using coarse vermiculite.
Much worse breathing perlite dust
that is not hot 2 make nan u have 2 wait more until the tandoor look not dark
Doesn't vermiculite contain asbestos?
What is the diameter of the large outside pot please
wow ...m going to made same like this 1 ...thanx a lot for such a nice video .....good job...
Thanks Rupinder, and good luck with your build
Great vid, thanks. Just wondering how you clean out the charcoal remains?
Check this video out for cleaning the tandoor - ruclips.net/video/ewac7d4u2uU/видео.html
Wat material was used for insulation ❓❓❓
you shoud spray solt water where you put nan before putting nan only one time
Thanks for the tip
What's the insulation called again? Ta
Can I use permasand instead of rocks?
How do. You get all the burnt coal and ash out m8
Beautiful idea! Thanks for sharing. Just one question please where can I get insulator stuff ? Thanks
It is vermiculite and I got mine from Travis Perkins in the UK
Has anyone watched the tv show Friday night dinner?
This guy sounds almost exactly like Paul Ritter’s character Martin. Who is rather eccentric.
I love it!
I love this video.
Thumbs up!
Love Friday Night Dinner - never been told like I sounded Martin 😀
