If you have an outdoor cook on your Christmas list, you have probably bought them little gadgets and accessories in the past for their passion for grilling. But, have you ever considered getting them a new grill for Christmas? If the grill master in your life has hinted about it being time for an upgrade, or if you just want to open their eyes to new possibilities in outdoor cooking, here are 5 reasons The Big Green Egg is the perfect Baton Rouge Christmas gift.
The Big Green Egg is the most versatile grill on the market.
Because of its Kamado design, The Big Green Egg allows you to not only grill, but to smoke, roast, broil, or bake on it. It can handle every facet of cooking from appetizer through dessert. While the thermometer on The Big Green Egg goes up to 750 degrees, many people have said they have gotten theirs well beyond that. But it isn’t the temperature that makes it so special. It’s the ability to control between direct and indirect heat that makes it so versatile. Also, the ventilation of the Big Green Egg was designed to retain moisture, giving you the juiciest meats and tastiest veggies.
The Big Green Egg comes in different sizes.
Seven different sizes, to be exact. If you are buying for someone who already has a grill but wants to upgrade, the X-Large or XX-Large is what you’re looking for. If they have a grill, but want something on the side that can smoke, bake, or roast as well, you might want something in a large, medium, or small. If you are looking for an egg they can take on the road to tailgate or camp out, the mini and minimax are great options.
In South Louisiana we can grill year round.
One of the benefits of living where we live is that as the days get shorter and the seasons change, the temperature doesn’t drop to a level where the outdoors are intolerable. In fact, when the air gets crisp, many people’s first instinct is to light a fire. This makes the Big Green Egg even more practical as a gift as there is no time when it can’t be useful.
You can give to receive.
If you are giving a Big Green Egg to someone who loves to cook, you know the first thing they’re going to want to do is cook something; and rest assured, they aren’t just cooking for themselves. In fact, as they get to know their Big Green Egg, and they learn more about different ways to use it, they will likely find excuses to take care of dinner, making The big Green Egg the gift that keeps on giving… to everyone!
The Big Green Egg is more than a grill. It’s a community.
There aren’t many barbeque pits, smokers, or grills that can stake claim to open forums or a message board where fans rave about their grills, swap questions and recipes, and communicate with each other over a shared love the appliance on which they cook. Big Green Egg owners can make that claim, with the eggheads and the egghead forum. In fact, Big Green Egg enthusiasts get together from time to time at Eggfests.
