Using The Rotisse rie
The grill rotisserie system is designed to cook items
FIG. 17
from the back using infrared heat. The location of the
burner allows the placement of the rotis basting pan
(included) beneath the food to collect juices and
drippings for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents
of the basting pan, you can add herbs, onion, garlic, or
spices. Hams are especially good with the addition of
pineapple slices and brown sugar to the basting pan.
The rotisserie burner is an infrared type which
provides intense searing radiant heat. Preferred by
chefs over other methods, this intense heat is
magnificent for searing in the natural juices and
nutrients found in quality cuts of meat.
Once lit, the rotis burner will reach cooking temperatures in about 1 minute. The orange/red glow will
even out in about 5 minutes. The rotis motor is equipped with metal gears and is capable of turning up
to a 25 lb. cut of meat or poultry. The motor is mounted to a metal channel which attaches to the left
side of the grill and gets tightened into place with a thumb screw. Ensure that the motor is straight
prior to tightening the thumb screw (see Fig. 17).
The rotis motor on the grills is secured down to a cast rotis block with the black screw- down knob.
The rotis block is in turn bolted to the right side panel. The skewer for the rotis is assembled into the
motor assembly by placing the pointed end into the motor, and resting the threaded end on the
support at the right side of the grill. With the skewer pushed as far as possible into the motor, the
grooved skewer bushing should rest on the right side bracket.
To load the skewer begin with the handle in place, and slide one of the meat holders (prongs facing
away from the handle) onto the skewer. Push the skewer through the center of the food, then slide
the second meat holder (prongs toward the food) onto the skewer. Center the product to be cooked
on the skewer then push the meat holders firmly together. Tighten the L shape nut with pliers. It may
also be necessary to wrap the food with butchers string or dental floss (never use nylon or plastic
string) to secure any loose portions. Once the food is secure, insert the skewer into the motor. If
needed, remove the grill racks. Place the basting pan beneath the food. It is normal for the skewer to
flex when larger cuts of meat are being cooked.
