What’s The Big Deal About The Big Green Egg?

Springtime means one thing to the right kind of people – grilling season.

And with people cooking from home more often than ever, you want to make the most of your time outside and start grilling like the pros. And if you’re any kind of grilling fan, you already know about the Big Green Egg – or you’ve at least heard about it on your favorite cooking blogs and shows. 

The Big Green Egg is the ultimate in outdoor cooking – it’s an all-in-one grill that grills, smokes, roasts, bakes, and sears. It’s the highest quality ceramic kamado-style charcoal grill available and it comes with a lifetime warranty. The Big Green Egg wants to sell you the last grill you’ll ever buy. When you invest in a Big Green Egg, you’re getting the highest-quality cooker on the market.

It’s a Grill, It’s an Oven…No, It’s a Smoker! 

Actually it’s all three. Sear the perfect pork chops and leave the most perfect grill marks known to steak-dom on the EGG. Trying for that “Steak House” style sear at 750 degrees? Easy! You can even use the two damper system to lower the heat for other grilled foods. No matter what you’re cooking up, the sear on this baby gives food a flavor-packed crust that is to die for. 

Use the convEGGtor accessory to turn your EGG into the perfect oven to bake pizza, bread, casseroles, and cobblers (dare we say it?!) even better than your kitchen oven.  You never have to cook indoors again if you don’t want to! 

And because the Big Green Egg allows you to control the temperature precisely – even at very low heat – you’ll never turn out more tender and flavorful smoked hams, turkeys, or BBQ ribs. It’s the insulated ceramic that allows for steady, low heat cooking for up to 18 hours. 

So Freakin’ Easy To Use

Big Green Egg’s Lump Charcoal is made from oak and hickory to enhance flavor. Lighting is easy, so you can get to cooking within minutes! The patented airflow system and temperature gauge allow for precise control over your heat which guarantees flawless sears and crunchy crusts! And to clean all you have to do is wipe your baby down – the ceramic is weather resistant in the extreme and inside the cooking grid is stainless steel, both heavy-duty and low-maintenance! 

Our Favorite Big Green Egg Recipe

This filet is so good we had to share it with the world! It’s included with the Big Green Egg Recipe Book and it feels so simple, you might shake your head at it – but we have never had such tender juicy steaks in all our lives. The difference is undeniable! You can find this recipe and more like it here on their site. 

Ingredients: 

2-2½ inch thick filet steaks

2 bacon slices

Big Green Egg Classic Steakhouse Seasoning

Extra virgin olive oil

Skewers

Instructions:

Set the grill up for direct cooking without a convEGGtor at 550°F.

On a perforated cooking grid, cook the bacon just until a little firm. Set aside.

Coat the steaks with olive oil and season with Big Green Egg Classic Steakhouse Seasoning on all sides. 

Wrap the partially-cooked bacon around the edges of the steak; secure with a skewer.

Grill the steaks for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature is 125°F (or to five degrees below your desired temperature). 

Remove from grill and let rest covered for 10 minutes.

Slice and serve!
