Cooking on a can help you to take your meal to the next level. When handled properly, you will find that your food comes out juicy, tender and will have a rich flavor.
While there are plenty of options out there for using a rotisserie from the barbeque to an electric unit, you need to understand that it is what's on the inside of the unit that will impact your results.
The spit roast will help to continuously rotate the meat, while ensuring it cooks evenly. Typically, meat is turned at a slow enough rate that it results in an even cooking, without the meat drying out or burning. However, you do want to ensure that you have even pieces of meat as they will ensure that the device can properly spin. Because some cuts of meat may be uneven; you will want to attach a cooking weigh to sides that may have less weight to improve the rotation.
Beyond the rotation, you will need to look at the heat source you are using for cooking. Usually, you are going to want to have a low source of heat helping you to cook your meats. Your goal, will be to cook these meats slowly, until they reach a safe eating temperature. This can be done with a direct heat source such as a small pile of coal directly beneath the meat. Others may want to use an indirect heating source, where the meat is cooked away from the flame.
Because of the slow approach to cooking, you do need to wait until the meat has reached a safe temperature and that needs to be checked with a meat thermometer. No matter if you have a timeframe in mind on how long to cook the meat, you still need to ensure that you focus on it being served at the safest temperature possible. Meats like chicken will be important to bring up to temperature, because they may contain dangerous bacteria.
Those looking to cook vegetables on the unit, will want to have their meats to temperature before they add their vegetables onto the unit. This reduces the risk of cross contamination and you will find that vegetables will typically cook up faster than any of the meats that you plan on cooking.
Once you have the basics down, using the rotisseries will be a fairly easy tool for you to use. You will want to ensure you are giving your meat long enough to cook, without opening your heating source too often. The reason for this will be the fact that opening the lid too often will slow down the speed of cooking. After you have fully cooked your meat, you will want to allow it to stand for 10 minutes so the juices can rest and so that you have a very moist cut of meat.
