Who Says Boys are the Only Ones Who Can Play With Fire?
The temperature outside is rising, so people are cooking more meals outdoors! Meals cooked outside often have more flavor, and they’re often healthier.
Generally speaking, that means the men of the house head out to throw a slab of meat on the grill. But who says boys are the only ones who play with fire?
The good news is that more and more women are standing up and saying, “I’m grilling, too!” And they’re taking charge of the grill. And according to Christie Vanover of Girls Can Grill, who now says, “I now declare myself an #Egghead4Life,” the Big Green Egg is the way to go!
Vanover goes on to say, “My grilling life changed in 2014 when I was gifted a Big Green Egg at the 2014 World Food Championships. I had been curious about the egg for years, but I never felt comfortable investing in one because of my preconceptions about charcoal grills. It’s kind of like being curious about a stand mixer. You think your hand mixer works well so you don’t get the upgrade, but once you do upgrade, your life is changed forever.”
Let’s look at all the great features of the Big Green Egg and why men and women alike love to grill on it!
Why the Big Green Egg?
For starters, it’s all you’ll ever need. You can grill on it, smoke it, and even bake inside of it! It truly is the Ultimate Cooking Expereince.
Not only can you cook over direct heat, but it’s a champ at indirect cooking, too. Set it for low n’ slow cooking, and you’ll be amazed at the end results. Just ask our BBQ team, Ahh Townley, how good a melt-in-your-mouth, fall-apart brisket is!
At Townley, we use our Big Green Egg all the time, literally multiple times per week. Now let’s look at the benefits:
The EGG is Versatile
You won’t believe it, but your EGG is all these things:
- A high temp grill to sear steaks, chops, burgers, and seafood. Even stir-frying is easy!
- It’s a versatile roaster, and you will have the tastiest turkeys, racks of lamb, or ham on your EGG. Your braises and stews are second to none.
- Your Egg is a low and slow smoker. Because of the insulating ceramics, you have precise temp control even at low heat. Want to barbecue for 16 hours or even longer? No problem at all.
- It’s an outdoor oven that bakes bread, pizza, casseroles, and desserts even better than your kitchen oven!
It’s Easy to Light
You won’t struggle to light the EGG. It’s quick and easy. Light it, get your meal ready to go, and you’ll find the EGG is hot and ready when you are.
Lighting the charcoal is simple. The EGG reaches cooking temperature in minutes, which is the same as most gas, pellet, or briquette grills.
You Can Control the Temperature
With a vent on top and on the bottom as well as a built-in thermometer, you can control the temperature with ease. With the EGG Genius, you can even control the temperature remotely right from your cellphone!
The EGG Genius effortlessly controls the temperature of your EGG through your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Remotely manage and monitor cooking temperatures for worry-free cooking and monitor the temperature of your food.
You can also view graphs of your past cooks. Lastly, you receive alerts when your cook is finished or when the EGG temperature is too high or low.
You Can Use It All Year Long
While most grills retreat in the colder months, the thermal efficiency of an EGG performs as well in winter as it does all summer.
Clean Up is Easy
The EGG has an exterior glaze that easily wipes clean. Inside, residual heat burns away any build-up – just like a self-cleaning oven.
You Won’t Believe How Good Your Food Tastes
Your food cooked fast or slow is amazing. Your food will be just the right amount of juicy and moist. Why? This is because of the unique design of the EGG and how the ceramic seals in moisture.
Don’t forget to add Big Green Egg lump charcoal for the absolute best flavor.
