BALANCING OF FOOD ON THE SPIT PRIOR TO COOKING
It is very important to ensure your food is evenly balanced on the spit rods prior to cooking. Unbalanced food can lead to
burning or over cooking on one side. Meats such as poultry, fish or soft meats can break away from the rod if not evenly
balanced along the rod. Loose food can also jam between the grill and the rod, causing the motor to stall. This additional
pressure on your spit motor can reduce the life span of the motor. Food which is centred and balanced will cook evenly and
present better.
HOW TO CHECK THE BALANCE
Roasts are the easiest foods to balance, due to their shape and texture.
It is best to test the balance of your food on the spit prior to cooking. Place the rod through the centre of the food. To test
the balance, rest one end of the spit rod on a table, or edge of hot plate. Hold the other end with the palm of one hand.
Attempt to turn the food on the rod, by turning the rod in your hand. If the food falls to one side, then re-centre the food.
For foods that are difficult to balance a spit counter balance (not included) can be used.
It is recommended when cooking poultry and leg roasts, to tie any loose parts close to the main body. Legs and wings of
poultry can break away from the body as the meat softens, causing burning. To prevent wings and legs from burning, use
cooking foil to cover.
COOKING
Most food can be cooked with indirect heat (food placed between two outside burners), with the hood of the barbecue down.
This will prevent any flare up and smoking caused by dripping fats. If a charred finish is desired, direct heat is required. It is
recommended to do in the final stages of cooking (approx 10-15 minutes), with the hood up.
A very useful tool to determine cooking time is a meat thermometer (not included). Probe the meat in the centre with the
meat thermometer, avoid any solid bone. Cooking times are usually the same as in a domestic oven.

handle (7) to the threaded end of the spit
rod combination. The spit rod can be easily
