Rotisseries Slowly Rotate Meat on a Skewer

There are many different ways to cook meat and a rotisserie is one choice many people make. Rotisseries  are appliances that fit over a heat source and rotate the meat over it. The rotisserie has a skewer that is inserted through the meat to suspend it over the heat source. Rotisseries then slowly rotate the meat around on the skewer and expose all sides of it evenly to the heat. It doesn’t sit in a pot while it cooks from the top and loses juices from the bottom. As meat rotates the outside seals the juices in and the meat inside stays moist if it isn’t over cooked.

A rotisserie is a good choice if you want to barbeque a large piece of meat. Some are even large enough to cook a whole suckling pig for a large crowd. The rotisserie  cooking process will take some time though and can not be rushed. You will want to cook over a low heat or the outside of the meat will cook before the inside is done. The rotation of rotisseries is what prevents the outside from burning but it still will if the heat is too hot. A low constant rotisserie heat is what you want for the best results.

When you buy a new barbeque you may have the option of buying a rotisserie with it at the same time. The same thing is true for many indoor kitchen stoves. Rotisseries are not as commonly used indoors as they are outdoors over a barbeque though. It is not as easy to use a rotisserie in an oven as it is over a barbeque.
