I just got my egg. What is the best thing to cook the first time?

  • Papa Bob,
    I would say the first thing to try would be chicken.
    I like the inverted plate setter with drip pan on it below the grill. If you are familiar with spatchcock chicken, I would to it that way. Spatchcock no more than cutting the back bone out of the chicken and spreading it open bone side down. I usually start out with my favorite rub. If you want to use a sauce, put it on about ten minutes before taking off the Egg. Yum Yum !!![p]Dome temp 350. Cook for hour and a half checking it about one hour and 15 minutes. I am sure you will find many more ways to do it on this forum, but I like this way. [p]Jerry

    <p />Papa Bob,
    First welcome, fine bunch of folks we have here.[p]It is going to have depend on your time frame. Along with the accessories you have. I jumped right in with 3 slabs of babybacks.[p]Steaks would be great choice also.[p]CWM[p]

  • Jerry Hubbard,[p]Thanks for the info...I have had chicken twice already this week and would like to try something else that is fairy simple.
  • Papa Bob, Spatchcocked chicken is the easiest and most amazing first time and last time meal you will ever cook and you will wonder WHY did I not buy an EGG 5,10,or 15 years ago.... If you hate chicken and/or are sick of
    eating yard birds... put this on your "must try" on Dr. Egg list of things to do.... my .02 cents... you will be AMAZED !!!

    <p />Papa Bob,
    Steaks are what I did the first time. Just remember if you do them, be careful about flashback. If you haven't seen the movie, here's a link:[p]TNW
