Cooking Outdoors Using A Rotisserie
from: Karlie BestlerRotisserie cooking, or more commonly, spit roasting, is a popular method of cooking big pieces of meat using a barbeque grill. A rotisserie often uses a motorized rod assembly where the meat is skewered, basted and cooked within an enclosed space. The rotisserie allows the meat to cook slowly but evenly.
Because the unit is constantly turning, meat juices are evenly distributed throughout. The end result is a well done, tender, juicier meat with a crispy crust.
Types of rotisseries
The cooking outdoor rotisserie is also called spit roasting because of the metal skewers that make up the cooking outdoor rotisserie. The spit may be made up of one, two or more bars.
There are two types of cooking outdoor rotisseries that are commonly used. One is the cooking outdoor rotisserie unit that utilizes a single, long bar to skewer meat. Two prongs are used to attach to both sides of the meat to secure it.
Another type of cooking outdoor rotisserie spit uses two skewers that are attached to gears located on both sides of the cooking outdoor rotisserie. This cooking outdoor rotisserie is also referred to as the spit rod assembly and since it secures the meat in place, there is no need to use prongs.
Both types of cooking outdoor rotisseries may use a mechanical or motorized device to rotate the food. The mechanical cooking outdoor rotisserie utilizes a hand crank to cook the meat while the newer types of cooking outdoor rotisserie use a motor that uses electricity.
Outdoor rotisserie cooking
Cooking with an cooking outdoor rotisserie uses two methods: direct heat and indirect heat. Direct heat cooking outdoor rotisserie involves placing the meat over the source of heat, perfect for cooking smaller cuts of meat such as poultry, beef and pork. This allows the outside portion of the meat to be cooked at almost the same time as the inside portion.
Indirect heat cooking, the more popular of the two, is the method that most of us are familiar with. This allows meat to be cooked gradually and slowly, perfect for the larger cuts of meat, since the interior has to be cooked first before the exterior.
Tips for using your outdoor cooking rotisserie
To successfully cook meat with your outdoor cooking rotisserie, it is extremely important to preheat the outdoor cooking rotisserie first before cooking. If your outdoor cooking rotisserie comes with a temperature gauge, allow the heat to reach the desired temperature before using the outdoor cooking rotisserie. If not, allow the outdoor cooking rotisserie to heat for about 10 or 15 minutes, more if your outdoor cooking rotisserie unit is bigger.
Keep the lid of the outdoor cooking rotisserie closed. This helps trap heat in the outdoor cooking rotisserie so it cooks the meat efficiently. The best shape of meats to use for outdoor rotisserie cooking is cylindrical because all portions are cooked evenly at the same time. Irregularly shaped meats are best cooked using a rotisserie basket.
