Big Green Egg Accessories
Enhance your grilling
experience with Big Green Egg Accessories
|
The
Big Green Egg is available in two different models of tables, Long and
Compact, with EGG openings for all sizes but the Mini. |
|
|
The Egg's tables are
made from Cypress which is a beautiful, straight-grained wood,
excellent for outdoor uses. It contains cypressene, a naturally
occurring preservative that protects the tree from decay and insects.
Cypress, a member of the Sequoia Redwood family, is a slow growing tree
with wood that is very durable and stable. This wood comes from
responsibly managed forests.

Long Tables
The
Big Green Egg is available with Long Cypress tables for the Medium,
Large and XL EGGs. They are available with or without casters. The
dimensions for the Long table are 59.5 inches x 24.5 inches and it is
32 inches tall. This size provides ample working and serving room right
next to your EGG.
Natural Lump Charcoal
The
EGG® will cook most efficiently using natural lump charcoal. Big Green
Egg lump charcoal is made from a variety of 100% hardwoods. It burns
hotter and cleaner and lights faster and easier than briquettes. The
amount of ash produced is a fraction of what briquettes produce, which
means less frequent ash removal is required. Use either our electric
lighter or our natural fire starters and you'll be ready to cook in
about 10 minutes; never use lighter fluid.
Wood Smoking Chips
Wood
smoking chips will add a variety of flavors to add extra taste to foods
cooked over the coals. Each type of wood will impart a different taste
to every meat or other food with which it is used, resulting in an
endless variety of new taste combinations. For complete information on
smoking foods, descriptions of each type of wood and suggestions of
which ones enhance various foods click here. The Big Green Egg is
available with the following smoking chips available in 1-1/2 to
2-pound bags. Hickory and Mesquite chunks are available in 6-pound bags.
Fire Starters
Our
Fire Starters are made from sawdust and paraffin and are very efficient
for quickly and easily lighting lump charcoal without giving off a
chemical taste. A box contains 24 cubes. The Electric Starter, if you
prefer that style of lighting, will light the charcoal in about eight
minutes.
EGGcelerator
The
EGGcelerator fans the lump charcoal at initial lighting for faster
start-up times, especially in high altitude situations. The unit easily
attaches onto the draft door of the XLarge, Large or Medium EGGs. Once
the EGG® has obtained the desired cooking temperature, the unit is
switched off and removed. The EGGcelerator requires 8 AA Batteries (not
included), an optional power adapter will be available soon.
Grilling Planks
Plank
cooking is an ancient culinary method which originated with the
American Indians. The longstanding tradition of cooking on a plank has
evolved into a well-used at-home grilling technique that adds a whole
new dimension to your grilling experience. Foods roast in their own
juices, keeping meats, seafood and vegetables moist and infusing them
with magnificent tastes as they absorb the aromatic wood smoke. The
planks must be soaked in water for at least an hour before placing them
on the cooking grid. This ensures they will smolder, which produces the
best smoke taste, and it keeps them from burning up quickly during
cooking.
Plate Setters
The
Plate Setter is used for indirect cooking on the Big Green Egg. It is a
ceramic heat shield that functions by providing a barrier between the
food and the fire. The design of the Plate Setter (a flat ceramic disc
with three "legs") allows sufficient airflow around the surface while
preventing the flames and direct heat of the fire from reaching the
food. Nothing will contribute greater versatility to your outdoor
cooking than adding a Plate Setter to your accessories collection.
The
Plate Setter can be used several different ways, with the legs facing
up or down. With the legs facing down, the legs rest directly on the
Fire Ring and the Plate Setter provides a cooking surface at the lip
level of the bottom half of the Big Green Egg. In this position you
place a baking stone on top of the Plate Setter and, in effect, turn
the Big Green Egg into a brick oven. This set-up is great for pizza,
bread, pie or any other dish that you would bake. Chocolate chip
cookies are a favorite on the Big Green Egg.
The Plate Setter
can also be placed on the Fire Ring with the legs facing up. In this
position, simply place the cooking grid on the three ceramic legs and
turn your Big Green Egg into a convection oven. You can place a roast
directly on the cooking grid or in a V-Rack. Clean up is easy because
the ceramic Plate Setter is self cleaning from the heat inside the
EGG®, but you can also set a Drip Pan directly on the Plate Setter.
In
the legs up position, you can add one of several Grill Extenders to the
cooking grid; you now have multiple levels of cooking. With the
convection effect of the Plate Setter, all levels of meat will cook
evenly without turning.
If you are cooking an oversized turkey
on a Vertical Turkey Roaster, take out the Fire Ring and place the
Plate Setter on the Fire Box with the legs up. This lowers the cooking
surface to give you much more room for an extra large turkey.
Whether
you are baking or roasting, the Plate Setter is a great EGGcessory and
it should be one of the first supplementary purchases you make!
The
Plate Setter for the XL is slightly different than the others. The XL
Plate Setter has shorter legs to better fit the dome of the XL EGG. It
can be used in the standard configuration or it can be inserted between
the Fire Box and the Fire Ring to provide for more air flow if desired.
Baking Stones
The
Big Green Egg is available with Baking Stones available for the XL,
Large and Medium EGGs. These stones are great for pizzas, breads,
cookies, and help to turn your Big Green Egg into a fire brick oven.
Ash Tool
An
Ash Tool is used to remove the ash that collects at the bottom of the
EGG. Using the bar at the end of the Ash Tool, you simply pull the ash
out of the Stainless Steel Draft Door into a fireproof receptacle that
can be easily emptied.
EGG Ash Pan
Although
the natural lump charcoal used to fuel the EGG produces little ash and
requires minimal clean-up to begin with, the task becomes even easier
with the new EGG Ash Pan. The wide-mouthed, metal Ash Pan can be hooked
onto the vent door directly against the base of the grill. Ashes are
then scraped into the practical tool just as you would with a dust pan.
The pan slides out easily, allowing you to dispose of ashes with
greater convenience and no mess. The EGG Ash Pan fits the XLarge, Large
or Medium EGGs.
Temperature Gauge
An
external Temperature Gauge is installed on the lid of the Big Green
Egg. It measures the temperature inside the EGG to allow you to achieve
the exact temperature you want, from below 250°F for smoking to over
750°F for searing. This Gauge shows the temperature in both Farenheit
and Celsius.
Instant Read Thermometer
This
thermometer is inserted into food for a quick reading of the internal
temperature of food, then removed immediately. A glass bezel and red
dial provide for easy temperature reading.
Instant Read Digital
Thermometer
The
Instant Read Digital Thermometer gives you a quick digital readout of
the internal temperature of foods. This thermometer should be removed
immediately after reading it.
Digital Probe Thermometer
This
premium unit allows you to insert the probe into the food and extend
the wire out between the base and the lid of the EGG to monitor the
temperature from the outside with a digital readout. You have the
ability to set low and high temperature alarms and it has a built-in
timer.
Drip Pans
The
Drip Pans feature an easy to clean, non-stick surface and have the Big
Green Egg logo embossed in the bottom of the pan. The 13-inch x 9-inch
Rectangular Drip Pan works perfectly with the V-Rack for cooking
turkey, roasts, chickens and other larger cuts of meat. The 9-inch
Round Drip Pan is just right under either the Vertical Chicken Roaster
or the Vertical Turkey Roaster.
Dutch Oven
The
cast iron Dutch Oven is ideal for cooking stews, soups and chili or
even applesauce in the Big Green Egg. You can also boil, simmer and
even bake cobblers in it. It holds 5 quarts and has a bail handle.
Porcelain Coated Cooking Grids
If
you're using the Large or XL EGG® to cook fish or small foods like
mushrooms, shrimp or scallops that might fall through the regular
cooking grid, use the 16-inch x 12-inch cooking grid or the 16-inch
round cooking grid to enjoy all the benefits of the EGG without being
concerned about food falling into the coals. The grids are made of
porcelain coated steel and have perforations to ensure the heat and
taste reach the food.
Wok Topper
The
12-inch square Wok Topper fits the XL and Large EGGs and makes it easy
to cook cut-up or julienne vegetables, meat or seafood stir frys,
chicken tenders or any other smaller pieces of food that might slip
through the regular cooking grid. It is made from porcelain coated
steel and has perforations to ensure the food will absorb the same
wonderful taste it would on the regular cooking grid.
Dual Function Metal Top
Although
a ceramic top is included with the Big Green Egg, many cooks prefer to
use the Dual Function Metal Top which has two controls to allow for
precise temperature setting. There is a larger slide for broad
temperature changes and a smaller daisy wheel for finer adjustments.
Using the Dual Function Metal Top in conjunction with the Stainless
Steel Draft Door you can easily maintain very accurate temperatures in
the EGG®.
Spring-Assisted Band
Opening
and closing the EGG is easy with the use of the Spring-Assisted Band.
The lid can be held open with one hand without having to use any type
of locking mechanism. Comes with all sizes except Mini.
Replacement Felt Gasket Kits
Replacement
felt gasket kits are available for all of the EGGs. They come with easy
to follow directions and enough self-adhesive gasket material to cover
the rim of both the Lid and the Base. The gasket material will melt at
1100°F so be sure and pay attention during high-temperature cooking.
Fire Grate
The Cast Iron Fire Grate holds the lump charcoal at the bottom of the
Fire Box.
Fire Box
The
Fire Box sits at the bottom of the EGG and holds the Fire Grate. The
Fire Ring sits on top of the Fire Box. You should fill the Lump
Charcoal up to the top of the Fire Box for most cooking occasions.
Fire Ring
The
Fire Ring sits on top of the Fire Box and the Cooking Grid rests on top
of it. The optional 2-inch ceramic Fire Ring can be used as an
accessory for different set ups in the EGG and is used as the base for
the 3-Tier Cooking System.
Stainless Steel Draft Doors
Current
Stainless Steel Draft Doors have three parts and include a mesh screen
for extra safety. If you have a Stainless Steel Draft Door without a
screen, Mesh Screens are available as an add-on accessory.
Porcelain Coated Grid
The Porcelain Coated Cooking Grid rests on the Fire Ring and is used as
the primary cooking surface.
Big Green Egg Grid Cleaner
With
a total length of 23 inches and a comfortable red oak handle, it allows
you to clean the grid even when it is hot. The angled design makes
cleaning the top and sides of the cooking grid a breeze. The grid then
quickly wipes clean with a cloth or paper towel.
Porcelain Grid Cleaner
This dual-spiral metal cleaner easily and effectively cleans a
Porcelain Grid without scratching or chipping it.
Flexible Skewers
A
set of two flexible skewers have a stay-cool handle that hangs outside
the grill. When marinating, the skewers fit in a bowl or bag so all of
your food is covered.
Pigtail Meat Flipper
Meat
turned with a flip. The length of the Pigtail allows for turning meat
without getting too close to the flame, even when cooking at extremely
high temperatures. Steaks, chicken and pork tenderloin can be turned on
the grill with ease.
Platter
The
Big Green Egg logo on this 18-inch china serving platter makes it a fun
conversation piece for EGG® enthusiasts and their guests.
Seasonings & Sauces
The
Big Green Egg is available with four unique tastes of rubs and
seasonings to cover all your needs. Our custom Big Green Egg Private
Label Blend is a versatile all around seasoning. Sweet Maple, Green
Garlic & Pepper, and Green Pecan round out the collection. Try
each
of them.
Cotton Mitt
The
Big Green Egg Cotton Mitt provides stylish protection when handling hot
items around your EGG.
Sure Grip Oven Mitt
Neoprene
provides for effective heat insulation up to 500° F and has good
gripping qualities. This neoprene glove is a don't-want-to-be-without
EGGcessory that will provide protection time and time again.
Books
The
new and improved Instruction Manual that comes with your EGG® will also
have the green Warranty Card which you should fill out and return to
the Company. This book provides general instructions for the EGG and
contains a collection of tried and true "Getting Started" recipes.
The
EGGtoberfest Cookbook provides a collection of recipes, some more
complex, that are generously shared by the many EGGheads who cook their
favorites for everyone to taste at the Annual Atlanta EGGtoberfest.
CD/DVD
The
CD/DVD that comes with all new EGGs is a DVD on one side and an
interactive CDROM on the other side. It is designed to tell you
virtually anything you need to know about the EGG, from unpacking and
assembly to lighting the charcoal, learning how to control
temperatures, suggestions for smoking foods, and use of the various
EGGcessories. Highly regarded chef Kevin Rathbun, who owns several
topnotch restaurants in Atlanta, also demonstrates a number of easy
recipes to familiarize EGG owners with the various cooking techniques
that can be employed when cooking in the EGG.
This CD/DVD can be
played in a regular DVD player or using your computer's CDROM drive.
The advantage of the CDROM version is that you can also print recipes
or instructions you wish to use.
We also offer an EGGtoberfest
DVD that gives you a peek at the fun and camaraderie shared by those
attending our festive annual celebration. You'll see the variety of
foods cooked at the event on hundreds of EGGs and you'll hear
interviews with many of our enthusiastic Big
Green Egg owners.
