Most present-day Japanese have only seen a kamado stove only in the movies but their parents and especially their grandparents probably remember it well, especially if they didn't live in big cities. Those wood or coal stoves were once the standard way of preparing the staple of Japanese cuisine, steamed rice, and according to purists the rice they cook is incomparable. The Tiger KMD-A100 Outdoor Kamado Rice Cooker allows you to test this out for yourself, bringing a small, easy-to-use stove to your kitchen, garden, or camp site!
The Tiger KMD-A100 Outdoor Kamado Rice Cooker doesn't need any electricity: the heat it uses to prepare delicious, old-school rice comes instead from burning newspapers! After you've washed the rice and put it in the pot with water, you place the pot in the kamado and insert crumbled newspaper underneath. Then just light it up and let nature take its course, as it has been doing for all those centuries before we had electricity. A compact 25 x 25 x 23.3 cm (9.8 x 9.8 x 9.2") and good for up to five measures (900 ml) of rice, this is the very best kind of nostalgia!
