Josper is a phenomenal range that’s easy to be proud of. Being able to don my chef gear and showcase its quality, versatility and simplicity to everyone is going to be a lot of fun. There are a range of amazing projects lined up, as well as regular live cooking demos and complimentary training all over the country – I truly can’t wait to get stuck in.
Jordan Ellis, Josper UK Brand Manager
While Josper is most known for their commercial line, they also offer commercial-grade charcoal ovens for home use. There have been some new entrants in the home charcoal oven category in recent years, but it’s a category that’s still in its infancy.
Charcoal ovens have an insulated cabinet design with charcoal loaded an the bottom. It’s a style of cooking that’s similar to using a Kamado grill.
Heat is regulated through vents at the top and bottom of the oven. Charcoal ovens are great for many different styles of cooking, but especially grilling and baking.
It’s a style of cooking that many chefs love, so it’s great that someone passionate about it leading brand marketing.
His [Jordan’s] ideas have already showcased the fire and passion he has got for the Josper products. We are looking forward to seeing how he will drive and transform the way that Josper is brought to the market in the UK.
