A rotisserie spit rotates food over an open flame or heating element for even heat distribution and healthier cooking. It can be manual or automatic, used indoors or outdoors, and requires accessories like skewer forks and drip trays. Rotisserie chicken is a popular dish.
A rotisserie spit is a device used to roast food over an open flame or heating element. The rotisserie spit will continuously rotate the food for even heat distribution and fully roasted flavor. Rotisserie cooking will allow the fat to drip off the meat, making it a healthier alternative to traditional methods such as baking, roasting or frying. A manual rotisserie spit has manually operated controls, while other rotisserie ovens automatically rotate the food continuously. Rotisserie chicken is one of the most common foods prepared on rotisserie equipment.
Rotisserie cooking locks in the juices for full flavor, while the meat turns continuously. Meat juices circulate, preventing food from becoming excessively dry or tough. When cooking a whole chicken, experts recommend tying the legs and wings together with twine or string. This will prevent the legs and wings from coming loose during cooking and being burned by the heating elements.
Those who love camping often use a manual or battery-operated rotisserie spit. This equipment does not require electricity, allowing the user to cook his food over a fire or open flame. This equipment is made of non-stick coated metal, portable and lightweight, and often includes a carrying case. These features make the manual or battery-operated rotisserie designed for outdoor use. The outdoor rotisserie spit will typically have two vertical support rails for stability.
Some portable rotisserie skewers are made to be used on a barbecue grill and are battery powered. A rotisserie grill is an all-in-one unit that allows for broiling and rotisserie cooking of chicken, pork, beef, and seafood. This equipment will typically have an adjustable cooking surface. The device has manual controls that allow the food to lock into one of several positions.
Portable toasters and convection ovens sometimes feature a rotisserie option. This type of oven must be used indoors and runs on household electricity. In addition to baking, toasting and broiling, the combi oven will also cook the rotisserie with special foods. The oven will typically have a programmable digital timer with various setting options. A removable rotisserie spit is placed inside the oven where food can be rotated and cooked.
A rotisserie spit oven may require accessories that can be purchased separately. The tools you need may include a skewer fork set, which is used to place the food on the skewer. A rotisserie drip tray is placed under the food to catch the fat.
