Vertical Rotisserie Grill

1912 Midland Metal Spinners was founded by
George Cadman, who was then 65 years old,
as a metal holloware manufacturing company,
in St. Mark’s Street, Wolverhampton. They
later moved into the Tower and Fort Works in
Pelham Street, which ultimately gave rise to
the famous Tower brand name.
1937 Tower exhibited some of their latest holloware
designs at the British Industries Fair. As you can see
from the original poster, their stand No. A410 must
have been a great sight as it promoted their
“Beautiful, inexpensive, untarnishable Plate, at prices
all can afford to pay”.
1961 Tower became one of the largest
manufacturers of aluminium holloware, electric
kettles, tea pots and other household articles
with over 1,000 employees.
1974 Russell Hobbs took ownership of the
expanding Tower brand.

Functionality:

been used for packaging and shipping.
3. Plug the cord Into a 220-240 volt AC outlet.
4. Set the TIMER control to 20 minutes.
A small amount of smoke and odour

Cooking guidelines:
•Ensure all meat, fish and poultry is
thoroughly defrosted before cooking.
•Have all foods at room temperature
before adding to the rotisserie.
•Cooking times vary according to size,
shape and thickness of the food. Checking
the food during cooking is recommended.
•Using a meat thermometer helps to
ensure your food is cooked thoroughly.
•Choose roasts with an even shape
for best results in the rotisserie.
•For any meat that is cut into pieces
–diced chicken, sausages, pork
chops –it is recommended to cook
using the kebab skewers.
•If you want to marinate your meat, do so
before adding your meat to the rotisserie.
Tips:
To add flavour and help keep your meat moist
try pouring ½ to 1 inch of wine or beer into the
drip pan before cooking. An inch of water in
the drip pan with some added herbs, citrus, or
even juice (such as pineapple for ham) can
add great flavours to your cooking.
Mix your favourite herbs with olive oil or melted
butter for basting fish, meat or poultry. Apply
during the last 10 –20 minutes of cooking time.
Allow your meat to cool for 10 –20 minutes
after removing it from the grill. This allows all
the juice to redistribute and soak into the
meat. This gives you tender, flavourful meat.

Recipes for your
Vertical Rotisserie Grill
With the Tower Vertical Rotisserie Grill,
you can make a juicy roast chicken or
other meat, with little effort.
The vertical rotisserie is designed to roast meat
so it bastes in its own juices that is to say,
vertically! The fat drains down into a removable
drip tray for healthier-than-oven roasting.
Because you’re roasting the meats yourself,
you can buy a tastier chicken, control the
amount of salt and use the exact herbs
and seasoning you’re in the mood for.
