I need to put together some information about the Egg and ceramic cookers, and I'd like to pick your brains to make sure I have some good information. I'll tell you what this is all about if it all works out later. So, if it's ok with youse guys, I'd like to ask a few questions over the next couple of days and get your ideas.[p]Question number 1:[p]What are some of the more unusual things you cook on ceramic cookers that you normally might not think of doing on a grill or a smoker? For example, I think paella fits into this category. Cooking your Thanksgiving turkey does not. I'm looking for things that will generate the reaction, "Wow! You cooked THAT on an Egg?"[p]Thanks!

The Naked Whiz,
I think stuff like breads, deserts, corn in the husks would be a start. Lasagna.
-
The Naked Whiz,
I would think cooking with a wok would count as I can not see doing this on a grill. Another item would be bread, biscuit and cake baking.
Everyday is Saturday and tomorrow is always Sunday. -
So Lasagna on the Egg is my unusual contribution.

The Naked Whiz,[p] I have to agree with the WOK, or my Dutch Ovens. People at Greenwood were amazed watching me cook Stir-Fried Veggie in the WOK. My dutch oven breakfast fascinated more then a few.[p]
-
The Naked Whiz,[p]I love the reaction from people when I make cookies. I usually make oatmeal and peanut butter (they are two separate cookies, not one peanut oatmeal cookie). At the last Eggfest in Waldorf, I made Cinnamon roles and they were a hit too![p]Smokey

The Naked Whiz,
I second things in a crock pot, like stews... any desserts like Spawns Brownies and what about smoked cheese? Jerky?
-
The Naked Whiz,[p]I agree with Celtic Wolf... Dutch oven cooking for sure... Beef stew, roast, etc...[p]Thanks..

Smokey,[p]Didn't you also make little muffins (strawberry?) at the last eggtoberfest?
-
The Naked Whiz,[p]I roast all kinds of vegetables in disposable foil pans at temps about 500. My favorites are fresh okra sprinkled with diced garlic, drizzled with olive oil and salted to taste. I do the same thing with fresh asparagus and sliced mushrooms. Might not be unusual though, except for the okra. LET'S HERE IT FOR OKRA!
-
AlaskanC,[p]I think so, but I don't remember everything I made WAY BACK THEN.[p]I like venturing on the Non-meat side of things ... everyone else is making meat or chicken (or salmon/tofu)!

Morning The Naked Whiz:[p]Here's one we did just a few nights ago. Grilled salad -- started with Romaine lettuce, split length-wise. Added some Robust Italian Dressing and grated Asiago cheese. [p][p]On the main grid at about 350, "back" side first. After about 2 minutes flip over to "sliced" side down for another 90 seconds. Take off, add some more grated cheese, cut it up and make a very nice salad.[p][p]Definitely a different way to have lettuce, and in my opinion, very tasty.[p]Another of "one of my most unusual meals" is spaghetti and meatballs.[p]See link below.[p]Have a GREAT day!

The Naked Whiz,[p]I cooked brats and lamb at Smitty's first ever California Eggfest. [p]People lined up for samples, were impressed, and said nice things about both.[p]But when my wife presented a strawberry crisp, people stood in a long line for samples. Many questioned that a dessert could be done on a ceramic cooker, while shoveling strawberry crisp into their mouths.[p]And actually, I think desserts are the most unusual, and unexpected, product from a ceramic cooker. [p]I will always think that the ceramic is a superior every-day cooking machine. I think that is were it's place is most appreciated. [p]But for unusual, breads (without having to build a kiln, fire it over night, remove the coals, and bake) and desserts, are a benefit that is generally under appreciated.

The Naked Whiz,
I make monkey bread for breakfast. The next door neighbors can now recognise the smell and show up with coffee cups in hand.
-
The Naked Whiz,
Pizza is dooable on a gasser or other grill, but they cannot match a BGE/ceramic. Lots of great pictures.

The Naked Whiz,
I just finished baking some Italian herb and cheese scones that were made from a King Arthurs mix. Once the scones were done,sliced in half than put Kraukus ham and imported swiss cheese inside, back on the egg till melted. Un-believible.

The Naked Whiz,
last night had some fresh Maine blueberries and made a Deep dish blueberry pie.
-
The Naked Whiz,
I only wish I could match these contributions! But I think it's worth saying that I've been spreading the word that the whole family better learn to make EVERYTHING on my Eggs because The Big One (earthquake) is overdue!
