Long distance cooking
Set up your cook and the EGG Genius will take care of it for you. Handy if you have other things to be getting on with, or if tending to your EGG on a cold, wet day doesn’t appeal. For the longest low and slow recipes, you could even take yourself to bed!
Perfect results at your fingertips
The app tracks and automatically adjusts the temperature of the EGG as well as monitoring the temperature of your food. If you want to change the temperature settings at any point, you can do so remotely.
Practice makes perfect
The app logs all the data about your cook, so you can refer to it in the future if you want to replicate results or make any adjustments. Ideal if you’re trying to master the perfect brisket.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The EGG Genius clips neatly into the Draft Door. Two wires then feed into the EGG. One wire ends with a clip that connects to the cooking grid and measures the ambient temperature of the EGG. The other ends with a probe for insertion into your food (with an adaptor, you can have as many as three of these probes).
The device contains a small but highly efficient fan. If it detects that the temperature needs to be increased, the fan sends a carefully regulated flow of air into the EGG. It can also lower the temperature when necessary, simply by stopping this airflow. Genius, even if we do say so ourselves.
Cook to temperature, not time
This is a bit of a mantra round these parts. While recipes give a good indication of how long a dish will take to cook, it’s only by checking internal temperatures that you’ll get reliable results. For perfect results, here’s what to aim for:
POULTRY
Poultry legs: 72°C
Poultry breast: 72°C
PORK
Roasted: 62°C
Pullable: 93°C
BEEF
Rare: 50°C
Medium-rare: 54°C
Medium: 60°C
Medium-well: 65°C
Well done (if you must): 70°C
LAMB, GOAT or MUTTON
Medium: 60°C
Well done (if you must): 70°C
Pullable: 93°C
FISH
On or off the bone: 50°C

Brilliant!!

Does what it says on thecyin

The product does a great job of maintaining temperature; if you place the probe in the right position. I found out the hard way that when using the conveggtor, a placement too close to the edge results in a 20 degree misread and it does not heat up enough. This is user error though, so be sure to do your homework! The WiFi connection is problematic and I had to enable WiFi Agile Multiband in my access point settings to get it to connect. Once this was done (after hours of trying to find the issue), no issues connecting, at all. For the price, I would expect the WiFi connectivity to be easier. Would be a valuable improvement if the app were able to estimate time to target temperature, but it is fine just checking in now and then on the app to see progress.
FAQs
No, the EGG Genius must be connected to a power socket.
Yes! You’ll need to purchase a Y-Cable along with the additional probe which will allow you to connect two meat probes and a pit probe. Additional probes can be purchased here
