We are going to review some ways that you can use your Big Green Egg this spring, so you can kick off grilling season in style.
What is the Big Green Egg?
Before we can explore ways to use your Big Green Egg this spring, in case you don’t have one or even know what one is, we wanted to review what it is. This outdoor cooking system is much more than just your regular grill or smoker; it is designed to be stronger, more durable, and provide better heat retention than any other outdoor cooker on the market.
A Big Green Egg can be used has a high-temperature grill, roaster, low and slow smoker, and even an outdoor oven. It has many uses that a standard outdoor grill does not have to offer. Not only can you use this cooking system for just about anything, it is guaranteed to last a lifetime, is built with state-of-the-art ceramic patented technology to provide the best thermal properties, it is quick and easy to start, has precise temperature control, is easy to clean, and is ready to use during any season of the year, even if we get an unexpected snow in May.
Ways to Use Your Big Green Egg this Spring
Lake Erie can provide us with some pretty unpredictable weather, and even in the spring, we know that it can feel like winter. With the Big Green Egg (EGG), the thermal efficiency performs as well in winter as it does all summer. Have no fear. If you have a barbecue planned and snow happens to pop up in the forecast, you can still use the EGG successfully.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to this outdoor cooking system. As we mentioned, it has multiple cooking capabilities, so how and what you cook is really up to you. Below are some of our favorite things to use the Big Green Egg for in the spring.
- Grilling: When people think about outdoor cooking, the most common thing to come to mind is grilling. With the EGG, you can grill and sear steaks, pork chops, burgers, seafood, and more. When you grill on this outdoor cooking system, the flavor will be unmatched by other grills, as it creates a flavorful crust and can make your food taste like it was chargrilled at the finest restaurant. One of our favorite things to grill on the Big Green Egg is burgers. Burgers are a necessity for spring grilling and a burger made with an EGG will be one of the best burgers you’ve ever eaten.
- Roasting: Spring gatherings are all about being together and enjoying your outdoor living space. You can amplify your event by having the aroma of food roasting in your EGG. Gatherings are more memorable when you roast a juicy turkey, rack of lamb, beef tenderloin, whole chicken, or ham on a Big Green Egg. You can produce the most flavorful roasts, braises and stews you’ve ever tasted when you use this outdoor cooking system.
- Smoking: Just the thought of smoked meats gets us hungry. Smoked meats do well at low and steady temperatures, and that is exactly what the EGG can provide. The EGG’s insulating ceramics allow for precise temperature control even at low heat. Think about smoking ribs, turkey, chicken wings, pork, brisket, burnt ends, salmon, or get as creative as you would like. There is no limit to what you can add the nice smoky flavor and bark to.
- Baking: That’s right, you can use your Big Green Egg as an outdoor oven and bake whatever you choose. Breads, casseroles, pizza, and desserts can all be made while you are enjoying the outdoors and your guests. We love pies, cakes, and other sweet treats made on the EGG. Not to mention, the pizza. The pizza created by this outdoor cooking system is unlike any slice you have ever had.
