Tips on using the rotary
spit
Place the food to be grilled in the centre of the wire
rack. Pour a little bit of water into the enamelled
baking tray and insert this into the shelf position
underneath the grill to collect the run-off fat. Never
place it on the cooking compartment floor.
If possible, grill items should be of equal thickness.
They should be at least 2 to 3 cm thick. This ensures
that they brown evenly while also remaining
succulent.
If the food to be grilled is thin, turn it over halfway
through grilling; if it is thick, turn it over several times
during grilling. Use tongs when turning the food to
avoid piercing it and, in the case of meat, to keep the
meat juices inside the meat.
Dark meats such as lamb and beef brown better and
more quickly than light meats such as pork and veal.
Place the joint as centrally as possible on the rotary
spit and secure it at both ends with the retaining clips.
You can also truss the joint with string. With poultry,
bind the ends of the wings underneath the back and
the thighs against the body. This will prevent them
from becoming too dark.
Pierce the skin on the underside of the wings to allow
the fat to escape.
