BARBECUE SEASON WINTER

When the weather gets colder, do you still light the coals in your faithful Big Green Egg? Or do you only enjoy dishes prepared on the grill in spring, summer, and autumn? What a waste! There's no shortage of fresh ingredients and seasonal dishes in the winter months that taste even better when cooked on a grill. Prepared in the Big Green Egg ceramic kamado grill, they will acquire a richer taste and pleasant aroma. So, with the Big Green Egg, you can grill even in the colder months of the year.

 

 

WINTER – GRILLING SEASON

 

Not long ago, grilling season ended with the first frosts. However, with the appearance of ceramic Big Green Egg grills, everything has changed. Instead of enjoying meals prepared on the grill for just a few months, the Big Green Egg can be enjoyed all year round. The Big Green Egg is made of unique heat-retaining ceramic. This means that the outdoor temperature does not affect the temperature inside the grill. Whether it's raining or snowing, the temperature in the Big Green Egg always remains stable. To be sure, you can also protect the grill with a special rain cover. So, even when it's freezing outside, you can confidently light the coals in your Big Green Egg kamado grill and cook a delicious stew or a hearty soup, or even host a winter grill party for your loved ones.

 

Whether the sun is shining or it's snowing, you can cook on the EGG in all seasons, all year round. Grilling only in summer? Think again! Big Green Egg has changed all that. Because why should you enjoy your EGG only a few months a year when you can do it 365 days a year?

 

Grilling in winter – hot

 

Thanks to the unique insulating ceramic, the outdoor temperature is completely irrelevant. The temperature in the Big Green Egg will be stable and unaffected by rain or snow. Time to grill in winter! Are you already craving a delicious winter stew, a hearty roast, or soup and simply can't wait to organize a winter barbecue for friends or family? We will give you delicious inspiration and some useful tips.

 

Perfect ingredients for a winter evening

 

In the winter months, there are various seasonal ingredients and dishes that will be even tastier if you prepare them in your Big Green Egg. For example, sauerkraut or Brussels sprouts and root vegetables such as beetroot, cabbage, and celery. And, of course, don't forget venison. Perhaps a beautiful piece of venison, pheasant, rabbit, hare, or wild boar? These are perfect ingredients for cozy comfort food on cold winter evenings.

 

Low-temperature cooking – the best choice

 

In cold and unpleasant weather, of course, you like to sit inside by the fireplace with a glass of wine and a soft blanket. And if you're hosting a party, you want to socialize with your guests. No problem! Choose dishes that you can prepare in advance, and that cook longer and don't require much intervention. This way, you can relax and let the Big Green Egg do all the work for you. Leave pork neck, a piece of bacon, or a large piece of other meat to cook at a low temperature for many hours. And then enjoy a delicious meal. This is how low-temperature cooking becomes cooking in the snow!

 

Cooking and braising vegetables

 

Cooking vegetables in the Big Green Egg also yields delicious results and falls into the same category of low-temperature cooking. This way, you can easily serve a complete winter dish on the table. Or prepare a stew – you'll never go wrong. Sauté the ingredients in a cast-iron pot, add liquid, and let it simmer. The weather forecast promises a dry and sunny winter day? Then you can start grilling, baking a roast, or tackle a complex winter barbecue recipe. This way, you can enjoy the fresh air with your Big Green Egg.
