Auplex Kamado grills are versatile ceramic cookers that can be used for a variety of cooking methods, making them popular among grilling enthusiasts. Here are some of the primary cooking methods you can use with a Auplex Kamado:

1. Grilling
Auplex Kamado grills excel at direct grilling, where food is cooked directly over the coals. The thick ceramic walls retain heat efficiently, allowing for high temperatures and quick cooking. Perfect for:

· Steaks
· Burgers
· Vegetables
· Seafood
2. Smoking
Auplex Kamado grills can maintain low, consistent temperatures for long periods, making them ideal for smoking. By using the included deflector plates to create an indirect cooking environment, you can smoke foods at low temperatures (225-250°F) for hours. Ideal for:

· Brisket
· Pulled pork
· Ribs
· Whole chickens
3. Baking
Thanks to its excellent heat retention and distribution, the Auplex Kamado can function as a brick oven. You can bake a variety of items, including:

· Bread
· Pizzas (using the pizza stone accessory)
· Pies
· Casseroles
4. Roasting
Using the deflector plates and a drip pan, you can roast meats and vegetables evenly. This method is great for larger cuts of meat that benefit from indirect heat, such as:

· Whole turkeys
· Roasts (beef, pork, lamb)
· Vegetables
5. Searing
The Auplex Kamado can reach very high temperatures (over 700°F), making it perfect for searing. Searing locks in the juices and adds a flavorful crust to meats. Best for:

· Steaks
· Chops
· Tuna
6. Slow Cooking
With its ability to maintain steady low temperatures, the Auplex Kamado is perfect for slow cooking dishes that need long, gentle heat, such as:

· Stews
· Chili
· Pulled meats
7. Wok Cooking
Using a wok with a Auplex Kamado allows for high-heat stir-frying. The grill’s ability to maintain high heat is ideal for:

· Stir-fries
· Fried rice
· Sautéed vegetables

Tips for Using a Auplex Kamado:
· Temperature Control: Use the top vent and bottom vent to control airflow and maintain desired temperatures.
Lump Charcoal: Always use natural lump charcoal for better heat and flavor.
· Fire Starters: Use natural fire starters to light your charcoal.
· Cleaning: Regularly clean the grill grates and empty the ash tray to maintain efficiency and performance.
Summary
Auplex Kamado grills are incredibly versatile, offering numerous cooking methods from grilling and smoking to baking and roasting. With the right techniques and accessories, you can expand your culinary repertoire and achieve excellent results across a wide range of dishes.
