What is a Steel Egg Grill
A Steel Egg Grill is a ceramic, egg-shaped barbecue of Japanese origin. In recent years, they have become a lot more popular amongst traditional barbecue users,
thanks to their versatility, ease of use, simple maintenance, and visual appeal. With a Steel Egg Grill, you can cook your food altogether or separately.
Traditionally, a charcoal Steel Egg Grill is a Japanese earthenware cooking vessel. The most common version today is a hinged ceramic pot with grates and airflow
control ports. Because of this construction, they are often referred to as ceramic grills. While very simple in their design, the quality of the food they
produce has generated a cult following.
The Steel Egg Grill Key Features:
Heavy Duty Ceramics
Most Steel Egg Grills feature a heavy-duty refractory ceramic that has been industrially designed for maximum durability and insulation.
The heavy ceramic material absorbs and radiates heat evenly back into the food which is why they make excellent pizza and bread ovens, just like
a professional brick oven would. What's more, much like the ancient pyramids of Egypt, the ceramic material is designed for the long haul -
if properly maintained, your children will inherit your Steel Egg Grill.
Fuel-Efficient
Another direct benefit of the heavy ceramic construction is the Steel Egg Grill's fuel efficiency. Because the thick sides retain heat so well,
very little charcoal and oxygen are necessary to continue to fuel the fire - perfect for long, slow cooks or die-hard grillers who cook throughout
the cold winter. Dampers used to control the intake and exhaust create an airflow that produces a steady flame when the lid is closed.
Temperatures stay extremely consistent which makes the Steel Egg Grill an excellent choice for smoking ribs, brisket, or pulled pork at low, slow
and steady temperatures.
Versatile Cooking Methods
Beyond fuel efficiency, Steel Egg Grills have been designed to accommodate a broad spectrum of cooking methods. Accessories like a ceramic heat deflector turn
a Steel Egg Grill from a direct grill to an indirect cooker, much like an oven or smoker. Add a firebox divider to create two distinct cooking zones for a true
2-zone setup. With various accessories and setups, a Steel Egg Grill can bake, roast, smoke, sear, saute, grill, and much more.
Important Notes About Steel Egg Grills
It's also very important that you never use lighter fluids or any chemical starters to light your charcoal fire. The ceramic material is porous so it can absorb
the lighter fluid and can impart those flavors and chemicals into your food. In short, it can damage the material and degrade its integrity.
Cleaning Steel Egg Grills is simple and they're easy to maintain - the most important aspect is to remember to remove the ashes after several uses to make sure
the airflow isn't being disturbed or it can interfere with proper combustion.
The Steel Egg Grill features a well-designed airflow to eliminate any loss of heat. For this reason, opening a Steel Egg Grill too quickly could result in a
quick influx of oxygen that creates a rush of fuel for the fire and, poof! No more eyebrows. Always use caution when opening your Steel Egg Grill to avoid
that scenario.
The Bottom Line About Steel Egg Grills
Steel Egg Grills have emerged as serious contenders for the most versatile grilling machine. Their ability to transform from high-heat roaster to low, slow smoker
is nothing short of delicious and is a great choice for anyone's first grill because it's such an adaptable cooker - plus they last forever.
