Taboon

A tabun oven, or simply tabun, is a portable clay oven, shaped like a truncated cone. While all were made with a top opening, which could be used as a small stove top, some were made with an opening at the bottom from which to stoke the fire. Built and used even before biblical times as the family, neighbourhood, or village oven, tabun ovens continue to be built and used in parts of the Middle East today. Tabun ovens are distinct from tandoors, but are often mistaken for tandoors. Unlike a tandoor, bread inside the oven is placed on a bed of hot stones, rather than being slapped into walls of the oven. In modern times, this form of oven is common in Jordan and Palestine.
