With most tandoors, skewers are already included – that is enough to get started. If you want more convenience and more cooking options, here is a practical guide on what to add.

For cooking (meat, fish, vegetables) – most popular add-ons

• Hook – for safely removing accessories and food from a hot tandoor.
• Fish/vegetable grate – for even cooking when you do not want to use skewers.
• “Tree” rack – multi-level cooking (more food in one round).
• Multi-level grate – to cook several items at the same time (vegetables, fish, snacks).

For baking (flatbreads, bread, buns)

• Flatbread pillow – for placing flatbreads/bread onto the tandoor wall.
• Heat-resistant glove – for safer handling near hot walls.
• Stones – for baking and stabilizing heat.
• Kapkir + hook – for easier removal (depending on the cooking method).

Basic minimum (recommended for everyone)

• Tandoor stand / base – for stable placement.
• Cover – for protection and storage (especially from moisture).

Bonus: practical solution for gatherings

• Kazan (cauldron) stand – while the tandoor is heating up, you can cook on a kazan/cauldron in parallel.

Tip: if you are not sure where to start, the most useful add-ons are a hook + grate. Next – a
tree rack or a multi-level grate, and baking tools if you plan bread or flatbreads.
