Big Green Egg

About

The Big Green Egg barbecue is nothing short of legendary. Engineered with NASA-grade ceramic that supercharges flavour and uses less charcoal than standard cookers, this all-in-one kamado grill also bakes, slow-cooks, smokes, and – with attachments – makes pizza and rotisseries chicken.

The Big Green Egg is modelled after a traditional Japanese clay oven called the mushikamado, or kamado grill. Kamado grills are covered and made with ceramic, which excels at maintaining heat once the charcoal reaches optimal cooking temperature. The benefit of ceramic over other materials, such as metal or enamel, is that it provides significantly better insulation, which conserves fuel. Big Green Eggs are made with a special NASA-grade ceramic that reflects heat back onto your food, locking in moisture and smoky flavour, while using air vents at the top and bottom to give you more control over the temperature. This multiplies its functionality, allowing the Big Green Egg not just to grill, but also bake, smoke, slow-cook, and with attachments, make pizza or rotisserie chicken. Where are Big Green Eggs manufactured? For more than 25 years, Big Green Eggs have been manufactured in a high-tech facility in Mexico, where they have an exclusive contract. This allows them to keep their ceramic recipe top secret. How do you start a Big Green Egg? Getting your EGG fired up is simple, taking just about 15 minutes to get ready for cooking.
