In Lyon, interview with chef Florent Boivin from the Institut Paul Bocuse. Feedback on his use of the QUATRO Kamado:
The advantages of a black kamado
Aesthetic durability : Black better hides stains, scuffs, and wear and tear caused by weathering and repeated baking. It keeps its clean appearance more easily, especially if used often.
Heat and fading : Black, being more neutral, is less likely to show signs of fading caused by UV or intense heat compared to brighter colours.
Care : Black kamados requires less cosmetic maintenance, as soot, grease and residue are less visible than on coloured models.
The black kamado it is a safe and practical choice, with greater aesthetic durability, especially if you are looking for easy maintenance and a uniform long-term appearance.
