What are some design considerations for a kitchen with a built-in tandoor oven?

1. Ventilation: Tandoor ovens produce smoke, heat, and odor. Adequate ventilation is necessary to keep the kitchen smoke-free and eliminate any foul smells.

2. Heat Protection: Tandoor ovens can reach very high temperatures up to 900°F. The surrounding walls and cabinets in the kitchen should be adequately protected to prevent any damage.

3. Placement: The tandoor oven should be placed away from any flammable materials, such as curtains or paper, and at a safe distance from other appliances such as the refrigerator or dishwasher.

4. Size and Capacity: Tandoor ovens come in various sizes. The size chosen should be appropriate for the kitchen space available and the number of people being catered to.

5. Material: A tandoor oven can be made of various materials, such as clay, metal, or concrete. The material chosen should be durable and able to withstand the high heat generated by the oven.

6. Cleanliness: Tandoor ovens should be cleaned regularly to prevent the buildup of grease and debris. The design of the kitchen should facilitate easy cleaning of the oven and surrounding areas.

7. Accessibility: The tandoor oven should be accessible for cooking and cleaning. The placement of the oven should not hinder foot traffic or other kitchen activities.
