We believe cooking rice in a Kama* and Kamado* brings out the best flavor and texture of rice.

With its round bottom, heats transfer from bottom to sides efficiently. When cooking with Kama, Kamado is necessary to be used with. Without Kamado, heat escapes and the temperature in Kama becomes low and unstable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*2: \"Kamado\" is a traditional Japanese cooking stove that fits the lower half of a kama.
