The chef and his Big Green Egg
More than 2,000 European chefs light the charcoal in one or more Big Green Eggs in their restaurants every day. Some of these professionals explain to you personally what makes the Big Green Egg so special to them.
Lucki Maurer
STOI - Rattenberg, Germany
'Cooking on the Big Green Egg is original and authentic; it evokes pure emotion. Controlling the fire, playing with the heat and glow, all without modern techniques. The result is phenomenal. Everything I cook on it tastes fantastic. The quality of the product itself is also excellent. In my opinion, the Big Green Egg is the ultimate cooking appliance.'

Filip Stenius
Private Chef, Consultant - Helsinki, Finland
'The Big Green Egg is always ready for use, which is extremely important to me. Timing is everything in my field of expertise. We keep the EGG on standby at a low temperature, which consumes little charcoal. The moment we need the Big Green Egg, we open the air regulator and the rEGGulator and it quickly reaches the desired temperature.'

Jeroen Achtien
Inter Scaldes - Kruiningen, Netherlands
'The charcoal in the MiniMax in my kitchen is glowing for about 10 hours a day as standard, also during the preparation of lunch and dinner. We mainly use the Big Green Eggs for roasting, grilling and smoking. We don't actually do slow cooking in restaurant kitchens, because it takes up too much space. But I do use this technique at home, because I like to play with my Big Green Eggs there too.'

De Kromme Watergang - Hoofdplaat, Netherlands
“At De Kromme Watergang, we use the Big Green Egg during lunch or dinner to quickly smoke or grill something. Vegetables, a langoustine or a piece of fish, for example. It maintains a steady temperature all day long, so you can really rely on it. Plus, it adds extra flavour. It’s a piece of kit I genuinely wouldn’t want to be without anymore!”
