What is a "rotisserie"?

A rotisserie is a cooking equipment used for roasting meat, poultry, or other foods on a rotating rod or spit over an open flame or in an enclosed oven. It typically consists of a horizontal rod or spit that holds the food securely in place, allowing it to rotate slowly and evenly while cooking. Rotisseries can be standalone appliances, such as countertop rotisserie ovens, or attachments for conventional ovens or grills. They are valued for their ability to cook food evenly, resulting in juicy and flavorful dishes with a crispy outer layer. Rotisserie cooking is popular for roasting whole chickens, turkeys, roasts, and even vegetables, providing a convenient and hands-free method for achieving delicious, restaurant-quality meals at home.
