Description
Naan, Tikka and Tandoori Paratha.
Without the Clay Oven.
A proper electric tandoor for North Indian cooking at home Β· a 4-position selector knob giving you top element, bottom element, both, or off β which is what separates roti from tikka from slow roasting Β· an aluminium sliding tray that pulls right out so you load and turn food without reaching into a hot chamber Β· a stainless steel wire rack whose close squares hold small pieces while drippings fall to the tray below Β· a see-through window and cool-touch handle Β· a matt finish stainless steel body, rust-proof down to the screws Β· thermal insulation and reflectors that keep it to 1400 W Β· 1 year warranty
Top,
bottom,
boththe control that makes it versatile
This is the feature to understand, because it is what turns one appliance into several. The selector knob chooses which heating element runs, and each setting suits a different job. Both elements together give you the enveloping all-round heat of a tandoor β right for paneer tikka, chicken tikka, kebabs and anything that should cook through while colouring on the outside. The top element alone browns from above without cooking the base further, which is how you finish a naan or a tandoori roti, and how you crisp the top of a pizza. The bottom element alone heats from below, suited to parathas on the tray and to slower baking. Most cheap electric tandoors offer a single on-off and one fixed heat, which is exactly why food comes out either raw in the middle or burnt on one side. Ask about this specifically when comparing β it is the difference between a tandoor and a hot box.
The sliding tray and wire rack β how the pair actually works
The two accessories are designed to be used together, and knowing how saves a good deal of mess. The aluminium tray slides fully out on rails, so you load, check and turn food standing back from the chamber rather than reaching in over a hot element β which is where burns usually happen with a plain electric tandoor. The stainless steel wire rack sits above it, and its closely spaced squares hold small pieces of tikka and vegetables that would otherwise fall through. With the rack in place, marinade, fat and juices drip down onto the tray below instead of onto the element, so cleaning afterwards means washing a tray rather than scrubbing a heating coil. For naan, roti and paratha, use the tray by itself; for tikka, kebab and anything marinated, use the rack over the tray. Line the tray with foil for very oily marinades and cleaning becomes trivial.
Stainless steel down to the screws
The body is matt finish stainless steel, and Glen makes a point that even the screws are stainless β a small detail that says something about where these appliances usually fail. A tandoor lives in the most corrosive environment in the house: steam, salt, acidic marinade, lemon juice, oil, and regular wiping down. On appliances built with a steel shell but ordinary plated screws and fittings, it is the fittings that rust first, streaking the panel and eventually seizing so the unit cannot be opened for service. Matt finish also helps in practice β it does not show fingerprints and heat marks the way a mirror finish does, which matters on something wiped down after every use. Alongside that, the thermal insulation and internal reflectors are what let Glen hold the rating at 1400 W: heat is retained and directed at the food rather than escaping through the walls.

The window matters more than it sounds. Tandoori cooking is fast and the difference between properly charred and burnt is under a minute β being able to watch without opening the tray and losing the heat is what gets it right.
π¦ In the box
Skewers and tongs are not listed as supplied. If you want skewers for seekh kebab, ask us what fits this model rather than assuming they are in the carton.
π― Suited to
Honest about what it is: an electric element produces excellent tandoori texture but not the smoke flavour of a clay tandoor over coal. Most people close that gap with the dhungar method β a lump of hot charcoal and a few drops of ghee, covered for a minute after cooking.
Watch food colour without opening the tray β tandoori cooking turns from perfect to burnt in well under a minute.
Pull and push the loaded tray without a cloth, which is what makes turning food mid-cook practical rather than awkward.
Insulation and reflectors hold heat in and direct it at the food β the reason a full-size tandoor runs on just 1400 W.
Tandoori cooking in a flat or a society where an open coal tandoor is not allowed β no fuel, no ash, no clearance to arrange.

Warranty as per Glen terms and conditions β 1 year brand warranty as stated in supplier material. The scope of cover, parts and labour, exclusions, product registration and the service process are subject to brand policy and the final invoice or warranty card. Heating elements, trays, racks, window glass and knobs may be treated as wear or accessory items and covered differently; damage arising from misuse, overheating, liquid entering the chamber or controls, thermal shock to the window, use on an unsuitable electrical supply or unauthorised servicing is commonly excluded, and glass breakage is generally not covered. Overall height, usable tray dimensions, presence of any thermostat or adjustable temperature control, timer, operating voltage, cord length, inclusion of skewers, ISI or BIS certification status and country of origin are not stated in supplier material and should be confirmed before purchase; the selector knob is described as choosing which elements operate rather than as a temperature control. One supplier reference describes the SA-5014XL as grey while the body is described as matt finish stainless steel; the finish should be confirmed. Power of 1400 W is the electrical input rating. Cooking performance, heat-up time, browning, cooking times and energy consumption depend on the food, quantity, thickness, marinade, position on the tray or rack, selected element setting, supply voltage, preheating and usage. An electric tandoor uses electric heating elements and does not reproduce the smoke flavour imparted by charcoal in a traditional clay tandoor; references to the dhungar method describe a common domestic technique performed separately from this appliance and are general information rather than a manufacturer instruction, and burning charcoal must never be placed inside this appliance. Explanations of element selection, tray and rack use, and stainless steel construction provided here are general information to aid understanding and are not manufacturer specifications. This product is a kitchen appliance and not a medical device; no health, dietary or nutritional outcome is claimed or implied, and references to cooking style describe method rather than health benefit. The appliance reaches high temperatures, and its body, window, tray and rack become extremely hot during use and remain hot after switch-off, presenting a serious burn hazard; children and pets must be kept away, the sliding tray must be used for loading and unloading rather than reaching into the chamber, and heat-resistant protection should be used when handling hot components. It must be placed on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface with clearance on all sides and above, away from curtains, paper, plastics and other flammable materials, must not be used beneath low overhead cabinets, must not be covered, must not be left unattended during cooking, and must not be moved while hot or loaded. Adequate ventilation is required as grilling produces smoke and cooking odour. The appliance must be connected to a properly earthed socket of adequate rating, must not be operated with wet hands, must never be immersed in water, and must be unplugged and fully cooled before cleaning; water must not be introduced into a hot chamber or onto hot window glass. Discontinue use if the window is cracked, the cord or plug is damaged or an element appears damaged.
