Does it improve flavour? Does it produce juicier meat? Isn’t it just for meat? These are just some of the questions that people ask about rotisseries but we’re here to answer them all for you here.

Firstly, how does it work?

Rotisserie cooking can be done over any heat source, wood or gas, BBQ or kamado. It requires sticking your food of choice on a rotating spit that exposes all sides to the heat. Then as the rotisserie spins, the food cooks evenly and cooks evenly throughout.

I thought rotisseries were just for meat?

Not true at all! One of the advantages of rotisserie cooking is you can add BBQ flavour so many food items, they’re perfect for a vegetable kebab, spicy Korean cauliflower “wings” or even desserts like a slow cooked pineapple with Pina Colada glaze. (This one sounds really good!)

What are the advantages of rotisserie cooking?

Here are 5 of the main advantages cooking with a rotisserie:

Less Hassle:
Due to the slower cooking process, you can more easily control the cooking of your food and spend more time entertaining.

Better Flavour and More Tender:
By rotating as it cooks, the slow browning helps to lock in the flavours and juices as it cooks, it also self-bastes as it rotates!

More People? No Problem:
With a rotisserie, the more people, the better. Simply pack on more food and let the grill take care of the rest.

Crispy Crust and Even Browning:
No more finding hotspots or worrying about overcooking. As it spins, every inch of the food is hit with the heat.

Healthier than Traditional Grilling:
During cooking, a lot of excess grease and fat will drip down and hit the fire. So, no extra grease, just extra flavour!
