Amfora Double Skewer

The Amfora double skewer is a practical tandoor accessory designed for cooking products that need more secure fixation than on a standard single skewer. Thanks to its double shape, ingredients stay more stable, rotate less during cooking and can be turned more easily for even baking.

It is suitable for mushrooms, vegetables, shrimp, lard, small pieces of meat and other delicate foods that may slide or rotate on a classic skewer. In a tandoor, where food is often cooked vertically and exposed to strong heat, stable fixation on the skewer is especially important.

The skewer is made of 430 stainless steel. The total length is approximately 44–45 cm, and the working length is approximately 35 cm.

🔥 Why a double skewer is useful

A standard skewer can be enough for firm meat pieces, but softer or slippery products may rotate during cooking. The double shape holds ingredients better and makes the cooking process easier to control.

The double skewer helps to:

✔ secure products more firmly;
✔ turn ingredients more easily;
✔ achieve more even baking;
✔ reduce the risk of food sliding off;
✔ cook delicate ingredients more neatly;
✔ control the cooking process better in the tandoor.

🍄 Perfect for mushrooms, vegetables and delicate foods

The Amfora double skewer is especially useful for foods that do not have a very firm structure. Mushrooms, vegetable pieces, shrimp or lard can be harder to control on a standard skewer because they may rotate or break.

The double construction provides two support points, making the food more stable during cooking. This is important in a tandoor, where products are suspended vertically and exposed to intense heat.

🪵 Recommended fuel for tandoor

For tandoor cooking, well-dried natural wood is recommended:

✔ Beech
✔ Hornbeam
✔ Oak
✔ Acacia
✔ Other well-dried hardwoods

Well-dried wood provides more stable temperature, cleaner burning and less smoke.

Do not use chipboard, MDF, painted, lacquered, impregnated or chemically treated wood.

👨‍🍳 CasaGrill recommendations

Choose the double skewer for ingredients that need better support: mushrooms, soft vegetables, shrimp or small pieces of meat.

Do not overload the skewer. Leave some space between ingredients so hot air can circulate better.

For an even result, cut products into similar-sized pieces.

After use, let the skewer cool down, then clean it with a sponge and mild detergent. Dry well before storage.
