Splash-Proof Super-Fast Thermapen - Instant Read Thermometer, Perfect for Barbecue, Home and Professional Cooking

The Super-Fast Thermapen has been a favorite among restaurant chains, health inspectors and quality managers worldwide. Hundreds of thousands are in use. The clever fold-away probe and the simple pocket design replace more costly and bulky handheld thermometers while using the same professional thermocouple technology. This new generation Thermapen introduces a robust, splash-proof design with molded-in seals to protect the thermometer from wet hands and kitchen splashes. SPEED & ACCURACY - Even more accurate than before and slightly faster! Our proprietary circuit yields accuracies better than ±0.7°F. That includes all errors! (many competitors don't include the probe error in their spec.) Each unit comes with a NIST-Traceable certificate of calibration showing test results for the individual thermometer. Resolution is now 0.1° over the full range. Improvements in the probe technology now yield a blazing fast speed of 3 seconds to a full temperature reading. NO CABLES! - The components most likely to fail in a commercial thermometer are the cable and its connector. Also, the typical handheld meter and probe combination requires two hands. What do you do with the cable when you're through with it? The competition want you to wrap it around the meter, which is time consuming and a natural trap for grime and bacteria! The one-handed Thermapen eliminates frayed cables, snags, germ traps and wasted time while freeing your second hand. SIMPLE OPERATION - Just open the probe and the Thermapen comes on. Close it and it shuts off. No buttons or switches to catch germs, confuse staff and cause errors. Configuration settings in the battery compartment allow management to easily set the Thermapen for °C or °F, read in tenths or whole degrees (0.1° or 1°), and disable the auto-off for continuous readings till the probe is closed. Although likely to never be needed, a calibration trim button fine-tunes the unit calibration at a single temperature such as an ice-bath.

  • 3-second readings!
  • Improved accuracy and durability

  • Biomaster anti-bacterial additive
  • Fahrenheit or Celsius readings - 0.1 degree resolution for the full range - 572 degrees F

I've tried other thermometers, but got frustrated waiting endlessly while they slowly ticked upward. I don't have that problem with the Thermapen. With the others, I spent too much time with my head in the oven (and the heat getting out) and it finally occurred to me that I'd be better off paying for a really good FAST thermometer that would work in a variety of settings. I bake bread and like to check the internal temperature of large loaves to ensure proper doneness, but don't much want a big hole in the bottom. The probe on the Thermapen is very slender so the hole is significantly smaller than when I've used the others.

Another thing I like is that when you open the Thermapen, it's instant on, close it and it's off. The changeable battery is easily accessible when, and if, you need to change it, ensuring a very long life.

One bonus for me is that I may be cooking a single serving of something so there isn't much space to insert a thermometer. The sensor in this probe is quite near the end so you don't have to insert it very far to get a good reading. The only thing I don't like is that being left-handed, the display is on the wrong side for me, so I have to consciously think to hold it in my right hand in order to read it.

I ended up with my multitude of probe thermometers because none of them really did the job satisfactorily. Happily, this thermometer is really effective. While I don't plan to get it wet, who knows, the kitchen is a volatile place, so I decided to spend a little more for the water resistant version to ensure that wouldn't be a problem. It doesn't clip on to a pan so doesn't work for candy, but I've used it for just about everything else and am very satisfied.

  • designed to easily and safely remove hot cooking grill grids.

OK, no one really needs a grill gripper, do they. That is why we have pliers in our tool boxes at home or long handled grill forks. But you know, this thing really works, makes lifting the grill convenient (you will need gloves to hold it though when the charcoal is already hot because this gripper is a short handled one) and you do not have to clean the grill goo off of it when you are done. And if you can afford the Egg in the first place, the price of ths tool will not kill you.

Big Green Egg Plate Setter - Large

Big Green Egg's Plate Setter is a flat ceramic disc with three legs that prevents direct heat or flair up on the cooking surface. The Plate Setter is designed to leave enough room around the sides to allow for adequate air flow around the cooking surface. 

Big Green Egg's Plate Setter can be used with the feet standing up or down. Set the feet down to provide a flat surface to lay a pizza or cooking stone to cook pizzas or cookies on! Turn the legs upright to set up an optimal convection oven style cook. Simply place the roast directly on top of the plate setter, or lay in a rib rack, sittin' chicken, vertical chicken or turkey stand for indirect slow cooking of meat or poultry. If you are using the vertical turkey stand you may need to remove the fire ring and set everything else down lower in the grill to make enough room for the turkey. 

The plate setter is one of the best and most widely used accessories that the Big Green Egg offers. Since indirect cooking is the best way to keep food flavor and juices in tack, Green Egg recommends that the plate setter be one of the first accessories purchased for your grill. Fits the Large Big Green Egg.

Big Green Egg Electric Starter.(big green egg accessories)


big green egg accessories

I use this beastie all of the time. It works in the cold of the Northeastern winter just as well as the Green Egg does. The cord is SHORT, like all of these electric starter brands seem to be, grumble, but this gets your charcoal going in a hurry. And it fits in the bowl of the Egg perfectly. Just like it is made to.

Every husband or wife who cooks on the Big Green Egg should have one of these to start the cooking process. We got this item in a timely manner, and it was in excellent condition. We are just waiting for my husband to use this Christmas surprise.

Anyone For Grilled Eggs on a Green Egg Grill? .(big green egg accessories)

big green egg accessories

Big Green Egg Grills (BGE) hatched in 1974 in a strip mall in Atlanta, Georgia. Ed Fisher borrowed the idea of an Oriental cooking concept with ceramics and gave birth to the Big Green Egg grill. BGE is the world's largest manufacturer of kamado-style cookers, with international distribution. It is the fastest growing category in the United States' barbecue industry and the EGG is available for purchase in over twenty countries. There are five sizes of EGG grills to choose from, with over one hundred accessories and products related to grilling available.
With television programs like The Today Show, The View and channels like HGTV and Chefs like Bobby Flay touting it, the marketing needs little more than word of mouth. A champion barbecue cheg, Dr. BBQ, uses the EGG exclusively around the country. The passion that owners of the grill have is contagious.
Because of the space age ceramic construction, this grill can be used year round, regardless of the climate. With five sizes from mini to extra large, you can easily find one that will suit your family's needs. You can also purchase extra stuff from BGE like utensils, pizza stones, lump charcoal and cooking space extenders.
It also comes with a DVD with cooking instructions for novice grill chefs. And if you want to make an impact, you can purchase coordinated apparel from BGE as well.
Benefits of the Big Green Egg grills include the following:
* You don't need lighter fluid and it will be hot enough to cook in 10 minutes
* The ceramic hood and bowl are design to retain heat and distribute it evenly.
* No extra charcoal is needed because you can reuse unburned charcoal
* Once the EGG is closed, there are no flare-ups
* The EGG's temperature tolerance is 0F to 1800F
* Grill during all 4 seasons
* Don't worry about the kids, the outside surface is always cool
* Ceramics don't rust
* Keeps meat nice and moist
You can make an entire meal on one of these grills. You sear, grill, or slow smoke on an EGG. Cook your side dishes too, like vegetables, bread, pizza and desserts. Just put in some natural lump coal turn it on and start cooking.
The largest EGG, the XL EGG has 425 sq inches of cooking surface. That equates to 24 hamburgers or 11 whole chickens, 12 steaks or 2 twenty pound turkeys. It'll also do 14 full racks of ribs at a time. The Large version has 255 sq inches and can handle 1 twenty pound turkey, 12 burgers and half a dozen chickens. That's still a lot of chickens
If you're looking for something a bit smaller, the Small EGG comes in at 133 square inches of grilling surface. That'll cook a 12 pound turkey, 4 burgers, a chicken, 2 steaks or a rack of ribs. If you want something portable, the Mini Big Green Egg is great for camp outs. It'll cook a couple of chicken breasts, a couple of pork chops or a steak.
Whatever your pleasure, you can find these internationally at locations that include Barbecues Galore, High Country Outfitters and Amazon.

Big Green Egg Grill - Smoking and BBQ.(big green egg accessories)

big green egg accessories
The great thing about the Big Green Egg Grill is the diversity of cooking choices that you have available to you, including the option of smoking foods, grilling, as well as outdoor baking.
The Green Egg Grill is a well designed barbecue that's easy to set up and very simple to use.  It is available in a number of different sizes, depending on the amount of cooking that you need to do.  It comes in a mini version, what they call an original version, large, and extra large.  Obviously the more food that you tend to cook with each barbecue, or the more guests that you entertain, then the more cooking space you need.  This will usually lead you to one of the larger models.  If you're in doubt give the company a call since their customer service is excellent.
This grill is very functional in all types of weather.  So even if you live in northern climates you can obtain great cooking results even in the middle of winter when it's snowing and cold.  The key is the unique shape and construction of the BBQ which uses ceramic for the walls.  The ceramic material can withstand very cold temperatures, and it also allows the grill to heat up to as much as 1800°F.  Of course when you're outside cooking in the middle of a snowstorm your next door neighbor may think that you're a bit odd, but they won't think so the next time you invite them over to try some of your barbecued food.
The construction of the Green Egg Grill allows it to maintain a consistent temperature for a long time even though you are using traditional charcoal.  For example, if you want to slow cook ribs or other meets at a very low temperature, say 250°F for several hours you don't have to worry about temperature variations nearly as much as you would with a normal BBQ.
This barbecue is very versatile and allows you to slow cook your food, but it's also great for smoking meats and grilling different types of vegetables and fish.  You can also use this grill to simulate a brick oven to cook pizzas with exceptionally flavorful.  Everyone's heard about the famous fire cooked pizzas in New York, and this grill can simulate those conditions with the extreme heating and brick ceramic walls.
As well, there are a number of accessories that are made specifically for this grill, including a walk gadget that allows you to stir fry rice or vegetables very easily.  Another accessory that many people will find useful is the handy fish great.  Grilling fish has always been a difficult thing for many people to master, because it is very easy to overcook fish and lose all of the flavor and enjoyment.  With this barbecue even the most novice chef should be able to create tender fish dishes with the slow consistent cooking.
This is a long-lasting product, and your investment should last for many years.  Conventional barbecues cannot come close to some of the flavors that are achievable with the Green Egg Grill.
