Great blog. Lots of great info and recipes that have inspired me to cook more on my egg. Just one question about the pizza setup. Why the parchment under the pizza? I cooked my first pizza tonight and it didn't turn out so well...cooked too long. But after opening the lid my gasket had burnt and was falling off. (I've had the egg for about a week). ???
ReplyDeleteThe parchment paper will keep the dough from sticking to the pizza stone and will also help to brown better (but I don't know why). It also allows you to put it on and pull it off easier with a peel than if it was on the stone directly. On the gasket, if your egg is new you can't cook at high temps for 5-6 cooks because the gasket has to seal first...your dealer should have told you that unfortunately. I am living in Missouri without my egg until the family arrives this summer so I am jonesing for some eggin' Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHey, I know the beer can chicken post is a year old, but I have a question. Do the drippings from the chicken affect the red potatoes? From the pictures, it looks like the potatoes are right underneath the chicken?
ReplyDeleteThe drippings don't impact the potatoes as long as the chicken is done and the potatoes cooked throughout. I don't use this method any longer and only do spatchcock style, better results, more consistent and cooks much faster.
