I just got a medium egg this season. It seems to cook a a lot faster than most recipes. I've checked the thermometer and have that correct. Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience or any general advice.

As I said I ignore times. It is done when it is done.

Have no idea what times you are comparing too or what you are cooking.Jerseygirrlll said:Thanks. Have you noticed cooking time is significantly less than most instructions in general?
But the Egg is more like a convection oven and a Egg that is pre heated will cook faster because of the radiant heat being put off by the ceramics.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas

Okay the first thing that I heard when I got my medium 11 years ago was to buy an instant read meat thermometer and to cook to internal temperature not to time. The temperature is measured where the dome thermometer is. Temperature varies according to the location in the Egg. You will gain experience with time.

Cooking times have gone down for me on both of mine. The meat is just as good and family gets to eat on time.
