Using a BBQ Grill Rotisserie for Special Cuts of Meat

Outdoor cooking is about so much more than grilled burgers. Don’t get me wrong, hamburgers cooked over a fire are indescribably better than fast food. But there are some meats that require a little more time on the grill. If you want to roast large cuts of meat over the fire for a long time, then you need to use a barbeque grill rotisserie. Roasted meat also happens to be as healthy as it is tasty. Using a rotisserie really expands the type of cooking you can accomplish with your grill.

A rotisserie is a mechanical device that rotates skewered meat on a spit, which is a long, solid rod that holds food while it’s being roasted. Rotating the meat over a fire accomplishes two things. First, it allows the meat to cook evenly on all sides. Second, it automatically bastes the meat in its own juices. Because of this, cooking goes a lot easier. There’s no stopping to baste the meat or turn it over. Rotisserie cooking can be accomplished with a low level of heat, so it’s a great way to slow roast meats.

You know that grilling is already one of the healthiest ways to prepare food. As it turns out, using a rotisserie is one of the healthiest grilling methods. It can be done indoors or out and it produces exceptionally delicious roast meats.

There are several advantages to using a rotisserie to prepare meat on a grill. Some cuts of meats simply don’t lend themselves well to traditional grilling. Whole chickens, turkeys, and beef or pork roasts are all meats that taste wonderful when cooked on a grill, but aren’t good cuts for direct grilling. Meats cooked using a rotisserie are also juicier than those cooked using other methods.

You should be aware that a dripping pan is required to collect juices that drip off the rotating meat. Usually one will be included with the rotisserie. The pan will prevent flare-ups caused by dripping fat. And the collected drippings can often be used to make an scrumptious gravy.
