Rotisserie
ß
Rotisserie uses heat radiated from the upper element. The food is turned slowly on a skewer in the center of the oven. As a result, the food receives equal heat distribution on all sides.
The Rotisserie mode is best suited to cooking large pieces of meat (for example, a roast, a turkey or a chicken).
Note: the maximum weight allowed for the rotisserie is 12 lbs.
The benefits of Rotisserie cooking include:
•Sealed in flavor and juices.
•Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.
Tip• Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat.
