The BBQ that counts David Beckham & Michelin-starred chefs amongst its fans is a lockdown essential

Big Green Egg is the ceramic grill with a star-studded fan base, including David Beckham, Meghan Markle and a handful of Michelin-starred chefs.

If the Big Green Egg wasn't on your radar already, it should be. Big Green Egg is a kamado-style grill, handmade in Mexico using NASA-inspired high-grade ceramics (yes, really) allowing a heat of up to 1000°C to accumulate - hot enough to cook pizzas. The egg allows up to 18 hours of cooking, either by grilling or slow cooking.

It's such a summer essential for serious grilling fans that it counts numerous chefs, restauranteurs and celebrities as fans; David Beckham loves his and can be spotted using it on Instagram in warmer months, an in an interview with writer Athena Calderone, published on her blog eye-swoon.com, Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle revealed that her ultimate food day would involve 'lunch of fish tacos and albariño cooked in my backyard on my ceramic grill (the Big Green Egg).' Michelin-starred chefs including Daniel Clifford along with chef Tom Griffith and butcher Richard Turner also count themselves as Big Green Egg connoisseurs. There's no doubt about it, this is the ultimate accessory for alfresco dining this summer so now you just need to decide which barbecue recipes to cook.
