FAQs

You can make all sorts in a Cast Iron Dutch Oven. It works just as well as a sauté pan at high heats as it does as a slow cooker at low temperatures. This means you can do everything from browning meat to baking bread to making stews and casseroles. One of our favourites things to make in it is a classic chilli con carne. We say 'classic' but thanks to the Big Green Egg it's anything but, as the meat takes on a hint of charcoal smoke wich deepens and enriches the flavour. For a step-by-step guide to this recipe (plus many more), explore our Recipes area.

All of your iron products – including the rEGGulator from time to time – require a light brushing of oil. After use, clean your pan with hot water and a soft sponge. Avoid detergents or scrubbers, as these are likely to take off the seasoning you've built up; the same seasoning that helps prevent food from sticking and gives your cooks amazing flavour.

Instead, brush down after use with a non-abrasive cloth, and then season with sunflower or rapeseed oil, which have a high burning temperature and won’t leave a bitter taste.
