Over Christmas I bought a Big Green Egg. I read all the marketing blurb in the brochure and captured my imagination, I've already written about how good it is and published some Kamado barbecue recipes but I was intrigued to learn more about the creation of such a versatile kitchen equipment. I wrote an article about it, but since the release, I did more research and found that some of my original findings may already creative in their origin.
MyPreliminary inquiry found on the Internet that it's origins in clay pots from China, which was later adapted by the Japanese a few hundred years. The end result was the Mushikamado and view photographs on the Internet, it's pretty clear that this part of the story is clear.
Where there is a little less clear in the 1960s, when the Kamado, as we know it today arrived in the United States. There are a lot of published work that refers to Richard Johnson, a manKamado, the founder of the company, it was he who brought Kamado in the U.S. and it was he who first called it a Kamado and patented the name. Further research leads me to believe that some of these points are not met.
The first point is that Kamado is indeed a genuine and not a Japanese word along to Johnson. The word "Kamado is actually a part of the Japanese language and means stove, and to the point, there are many derivations of the word in the development of JapaneseLanguage: --
Yukikamado - A pot fitted with a furnace that could be implemented to
Tsukikamado - Another word for the stove, built with stones, bricks and clay.
Magatamagata Kamado - a large range with polished black lace, a base and a hole in Stoke a curved or horseshoe plan with no less than eleven cooking holes.
Ishikamado - a steel rice cooker, which is plugged into a stone frame.
Niwakamado - A temporary boilrange set up in the earth floored area of houses from the first to the third of January as part of the New Year festivities.
Kamadodono - A building with a hearth or cooking stove.
Koujinsan-no-kamado - In some districts, such as Saga prefecture, a large cooking range mainly used for special occasions.
Kamado matsuri - Cooker and Well Festival
Mushikamado - rice cooker
The second claim made by Johnson is that he trademarked the Kamado word, but a careful examination of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has this claim proved to be untrue as well.
So who should we believe and we know really interested? Look around, how many businesses use the word Kamado and proof as to how well used the word in the Japanese language, it seems that some of the claims made by Richard Johnson and can serve as good marketing and not a statement of fact. Having said that, I am enjoying thoroughlyOn my Kamado cooking over the whole year, I am about the results that I have when they are excited, either as a grill or a meat smoker recipes barbecue smokers, and all I use are the real contribution to the spread of the Internet.
