Big Green Egg Facts
EFFICIENT
The Heavy Duty
Big Green Egg® is made of modern heat holding ceramics. The
ceramic walls are heavy and thick. This insulating quality cooks
foods with an amazingly small consumption of charcoal. A 20 LB
bag of natural charcoal will usually provide four to six months
use, even if you cook out several times per week. When you are
through cooking, just close the lid and the top and bottom
drafts to extinguish the fire. You can reuse about 80% of the
charcoal. This feature alone will pay for your Big Green Egg® in
a short time.
EASY
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
By adjusting
the dampers, you can attain a temperature accuracy within two
degrees. You have total control. You can do your grilling,
barbecuing, smoking, and baking at exactly the temperatures you
need. The optional heat gauge will give precise readings of
temperature, from 50° to 750°. We have included a cookbook with
recipes and easy instructions. You'll get great results from the
start.
THE WORLD'S
BEST SMOKER
Smoking is
done at lower temperatures—usually between 150° and 250°. Add
some moistened wood chips to the glowing charcoal for flavor.
Your Egg® gives you control of the degree of smoked flavor. You
can have just a hint of smoke, or have your meats smoked through
to the bone. With the Big Green Egg® you can smoke foods exactly
the way you like them.
EASY TO
START
Lighting is
quick without starter fluid regardless of wind conditions. All
you need are a few sheets of newspaper. The air flow works like
a fireplace. The Big Green Egg® will be at operating temperature
and ready to use in less than ten minutes. You can use an
electric lighter for even greater convenience.
A COMPLETE
OUTDOOR COOKER
The BGE® is a
smoker, a grill, and an oven. You can do an entire meal at once
by including your veggies—corn, potatoes, mushrooms, onions,
etc. are superb! There are even deserts you can enjoy from the
Egg®. The cookbook has many more suggestions.
MOISTURE
RETENTION
The Big Green
Egg® ceramics hold heat and moisture extremely well. For this
reason, foods do not dry out, as in metal charcoal, gas, or
electric grills. Natural juices and flavors enhance the taste.
The BGE® operates without the need for water or endless hours of
tending. Meats and other foods are juicier, with little or no
shrinkage.
SAFER TO USE
The Big Green
Egg® is safer to use because the ceramic surface stays cooler
than a metal cooker. This protection is most important around
small children.
NATURAL
FLAVORS
The ceramic
Big Green Egg® gives a natural and wholesome flavor to all your
foods—with no metallic taste. When baking, you'll get a
"brick-oven" flavor and crust. Bake a bread or a pizza in your
Big Green Egg® and see for yourself.
YEAR-AROUND
USAGE
You can use
The Big Green Egg® in all climates. Rain and snow cannot harm
it. It is suitable for all year use, even in freezing
temperatures. The BGE® can be priceless in emergencies.
EASY CLEAN
UP
The exterior
has a lifetime porcelain glaze bonded to the ceramic. This
permanent finish maintains its good looks and wipes clean
easily. Inside, the heat will burn off any grease and splatters
much like a self-cleaning oven. The porcelain coated grill is
easy to clean. When your cookout is over you'll have less than a
handful of ash to remove.
LIFETIME
CERAMIC GUARANTEE
Heavy Duty Big
Green Egg® ceramics will not become brittle with use like the
fire-clay kamados of old. These new space age ceramics will
withstand 2000 ° of heat without damage. Sear your steaks and
fish at 700° or more. Smoke your roast or ham at 200° or less.
Your Big Green Egg® will maintain the temperature you set, and
perform superbly at high and low temperatures! |
