The Secrets of the Kamado Barbecue

The secrets that make this type of BBQ special are the material and temperature control.

• The special ceramic used allows all the heat generated by the coal to be kept inside, accumulating it and then slowly releasing it.
• The perfect regulation of the internal air flows allows us to have very accurate control of the temperature, also allowing cooking at low temperatures (even 60 - 80° for example) or at very high temperatures (e.g. 350° C)
• Versatility is another very important aspect, in fact with kamado it is possible to cook with various types of cooking, such as Direct Cooking, Indirect Cooking, Wood Oven Cooking and Smoking.

Main Features :

• Very easy to use both indoors and outdoors.
• Very low smoke emission compared to traditional barbecues.
• It lights up in just 12 minutes thanks to the chimney (not included) and reaches 250°C in just 18 minutes.

What types of cooking can I do with Kamado?

Direct Cooking: (grilling)

It is the most widespread and easy to make method, it consists of cooking the food on the grill directly above the embers at very high temperatures. The characteristics are, a good crispy crust on the outside of the food and the inside will still remain nice and moist. This cooking technique is the best for pieces of meat or foods in general up to 5/8 cm thick such as hamburgers, beef or chicken steaks, vegetable steaks or vegetable burgers. This type of cooking can also be used in combination with Indirect Cooking to cook larger foods, in these cases an indirect cooking will be done and then a Direct Cooking step at the end to make the outside more colorful and crispy.

Indirect cooking:

Indirect cooking is a very versatile cooking method, and is particularly suitable for large cuts of meat, fish or vegetables. It is a slower type of cooking than direct cooking, but guarantees perfect heat penetration into the food. This type of cooking can be done at various temperatures, usually between 60° and 250°C, this is possible thanks to a special deflector (included in the package) that prevents the heat from reaching the food directly, but at the same time heats the chamber creating a flow of hot air that perfectly envelops the food. This also makes it perfect for smoking or flavoring. With the Kamado, Indirect Cooking is even more effective than other cooking tools, and regulating and maintaining the temperature is really easy.

Indirect cooking also includes stews and roasts, both dry and wet, in fact it is possible to cook using various cooking tools such as: the grill, the cast iron plate, pots, casseroles or woks made of ceramic, iron, aluminum or cast iron.

Wood Oven Cooking:

With the help of a round and smooth stone (included in the package) it is possible to cook with all the characteristics of a wood-fired oven.
Preparing Pizzas, Bread, focaccias or even cakes or biscuits with an unmistakable taste and aroma will be really easy. For this type of cooking you need the deflector for indirect cooking and the round stone (both included in the package). You just need to bring the kamado to the desired temperature and your preparations will achieve incredible results.

Smoking:

Smoking itself is more of a method of flavoring and preserving foods than a true cooking method.
In the Kamado, however, it is possible to do both, therefore combining the potential of indirect cooking with the possibility of inserting wood chips that during combustion smoke the food, cooking it and giving truly unique aromas. Smoking can be done at temperatures between 60° and 150° and in this case we speak of hot smoking. This type of cooking/aroma usually has rather long times compared to the average and can be used for meat, fish, vegetables, cheeses. For this type of cooking, a bit of experience and knowledge of the temperatures to use based on the foods you want to prepare is necessary.
