breasts, ribs, 2 cornish hens, Italian or Polish

 

sausage, leg of lamb, turkey breats, or turkey legs.

 

You can also cook a whole fish depending on its size.

 

• Meats or poultry should be brought to room

 

temperature before cooking. (30 to 60 minutes should

 

be adequate for most foods. If frozen, defrost

 

completely before cooking.)

 

• Tie meat or poultry with a string to make the shape

 

as uniform as possible before placing in basket.

 

• Remove cooking grates and warming rack to allow

 

food to turn freely.

 

• If you wish to save drippings for gravy, place a drip

 

pan in the center on top of the Flavorizer Bars before

 

positioning the rotisserie and food in

 

the barbecue.

 

• Food preparation steps are the same for rotisserie

 

cooking as for regular cooking. Indicated timing in

 

cookbook will be the same.

 

• Preheat barbecue for 10 minutes with the lid down.

 

• All cooking is done with the lid down.

 

• Cook by Indirect Method as indicated in recipe.

 

• If foods are too heavy or are irregular shapes, they

 

may not rotate well and should be cooked by the

 

Indirect Cooking Method without using

 

the rotisserie.

 

• When meat is done, we recommend that you shut

 

your grill off and let food rest for a few minutes before

 

removing from the Rotisserie Basket.

 

WARNING: Rotisserie is metal and will be hot. Wear oven mits to protect hands during Meat Clamp adjustment and movement of the rotisserie.

Carefully open Meat Clamps and remove food with a fork and/or tongs from Rotisserie Basket and place food onto plate or plater.

Remove Rotisserie Basket from cooking box once you are completed with cooking and clean thoroughly.

Tips for Safe Cooking

ALWAYS wear protective gloves when handling your rotisserie or handle.

SECURELY tighten thumb screws before starting your rotisserie.

It is normal for meat to shrink during cooking. This can cause the meat to move around in the Rotisserie Basket or fall from the basket. It may be necessary to STOP the rotisserie and secure the Meat Clamp(s), making sure to once again tighten the Thumb Screws.
