Here is a sampling of what you can accomplish using the best cooking techniques.
Direct Grilling
When grilling direct, food is placed over the fire and cooked by direct exposure to the flame and heat. It’s the ideal way to cook steaks, chops, burgers, boneless chicken breasts, kabobs, fish fillets, many vegetables and other quick-cooking foods. And with a Stir-Fry & Paella Pan in place directly over the hot fire, you can make a tasty stir-fry in just minutes! Generally, foods that are tender, less than two inches thick and boneless are good candidates for direct grilling.
Direct grilling sears the exterior surface of the meat to form a delicious crust with the juices locked inside. Because of the ingenious design of the EGG and the fact that grilling is always done with the lid closed, flare-ups and hot spots are virtually eliminated.
For some foods, you will want to start out searing over high temperatures and then reduce the heat by adjusting the dampers to finish cooking.
