Loading the Spit Rods
Important: Food must be centered
Put the Spit Rods through center of the food so it will be balanced and the food
does not touch the Heating Element as it rotates. This is important for large foods
like turkeys, standing rib roasts, 2 chickens side-by-side or any large piece of
meat that goes directly onto the Spit Rods. Small foods and pieces go in a Basket.
Trim off excess fat and skin or loose
pieces – especially around poultry
cavities so heat can enter as it cooks.
