Big Green Egg Cast Iron Sauce Pot & Basting Brush

Heavy-duty cast iron sauce pot with integrated basting brush. BPA-free silicone brush head nests into pot handle. Removable brush head is dishwasher-safe. Designed for melting butter, warming marinades, and keeping sauces ready. On display at our Wetherill Park showroom.

The Big Green Egg Cast Iron Sauce Pot & Basting Brush is one of those tools that solves a specific problem cleanly: how to keep sauce warm directly on the EGG while having the brush ready to apply it without creating a mess or juggling multiple items between the cooking grid and your prep area. The cast iron pot sits on the cooking grid, holds heat well, and keeps butter melted or sauce warm throughout the cook. The basting brush nests into the pot handle, so the brush and pot stay together as a single unit rather than two separate items you need to track.

We have used this pot and brush combination at both our Wetherill Park showroom and at home. It works particularly well for basting ribs throughout a long cook, where you want the sauce or butter to stay warm and ready without needing to leave the EGG and return to the kitchen repeatedly. We have also used it for making gravy directly over the fire, using drippings from a roast and building the gravy in the pot while the meat rests. The cast iron holds heat consistently, and the integrated brush design means everything you need is in one place.

As a Big Green Egg Platinum Dealer, we stock the full range of Big Green Egg cast iron and grilling tools at our Wetherill Park showroom. This sauce pot and brush combination is a practical addition for anyone who bastes regularly or wants to keep sauces warm on the grid rather than on a separate burner.

What You Get

• 1 x BPA-free basting brush with removable silicone head
• Brush nests into pot handle for integrated storage

Key Features

Heavy-duty cast iron construction The pot is made from heavy-duty cast iron, which retains heat well and distributes it evenly. Once the pot is up to temperature on the cooking grid, it holds that heat and keeps butter melted or sauce warm without needing constant attention. Cast iron is also suitable for direct heat exposure, so the pot can sit on the grid alongside your cook without any concern about warping or degrading.

Integrated brush storage The basting brush is designed to nest into the pot handle when not in use. This keeps the brush and pot together as a single unit, which matters practically when you are working at the EGG and do not want to set the brush down on a prep surface or lose track of where you placed it between basting applications. The brush stays with the pot, and the silicone head does not drip sauce onto your cooking surface when stored in the handle.

BPA-free silicone brush head The brush head is made from BPA-free silicone that can handle high temperatures without melting or degrading. The silicone bristles are flexible enough to spread sauce evenly across ribs, chicken, or other cuts, and they do not shed or fall apart with repeated use the way natural bristle brushes sometimes do.

Removable and dishwasher-safe brush head The silicone brush head detaches from the handle for easy cleaning. The head is dishwasher-safe, which simplifies cleanup after a cook. The handle should be hand washed with mild soap, but the brush head can go straight into the dishwasher.

Designed for melting butter, warming marinades, and keeping sauces ready The pot is sized to melt butter, warm marinades, or hold barbecue sauce at a ready temperature throughout a cook. This is particularly useful for longer cooks like ribs, brisket, or pork shoulder, where you want to baste multiple times over several hours. The pot sits on the cooking grid, so the sauce stays at the right temperature without needing to be reheated separately.

How We Use It

We have used the Big Green Egg Cast Iron Sauce Pot & Basting Brush at both our Wetherill Park showroom and at home, and it has proven useful in two main applications:

Basting ribs During a rib cook, we place the pot on the cooking grid with butter, apple juice, and a small amount of brown sugar. The cast iron holds the mixture warm throughout the cook, and we baste the ribs every hour or so using the integrated brush. The brush stays clean between applications because it nests into the handle rather than sitting on a surface where it would pick up dust or debris.

Making gravy over the fire After roasting a chicken or joint of meat on the EGG, we use the pot to make gravy directly on the grid using drippings from the cook. The cast iron handles the heat well, and the pot is deep enough to whisk in flour and stock without spilling. The gravy stays warm on the grid while the meat rests, and we have found this to be a simpler workflow than transferring drippings to a stovetop saucepan.

The integrated brush design is the practical advantage here. Instead of juggling a pot, a separate brush, and a prep surface to rest the brush on between applications, everything stays together and within reach at the EGG.

Care and Maintenance

Cast iron pot

• Hand wash the pot with a brush and water only after each use
• Do not use soap on the cast iron pot
• Dry the pot immediately and thoroughly after washing
• Lightly coat the interior with cooking oil after each use to maintain the seasoning
• Never put the cast iron pot in the dishwasher

Basting brush handle

• Hand wash the handle with mild soap and water
• Dry thoroughly before storage

Silicone brush head

• The removable silicone head is dishwasher-safe
• Detach the head from the handle before placing in the dishwasher

Cast iron requires maintenance to preserve its non-stick surface and prevent rust. The seasoning on the pot improves with regular use and proper care. If the pot is washed with soap or allowed to air dry without oiling, the seasoning will degrade and rust may form.

Why Use a Dedicated Sauce Pot on the EGG?

Most people warm sauce on a stovetop burner or microwave it before basting. This works, but it creates an extra step: you need to leave the EGG, return to the kitchen, reheat the sauce, and then return to the EGG to baste. If you are basting multiple times during a long cook, this becomes inefficient.

The Big Green Egg Cast Iron Sauce Pot eliminates this workflow. Place the pot on the cooking grid with your sauce or butter at the start of the cook. The pot stays warm throughout, and the sauce is ready whenever you need it without leaving the EGG. The integrated brush stays with the pot, so you have everything required for basting in a single tool.

We have found this particularly useful for cooks where basting frequency matters, such as ribs, chicken wings, or pork shoulder. The sauce stays at the right consistency, the brush is always within reach, and the pot does not take up significant space on the grid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this pot inside the Big Green Egg?

Yes. The cast iron pot is designed to sit on the cooking grid inside the EGG. It handles direct heat without warping or degrading.

Do I need to season the cast iron pot before first use?

The pot may arrive with a factory seasoning, but it is good practice to apply a light coat of cooking oil before first use and after each subsequent wash. This builds and maintains the non-stick surface over time.

Can I put the entire pot and brush in the dishwasher?

No. The cast iron pot should never be put in the dishwasher, as this will strip the seasoning and cause rust. The silicone brush head is dishwasher-safe, but it must be removed from the handle first. The handle should be hand washed with mild soap.

What types of sauce work best in this pot?

The pot works well for any sauce or liquid that benefits from being kept warm: melted butter, barbecue sauce, marinades, glazes, and pan gravies. The pot is not ideal for thick sauces that are prone to scorching, as cast iron retains heat intensely once it is up to temperature.

Is this pot and brush on display at your showroom?

Yes. The Big Green Egg Cast Iron Sauce Pot & Basting Brush is on display at our Wetherill Park showroom alongside the full range of Big Green Egg cast iron and grilling tools. We are open Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm.
