Big Green Egg Dealer Dallas TX: What The Big Green Egg Can Do

If you love to barbecue and you’ve never heard of the Big Green Egg or BGE, the best ceramic cooker on the market, it’s time you discovered what you’re missing by visiting your Big Green Egg dealer Dallas TX, Jackson’s Home & Garden.  What makes the BGE so special?  Its design is based on traditional Japanese kamado ceramic ovens and BGE lovers, who call themselves Eggheads, will tell you that they light faster than other grills, require less charcoal and hold and distribute heat more evenly than standard grills, which makes meat cooked on them extremely moist and succulent.  The other feature that Eggheads like about their Big Green Eggs is their versatility.  BGEs can be used to cook in a variety of ways that include:

Big Green Egg Grill Dallas:  Grilling And Searing

Grilling on the BGE is fairly simple and straightforward and is the most common way the Big Green Egg is used for cooking.  Charcoal is placed in the firebox and lit, using paraffin, electric or other fire starters; then the cooking grid is placed on top of the fire ring and your BGE is ready to grill.  The high temperatures you can get with your Egg means you can get a great sear on your meat.

Big Green Egg Dallas TX:  Indirect-Heat Cooking And Smoking

Smoking and indirect cooking on the Big Green Egg requires the plate setter accessory, a 3-legged ceramic circle that creates a firewall between the charcoal and the food.  This cooking technique produces the most dramatic results because the flavor and tenderness of meat cooked “low and slow” are unmatched.  Not only does the place setter ensure that food doesn’t cook too quickly, it also ensures that it cooks evenly so that there’s no rotation needed.  If you use your BGE to smoke or for indirect-heat cooking you only need to light a small portion of your charcoal because it will burn slowly across the firebox for many hours.

Big Green Egg Dealer Dallas TX:  Baking

Unlike standard grills, the Big Green Egg can be used like a brick oven or even like a tandoor, a traditional Indian oven.  Pizza and bread baked in the BGE have the same flavor you’d get from a brick oven because it can achieve even higher temperatures than your gas or electric oven.  As with smoking, baking requires the plate setter accessory.  A baking stone can also be used for the best results possible.  The plate setter is placed legs-up on the fire ring with the cooking grid on top of it.  The baking stone is placed on top of the grid and allowed to preheat for about a half hour.  If a stone is unavailable, a metal baking sheet with do.
