Why Buy an EGG?
Have you ever wondered why the grill we choose to carry is the Big Green Egg, the all-in-one Kamado style grill? First, we all love it. Second, there are some very specific reasons – check them out in this article!
Let’s look at why you might want to buy an EGG?
What’s So Special About It?
There’s is so much that’s special about the Big Green Egg. It’s way more than just a grill.
You’ll find that it’s an entire outdoor cooking system. It’s stronger, more durable, and provides better heat retention than any other outdoor cooker on the market.
It’s convenient. It’s easy. Your results are second to none. You can grill, smoke, and bake on it!
And if you’re like us, once you experienced the Big Green Egg, you’ll never look at another grill (we can bet on it!). Let’s look at some more solid reasons to buy an EGG.
It’s a High Temperature Grill
You can sear steaks, chops, burgers, and seafood with a flavorful crust unmatched by other grills. You’ll find that high-temp steakhouse chargrilling and stir-frying is so quick and easy you’ll look for reasons to eat at home!
What’s more, it’s easy to grill on your EGG!
The basic setup for direct grilling is simple. Add natural lump charcoal to the top of the firebox and light the charcoal. Add the cooking grid, open the top and bottom vents and let the EGG rise to the desired temperature. From there, just adjust the top and bottom vents to maintain the desired temperature.
Your options for grilling are wide open! You’ll find that tender foods, less than two inches thick and boneless, are good candidates for direct grilling. It is the ideal way to cook steaks, chops, burgers, boneless chicken breasts, kebabs, fish fillets, many vegetables, and other quick-cooking foods. In addition, with a wok in place directly over the hot charcoal, you can even make a tasty stir-fry.
It’s a Versatile Roaster
Gatherings are more memorable when you roast a juicy turkey, rack of lamb, or ham on a Big Green Egg. The superior cooking qualities produce the most flavorful roasts, braises, and stews you’ve ever tasted.
When roasting on the EGG, you don’t expose your food directly exposed to the flames and heat of the fire. Rather, a shield such as a Drip Pan or convEGGtor is placed beneath the food to deflect the heat. Food is cooked by convection heat, which is actually the heated air, and radiant heat, which reflects off the coals, side walls and dome.
It’s a Low N Slow Smoker
The EGG’s insulating ceramics allow precise temp control even at low heat. Want to barbecue at low heat for 16 hours or longer? No problem! An EGG can do that on a single fill of natural lump charcoal.
When you cook slowly over low heat infused with wood smoke, you’ll enjoy what many call “real barbecue.” Smoking exposes food to aromatic wood smoke to preserve the meat or add flavor. Cooking “low and slow” is a way to break down connective tissue and tenderize tough (and typically less expensive) cuts of meat like beef brisket, pork shoulder, pork butts, and spare ribs.
It’s an Outdoor Oven
The EGG bakes bread, casseroles, and desserts better than your kitchen oven. You’ll be amazed when you bite into the most delicious slice of pizza you’ve ever eaten. You need to taste it to believe it!
The EGG excels at baking everything. While the ancient Pompeii ovens relied on bricks and clay to hold heat, today’s Big Green Egg uses patented components and insulating ceramics to retain heat and moisture so well that foods just don’t dry out. When baking on the EGG, food cooks faster with consistent browning and moister results than in any other type of oven.
Still Not Convinced You Should Buy an EGG?
We’ve got a few more reasons you really want to think about it:
Highest Quality
State-of-the-art ceramic technology and patented components provide the best thermal properties, material quality, and cooking.
Lasts a Lifetime
Every EGG comes with a free Best-In-Class lifetime warranty.
Quick and Easy to Start
Lighting the charcoal is simple, and the EGG reaches cooking temperature in minutes. This is the same as most gas, pellet, or briquette grills.
Precise Temperature Control
Easily control the heat by adjusting the patented airflow systems; a high-quality temp gauge provides precise readings to 750°F/400°C.
Ready to Use Any Time of Year
While most grills retreat in the colder months, the thermal efficiency of an EGG performs as well in winter as it does all summer.
Easy Clean-Up
The EGG has an exterior glaze that easily wipes clean. Inside, residual heat burns away any build-up – just like a self-cleaning oven.
Custom-Designed Accessories
With hundreds of EGGcessories designed exclusively for the EGG, the culinary possibilities are endless!
