Musui–Kamado Design

Japanese thoughtfulness meets modern innovation.

The Musui’s accuracy begins at casting.

At 2700°F, our proprietary mix of vermicular graphite iron and 13 other metals are melted and poured into sand molds. After the molds are cooled and the pots released, the body and lid of the Musui are meticulously hand-machined until they fit at a .01 mm accuracy. This precision seal empowers 'waterless' cooking—from which the Musui takes its name.

The final step in manufacturing, the Musui is evenly coated three times with enamel. This step has two important attributes that are unique to Vermicular—it helps distribute heat and cook ingredients from their core, while our proprietary glass coating helps improve durability so the Musui can be passed down for generations to come. With the safety of our employees and users as our utmost concern, we never use any toxic materials like cadmium to coat our cookware.

The Kamado collaborates with the Musui.

Inspired by the seminal stove of Japanese kitchens past, the Kamado collaborates with the Musui to ensure the full flavor profile of each ingredient is allowed to bloom. With its powerful and precise heating technology, it far exceeds the performance of traditional electrical and gas stove tops, emboldening cooks in a whole new way.

Our exclusive Three-Dimensional Kamado Heating is delivered through surrounding sidewall heaters and high-performance induction coils located at the base. This heating innovation provides an even heat distribution throughout and safeguards your dishes against inconsistent cooking, much like a modern day kamado stove.
