Description
Indian tandoor clay oven cooking uses high-temperature dry heat for even cooking.
Technical
The technique relies on thermal conduction and radiation, with the Maillard reaction occurring due to high temperatures and dry heat, leading to the formation of new flavor compounds and browning. The clay walls of the oven absorb and distribute heat evenly, allowing for efficient cooking.
