Rotisserie Cooking Tips - KitchenAid 870-0003C Installation Instructions And Use & Care Manual

WARNING
Rotisserie cooking rotates food in front of the rotisserie burner,
creating an intense heat for searing the outside and sealing in
natural juices.
The rotisserie burner reaches cooking temperatures in about 1
min. It is not necessary to preheat when using the rotisserie.
◼ Select tender meat and poultry.
◼ Allow at least 2.54 cm / 1 in space between rotisserie
burner and the food.
To make cleanup easier, place a pan under the food to
◼
catch drippings.
◼ Add barbecue sauce or glaze only during the last 10
minutes of cooking to keep sauce from burning.
