How to choose a good rotisserie?

And finally the time has come to choose a good rotisserie. Yeah, but how to do it? What features should it have?, how to choose Here they are:

Accessories:

the accessories with which a good rotisserie must be equipped are many and some of them are often fundamental. First of all, there must be meat stops as well as special cages in which to store meat and fish otherwise impossible to skewer. Secondly, the presence of a planetary spit capable of cooking many single portions at the same time can be useful.

Footprint:

the footprint of a rotisserie, especially when opting for models that are not inserted in special ovens, should always be minimal. This is for the purpose of storing the object once you have finished using it. Of course, when evaluating the size you should also consider the average number of portions that you usually cook, that's why some very compact models boast the presence of several skewers to be used simultaneously

Ease of use and maintenance: regardless of the type you intend to buy, the rotisserie must always be simple to use and clean. That's why the advice is to always opt for products that do not have too many functions and that have removable parts or that at least have a self-cleaning function.

How much can an electric rotisserie cost?

Clearly it is not possible to give a precise estimate here: in fact there are several variants to be taken into consideration before we can precisely define the cost of this object. Considering the technical differences, the variety of functions offered to the user, the brand, the model, the construction materials, the presence of more or less useful and valuable accessories included in the package or available for purchase at a later time, the design, the choice to buy in specialized stores or online, the presence of the characteristics described above and those who have more of them, the range of costs widens in fact enormously.

In general, therefore, we can say that a basic model can have a price ranging between 60 and 150 euros. A high-level product, however, can also require considerably higher disbursements and reach figures close to € 400.

Some useful clarifications

We have already mentioned the possibility of purchasing manual rotation motors to be added or integrated into the electric rotisserie . The cost of these devices can vary from 20 to 40 euros approximately. If you wanted to save something, at least on the purchase, you could buy a battery motor, but in the long run the choice will prove economically less convenient since the batteries still have their cost.

The advantage in this case lies in the possibility of using the rotisserie even when it is not possible to use electricity. The accessories of the spit, on the other hand, are normally sold in kits and also have costs that are anything but prohibitive.
