There’s a new BBQ grill that is all the rage called the Big Green Egg. Apparently it used insulated ceramic technology and direct and indirect heat to perfectly cook, roast, and grill food. There are numerous accessories than can be purchased including a rack that allows one to bake pizza.
I was just wondering: if you “burn out” an oven you can use it to cook both meat and dairy although not simultaneously. Would the same be true for this grill? For example: if on Sunday we had a bbq using the grill, then allowed it to burn for say a half hour after we were done cooking, could I bake a pizza on it Monday evening?
The rack must be exchanged and then once you kosher the oven its usable even the same day
Thank you for your prompt response!!! Just want to clarify a couple of things:
A) what is the minimum amount of time that the grill needs to be burnt out between usage from dairy to meat assuming we use a different rack?
B) I’ve seen in other posts regarding using non kosher grills that if the rack is thoroughly cleaned and there are no food particles left, once it is burnt out well it can be used. Would the same apply in this case if I cleaned the grill completely? This is a completely theoretical question as there is a separate rack for pizza which would be used. I am just curious
C) does the fact that this particular grill have a ceramic inner lining effect it’s status with regard to kashering. I always thought ceramic cookware couldn’t be kashered because of its absorbency.
Rabbi,
I think there may be an issue with this since the inside is made of ceramic.
