Essential Big Green Egg Cleaning Products
Grill Brushes: High-quality stainless steel or brass bristle brushes with long handles for safe cleaning. Essential for removing food residue from cooking grates after every use. Replace regularly to avoid loose bristles.
Scrapers: Plastic or metal scrapers for removing stubborn buildup from grates, convEGGtor, and pizza stones. Brush-free scrapers are a safe alternative to bristle brushes.
Ash Tools: Specialised tools for safely removing ash from the firebox. Long handles keep hands away from residual heat. Essential for maintaining proper airflow.
Exterior Cleaners: Non-abrasive cleaners designed for ceramic surfaces. Keep the exterior looking pristine without damaging the finish.
Metal Care Products: Rust prevention and removal products for bands, hinges, and hardware. Protect metal components from UK weather.
Big Green Egg Cleaning Best Practices
After Every Cook: Clean cooking grates whilst still warm using a grill brush. This prevents buildup and makes cleaning easier.
Every 3-5 Cooks: Remove ash from the firebox when buildup restricts airflow. Leave a thin layer (1cm) at the bottom to protect ceramic and aid airflow.
Once or Twice Yearly: Deep clean the interior by running the EGG at maximum temperature (400°C+) for 30 minutes to burn off accumulated grease and residue.
As Needed: Wipe exterior ceramic and metal components with a damp cloth. Dry metal parts immediately to prevent rust.
What NOT to Use on Your Big Green Egg
Never Use Water Inside: The porous ceramic absorbs liquids, affecting flavour and potentially cracking when heated. Interior surfaces are self-cleaning at high temperatures.
No Harsh Chemicals: Avoid oven cleaner, chemical degreasers, or harsh cleaners. These damage ceramic, contaminate food, and void your warranty.
No Soap on Cast Iron: Soap removes seasoning from cast iron grates. Use only brushes and high heat for cleaning.
No Abrasive Cleaners: Avoid abrasive cleaners or pressure washers on exterior ceramic - they damage the finish.
Self-Cleaning Features
The Big Green Egg's ceramic construction and high temperatures make it largely self-cleaning. Running the EGG at 260-400°C+ burns off grease and food residue naturally. The convEGGtor, pizza stones, and interior surfaces clean themselves through heat. This reduces the need for chemicals and makes maintenance simple.
