How to cook a perfect roast

Réussir un rôti

Roasting means cooking indirectly for over 20 minutes at around 200°C. Low & slow and hot smoking are variations at lower temperatures.

  1. Light the EGG and let the ceramic heat up.
  2. Near your target temperature, place the convEGGtor on the fire ring.
  3. Place the stainless steel grid on top and close the dome.
  4. When you are 10°C from your target, adjust both vents in small increments.
  5. About ten minutes later, your EGG is ready.


Our tips

  • Pour broth or wine into the drip pan right from the start: the juices won't burn and you'll have the base for your sauce.
  • For crispy skin all over, elevate the meat using the Vertical Roaster or a roasting rack.
  • No foil: the dome already retains flavor and moisture, and foil prevents browning.
