We’re thrilled for you to begin cooking with the Musui–Kamado. We've compiled helpful cooking and cleaning tips below, so you can enjoy using your Musui–Kamado for years to come. To get started, watch the video below.

Handling the Musui–Kamado

Here are some important things to keep in mind when using the Musui–Kamado:

  • The Musui can be used with the Kamado or on its own on all stovetops and in the oven (up to 570°F).
  • Avoid using metal utensils for cooking.
  • Season the rims of the pot and lid by coating with a thin layer of cooking oil to prevent rusting, especially before the first several uses.
  • Avoid filling the Musui more than halfway with liquid (water, soup, etc.). Always leave the pot uncovered when boiling or stewing liquids over [MED] heat.
  • Always hold the bottom of the appliance with both hands when lifting up or carrying.

Reference the Care Instructions on pages 21–23 of the enclosed cookbook for more information.

Cleaning your Musui–Kamado

Musui
We recommend washing with mild dish soap and a soft sponge. Never scrub with force or with abrasive cleaners to avoid damaging the enamel coating.

Always dry the pot immediately after washing to prevent the rims from rusting. In the event that rust appears, you can easily remove it by using mild dish soap or baking soda on the affected area.

Kamado
Use a damp cloth to clean the entire surface of the Kamado. Never immerse the device in water or any other liquids. For tough stains, use a soft cloth with mild dish soap. Then, dry thoroughly with a separate cloth.

Reference the Care Instructions on pages 24–25 of the enclosed cookbook for more information. For step-by-step instructions on specific cleaning methods, like removing rust, visit our Help Center.
