Each Mate provides a solid prep surface right at the cooker for resting tools, plates, probes, and ingredients during the cook. Crafted from sustainably harvested acacia wood with mortise and tenon joinery, no visible screws from above, and a UV-stabilised oil finish that matches the EGG handle and Acacia Table.

Probe thermometer receiver, seasoning rubs, resting board, tongs, plate for the cook. All of it sits within arm's reach rather than on a separate table several steps away.
