Introducing the revolutionary Kamado Jan grill

ITALCOTTO DESIGN CENTRE SPOKESPERSON SIGNATURE taste, unmatched value. Italcotto is renowned for introducing innovative and exiciting products. The launch of awesome Kamado Jan grill will bring a taste revolution to the humble braai. Like many of you, we at Italcotto are passionate about outdoor braaing and it is this passion that has led us to the introduction of the amazing Kamado style of cooking.

If you are not familiar with the Kamado style grill, it is a ceramic grill which uses lump charcoal to cook food either directly or indirectly. The Kamado design is based on a traditional Japanese cooking stove dating back centuries. Modern versions of the cooker are now produced and sold internationally and are becoming a worldwide phenomenon.

The grill originated from a Chinese ceramic cooking device used in the Qin Dynasty dating back some 3000 years ago. Back then it was known as a Yan-steamer (Pronounced Jan). It was then imported to Japan (around 200-538 AD during the Kofun period) and subsequently named the “Kamado” which slowly evolved over time into the product you see today. But, what is so special about the Kamado grill? The secret of the Kamado is the ceramic dome. The ceramic shell acts as an insulator to keep the natural oils and moisture in food for incredible juiciness and tenderness. You also get true wood fired flavour because our grills use 100% natural sustainable lump charcoal as a heat source. The shape also circulates heat for more uniform cooking. Now compare this to open grills that let heat escape and cook largely from below. They require more total heat to achieve the same temperature profile as a Kamado. This excessive heat robs moisture from your meat. The Kamado Jan keeps the heat in the grill and the moisture in the meat.

The air controls of the Kamado Jan allow the user to accurately control and regulate the temperature thereby offering endless cooking possibilities and the accessories available also allow the user to cook in various styles which results in the ultimate culinary (braai) experience. The Kamado Jan grills allow you to bake, roast grill, smoke and even bake pizza with a simple adjustment of the air flow. The bottom line is that you can cook anything in the Kamado Jan ceramic grill.

The ingenuous ceramic dome design gets the Kamado up to temperature and ready to cook in approximately 15 minutes; the average time it takes to heat up a gas grill. What’s more is that the Kamado is extremely economical to use giving you up to 14 hours of cooking heat from one load of charcoal.

Our grills are built for years of use and beauty, which is why they carry a limited lifetime warranty – a Kamado Jan grill is likely to be the last braai you will ever buy. In the long run it is far more economical than buying a new grill every few years .The Kamado Jan uses less fuel a use than any other braais. Kamado Jan is available in three versatile sizes, Jan jnr33cm, Jan- 46 cm and Big Jan -57cm. We believe that the unique signature taste, versatile cooking style and applications of the Kamado Jan will revolutionise the South African braai culture. When you compare the cooking advantages, accessories and cost a use, our grills are unbeatable.
