ConvEGGtor Basket for Medium

With direct cooking modes such as grilling, the food is cooked directly over the heat of coals. Using the same exceptional ceramics as the EGG itself, the ConvEGGtor blocks this direct heat and deflects it around the Dome, creating an environment similar to a convection oven. Indirect cooking opens the door to pizza, roasts, slow cooks, cakes, pastries and much, much more.

No. The ConvEGGtor Basket is part of the 5 Piece EGGspander so you don’t need to order this separately.

What is direct cooking?

When you cook at a high temperature in direct contact with the cooking surface, that's searing. This cooking mode falls under the "direct heat" category, as whether you're using a searing grid, skillet, or plancha griddle, you'll be utilising the heat without anything blocking or deflecting it around the dome of the EGG.

What is indirect cooking?

When you're cooking directly, the flames cook your food. That's good for smaller items that take less time to cook or for things that can easily be flipped over. However, if you've got a large cut of meat with lots of connective tissue to break down, a loaf of bread that requires consistent, even heat all around, or something you're looking to roast or smoke at a very low temperature, direct cooking won't cut it for you.

By placing a ConvEGGtor into your Firebox (or by using the EGGspander System), you block the direct heat and deflect it around the dome of your EGG. Thanks to the EGG's careful design and amazing ceramics, this heat bounces back to your food, cooking it indirectly.
