Franck Dangereux

The Food Barn

“There’s simply no better way to roast a chicken; an oven doesn’t come close to the flavours you get with charcoal. And because the Egg heats consistently and is controllable, you get a chicken with a lovely crisp skin and moist, tender meat inside.” …more

Jörg Pfützner

Fine Wine Events

“I love cooking meat but I know friends who are cooking pizzas and all sorts of things on their Eggs. I like to cook ostrich or fish as a starter with the Egg good and hot, then sear a large piece of meat, lower the temperature and leave it for hours until it’s literally falling off the bone.” …more

Peter Tempelhoff

Relais & Chateaux

“I love my Egg – it’s so versatile and controllable. Definitely a good investment for anyone who wants to get excellent results from their outdoor cooking. You don’t have to be a chef to use one, once you get the hang of it, anyone can use it and start experimenting with the other features.” …more

Marc Kent

Boekenhoutskloof Winemaker

“With the Egg, I can set the temperature exactly and it will do its thing for hours and hours on a really small amount of charcoal. I get the brisket in first thing in the morning and by the time evening rolls around that meat is just falling off the bone.”…more
