How to Use a George Foreman Jr. Rotisserie

George Foreman Jr. Rotisserie Ovens bring the pleasure of outdoor rotisserie grilling indoors. The units operate easily and power themselves once meat or poultry is properly loaded on the spit assembly and placed in the oven. Following the proper steps and using the right safety devices ensures a favorable outcome free of burns to meat or hands.

Things You'll Need

• Desired roast or poultry
• 3 feet butcher's twine (for poultry or fatty roasts)
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• 2 cups water
• Large plate or platter

Instructions

1. Locate the rotisserie bar assembly (two circular gears connected by two metal rods, which are the meat tines or spits). Grip the smaller circular wheel in one hand and pull off the opposite wheel with the other, exposing the meat tines.

2. Slide the roast or poultry onto the meat tines through the center of the meat to keep it properly balanced on the spit assembly.

3. Firmly place the end wheel back on the spit assembly.

4. Slide the rotisserie oven lid open, and place the spit assembly inside the oven so the smaller circular gear faces the right side of the oven's interior.

5. Lower the spit assembly until each end drops into the grooves on either side of the oven's interior.

6. Remove the oven drip tray (a sliding drawer at the bottom of the oven), cover the top of the tray with heavy-duty aluminum foil, then slide the tray back into the oven's lower slot.

7. Pour 2 cups of water into the foil-covered drip tray. This extinguishes any hot grease dripping from meat during the cooking process, ensuring a smoke-free cooking experience.

8. Set the timer control (adjustable between 15 minutes and three hours) to desired cooking time. Once set, the oven will begin heating and the rotisserie motor turning.

9. Allow the rotisserie and meat inside to sit for 20 minutes at the end of the cooking time, signaled by beeping sound from the unit. Remove the meat or poultry with the provided spit removal handle and place the food on a large plate or platter for carving and serving.

Tips & Warnings

• For poultry or fatty roasts, tighten down wings, legs or loose fatty sides tightly by wrapping the meat in butcher's twine after skewering it on the spit assembly.

• Adding marinades, sauces or dry rubs enhances flavor but is not a necessary step with rotisserie ovens as these devices cook meat in its own juices and produce moist main dishes.

• Position meat or poultry in the center of the spit assembly to keep it balanced during cooking.

• Always wear protective heat-resistant cooking mitts when removing hot spit assemblies from the George Foreman Jr. Rotisserie Oven.
