Rotisserie Cooking

Rotisserie cooking produces foods that are moist, flavorful and attractive. The optional rotisserie system is most commonly used for cooking meat or poultry and is designed to cook food from the Back Burner using infrared heat. The location of the Burner allows the placement of a cooking pan beneath the food to collect juices for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of the cooking pan you may add herbs, onions, or other spices of your choice. The Back Burner is an infrared type, which provides intense searing radiant heat. The intense heat sears in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meat.

The cooking times on a rotisserie will be approximately the same as for oven cooking, but differences in wind, air temperature and equipment will affect the cooking times. It is recommended that you use a meat thermometer to test for the desired well-donenessof any foods prepared on a rotisserie•

ROTISSERIE COOKING CAN BE CONSIDERABLY SLOWER THAN DIRECT HEAT COOKING, BUT THE RE-

SULTS CAN BE WELL WORTH THE TIME AND EFFORT.

If there is no tendency to roll, give the spit a quarter turn. if it is still stable, give it a final quarter turn. It should rest without turning in each of these positions. It can then be attached to your grill.

Food Preparation

When preparing poultry, truss the birds tightly so that wings and drumsticks are close to the body of the bird. The cavity of the bird may be stuffed prior to this• Pull the neck skin down and, using a small skewer, fix it to the back of the bird. Push the rotisserie spit through lengthwise, catching the bird in the fork of the wishbone. Center the bird and tighten with the holding ,_orks.Test the balance as described before•

A rolled piece of meat .-'7,fires the rotisserie skewer to be inserted through the center of the length of meat, then secured and balanced

For meats that contain bones, it is best to secure the rotisserie skewer diagonally through the meaty sections. If protruding bones or wings brown too quickly, cover with pieces of foil.

Tips for Using The Back Burner

DO NOT USE THE MAIN GRILL BURNERS WHEN THE BACK BURNER IS IN OPERATION.
