The Original: Kamado Grill
The very best of outdoor cooking, bar none! The kamado ceramic cooker design was made famous in Japan hundreds of years ago. From the beginning of time humans used clay
vessels to cook their food. Archeologists
have found clay cooking pots in every part of the world, and you should note
that some of these cooking pots are similar in shape to our Kamado.
There was, and still is, magic associated with cooking in ceramic - the ultimate brick oven.
Professional BBQ results at home. Most recently, kamado cooking has been made popular by several reliable companies...Saffire, The Big Green Egg, and others. These premier ceramic cookers are just a versatile as any grill with which you may be familiar, however, the kamado ceramic chamber retains heat and moisture more efficiently.
Ceramic cookers are equally adept at grilling, baking, smoking, and barbecuing
foods. It is an all inclusive, premium cooker and a BBQ master that transforms one's ability to cook out of doors as professionally as the pros. A kamado grill provides years of enjoyment, high performance and can be used year around in all climates including freezing cold and rain. " A PERFECT GIFT". There is a kamado grill to fit everyone's outdoor cooking needs (AND BUDGET).
3000 Years of History: The Mushikamado, a Rice Cooker As cultures and people throughout the world
cooked and prepared their staple foods and favorite dishes in ceramics, so did
the Japanese. The Japanese had a
remarkable device that cooked rice which "looked and tasted different and
better." This cooker, the
Mushikamado, was used to steam rice for ceremonial family functions and was not
used for barbecuing meat, fish, or anything else.
The Mushikamado was made entirely of clay
found in Southern Japan, and its shape was, like many cooking vessels around the
world, very similar to today’s "Kamado."
The Mushikamado was round and domed with a lid that lifted off the base,
and it included a damper and draft door. Inside
the Mushikamado, a rice pot with a wooden lid was suspended over the
"firebox" by a "fire ring." The fuel used to generate heat to steam the rice was wood charcoal.
The Mushikamado becomes the Kamado: Richard Johnson designed and patented the
Mushikamado into a ceramic barbecue in 1960's while he was an airline pilot
flying to Japan. Richard
arbitrarily chose to call his new barbecue a Kamado, a word that had no stand
alone or descriptive meaning in Japan before 1960.
“Kamado” was trade marked by Richard, and over the years the name
became (and in some cases used without authority) synonymous with a ceramic
barbecue
You
will find our Saffire and Green Egg kamado grills more versatile than any outdoor cooking
appliance on the market, whether comparing it to gas, electric or
another charcoal grill. Because these grills are a smoker, a grill and an
oven all rolled into one you have many cooking options at your disposal. The results are AWESOME; it is easy to start
and easy to clean.
Do not be fooled by imitations popping up at the big box stores...it could be insulated steel...not the effective enameled "brick oven" like the original.
