A Kamado oven maintains humidity through its unique design, which helps lock in moisture. Here’s how it works:
1.Thick Ceramic Walls: The Kamado’s heavy ceramic body provides excellent insulation, retaining both heat and moisture. This minimizes airflow, so moisture from the food stays inside the cooking chamber rather than escaping.
2.Sealed Environment: Kamado grills are designed to be airtight when the vents are adjusted properly. This reduces the amount of oxygen that enters the chamber, lowering the risk of moisture escaping during the cooking process.
3.Temperature Control with Vents: The precise airflow control allows you to cook at low temperatures for extended periods without excessive drying out. The adjustable top and bottom vents help regulate the heat while maintaining a humid environment.
4.Minimal Air Exchange: Unlike traditional grills, which require more air for combustion, a Kamado oven’s fuel-efficient design allows for less air to pass through. Less air means less moisture is carried away, helping retain natural juices.
5.Moisture from the Food: When cooking meat, poultry, or vegetables, the moisture released from the food stays inside the Kamado, further enhancing the humid environment. This helps in tenderizing the food and keeping it moist.
If you want to boost humidity further for certain dishes, you can place a water pan inside the grill, adding extra steam during the cooking process.
