That BBQ Rotisserie Unit is Perfect for Holiday Cooking

It's that season when visions of sugar plums are dancing through our heads and holiday meal preparation has begun. Cooks are checking inventory of baking dishes, slow cookers, sauces and the like. Here's a suggestion - the barbecue rotisserie unit you've been thinking of getting is perfect for holiday cooking.

That's correct - if you have already stored your beloved summer cooking system in the garage, take it back out. Today's BBQ rotisserie, especially newer models with a rotating tray, can extend your grilling season all year long. Like ferris wheels for meat, this accessory cradles your delicious grilled chicken, pork roast or turkey as it turns over your heated grill. The meat remains tender because it's cooking over indirect heat. The juices are retained to provide delicious self-basting and prevent flare-ups.

This motor-driven rotisserie unit works in just about any kind of grill, from the luxury outdoor kitchen to even the basic kettle variety. If required there are several adaptors to get you up and grilling.

An additional advantage of using a tray rotisserie is that your entire meal can be cooked on it at once. Visualize your chicken on one tray; your veggies on another and your dessert turning with the rest of your repast.

Now, let's talk about turkey. Rotisserie grilling produces a more delicious turkey compared to an oven roasted bird and is much less dangerous than deep fat frying. There is no risk of overheating and no big containers of oil to tip over. Rotisserie cooking is also a low-fat food preparation method - much healthier for the triglyceride levels that are so at risk during the holiday season! Another healthy flavor enhancement can be made by adding wood chips to the preparation and today's smokers have filters to eliminate the resulting carcinogenic tars.

But what about holiday desserts? Sure, grilled fruit is luscious with its caramelized sugars and general juiciness. However, with skilled prep and use of aluminum foil as a baking tool, such delights as sweet potato s'mores and grilled angel food cake can also be delicious additions to your menu.

There are many products out there to make life easier for the home BBQ cook. Worries about grilling in the bleak winter season can be eliminated with LED grill lighting. BBQ gloves are extra long to protect arms and give almost as much protection as welders' gloves. A great holiday gift would be a set of barbecue tools and let's not forget the proper grilling apron - very handy to shield against spatters and for convenient hand wipers. Speaking of protection, covers are available to shield your grill from the snow and rain.

A good thermometer probe will allow you to keep track of your feast's cooking progress and reduce the need for lifting the lid too frequently to check on things.

So, as you wait for summer, you don't have to give up one of its common joys - a barbecued meal.
