A Truly functional piece of yard Art
The original design of the Big Green Egg® traces its roots back over 3000 years, to ancient China. The Japanese adopted it, and called it "kamado," which means oven, stove, heater, or fireplace. In the years following World War II, thousands of Americans in the military "discovered" the strange cooker and brought it home to the United States. It delighted everyone who used it and tasted the food. Up until then, the only grills available for outdoor cooking were the metal charcoal and gas grills. The additional juiciness and flavor that this "new" cooker gave to foods amazed everyone that sampled its cooking.
Throughout the world, food cooked in ceramics look and taste different and better". Every country and people in the world prepare their favorite foods in ceramic. There is unexplainable magic in the result of food cooked in "Dutch ovens," "Crock pots," "Bean pots," "Mushikamado," (rice), Hawaiian luau "pits," "Pizza ovens," and the Southwestern Indian Beehive oven. Each country and people seem to have their own reason for this "magic". Everything from religious beliefs to secret ceramic teachings. For what ever explanation, all agree that there is something very special in the way food cooked in ceramics tastes.
