Rotisserie Cooking - Weber Summit E-670 Handbook

Cooking on a rotisserie gives your food a delicious, unique flavour. While the meat turns, fat and juices
are constantly running over the surface of the food, effectively basting the meat while caramelising on
the surface. When used with the infrared rotisserie burner, your rotisserie cooked food will stay juicy and
tender and have a beautifully even, golden finish.
Preparation for rotisserie cooking:
There are a few simple steps to prepare your food
and your barbecue for rotisserie cooking:
To prepare your barbecue:
1. Remove the cooking grills and hotplate from
your Summit barbecue.
2. Raise the drop down rotisserie motor from the
left hand side table and place it in the upright
position.
3. Plug the rotisserie motor into a power source.
4. If you want to catch fat and juices that drop from
your food when cooking to make sauce or gravy,
place a large aluminium drip pan in the centre of
your barbecue, directly on the Flavorizer™ Bars.
To prepare your food:
1. Remove meat from the fridge and allow it to
stand at room temperature for a short time.
2. If necessary, truss your food using butcher's
string to create as uniform and symmetrical a
shape as possible.
3. Slide one rotisserie fork onto the rotisserie
shaft.
4. Push the rotisserie shaft through the centre of
your food and slide the food into the centre of the
shaft.
5. Push the tines of the rotisserie fork into the
meat to secure it to the shaft. Tighten the screws
on the fork to secure it in place.
6. Slide the other rotisserie fork onto the rotisserie
shaft, push the tines of the rotisserie fork into the
meat, and tighten screws on the fork to secure it
in place.
Preheating for rotisserie cooking:
Whenever you use your Summit for rotisserie
cooking, it is important that you preheat the
barbecue first, the barbecue should be hot when
you put your food in to achieve the best results.

Rotisserie cooking

1. Check that all burner control knobs are in the off
position and check that there is sufficient gas in
your bottle (for LP models).
2. Open the lid.
3. Turn the gas supply on at the source.
4. Light all main burners according to the
instructions in the owner's guide.
5. Turn burners 3 and 4 (centre burners) to LOW
and close the lid. Preheat the barbecue with
burners 1, 2, 5 and 6 on HIGH and the centre
burners on LOW for 10 minutes (pictured).
Cooking using the rotisserie:
1. After preheating for 10 minutes, your barbecue
is ready to cook. Turn burners 3 and 4 (centre
burners) to OFF, turn burners 2 and 5 to LOW
and leave burners 1 and 6 on HIGH, which is the
roasting setting (pictured).
2. Open the lid and light the infrared rotisserie
burner according to the instructions in the owners
guide.
3. Push the rotisserie shaft, with your food secured
by the rotisserie forks, fully into the rotisserie
motor. Place the rotisserie shaft in place across
the barbecue. Turn the rotisserie motor ON.
4. Close the lid and cook for 20 to 30 minutes.
5. After 20 to 30 minutes, open the lid and check
your food. If the meat has the desired even, golden
finish, you can turn the infrared rotisserie burner
to OFF.
If you want more caramelisation/browing on the
outside of the food, leave the infrared burner on
until the desired finish is achieved.
6. Continue cooking with the lid closed for the
estimated cooking time.
