In search of…
…a low-profile rotisserie.
Growing up, I remember my dad had (has?) a free-standing electric rotisserie. It was pretty bare-bones; the food item just rotated above an exposed heating element. It made great food, though, and I especially remember how good it made the house smell. I always wanted to chew the strings that he’d used to wrap the meat (kind of gross in retrospect, but they were soaked with roasty goodness).
Now when I search for “rotisserie” on cooking.com or where ever, I see lots of grill accessories and some free-standing toaster oven type thingies. I’d rather not get an additional appliance to hog up space in my kitchen, and I don’t want one for the grill. What I like about my dad’s is that it’s easy to stash when not in use.
An exposed heating element like that might be unsafe with a kiddo around (although my brother and I emerged unscathed), but I’m just researching options here. Any great ideas?
