Sear and roast simultaneously
The combination of cooking surfaces in this pack allows you to use direct and indirect cooking modes at the same time.
Restaurant-grade cast iron
The Cast Iron Searing Grids hold heat to a restaurant standard, ensuring you get only the deepest charmarks and richest flavours from steaks, vegetables and fish.
Easy to set up
Position the ConvEGGtor basket in the base of your EGG, and the half-moon surfaces will slot in on top in whatever combination your recipe calls for.
THE EGGSPANDER SYSTEM
In the EGGspander system, the ConvEGGtor Basket acts as a frame into which a variety of cooking surfaces can be slotted, across two different levels. It also supports a Multi-Level Rack, which provides a third level of elevation. Because many of the EGGspander surfaces are semi-circular, you can have different modes working on each half of the EGG. You could, for example, roast on the left and grill on the right. Bake on the left and pan cook on the right. The possibilities are almost endless.

FAQs
It couldn’t be easier. Once your Fire Box is filled with charcoal, insert the ConvEGGtor Basket. Then add in either a Half Moon Baking Stone (for indirect cooking), a Cast Iron Searing Grid (for direct cooking), or a combination of the two. By mixing and matching, you can cook with two types of heat at once.
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.
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.
