3/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 small red pepper, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 small green pepper, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 small white onion, cut into large chunks
prepared rice pilaf

In a small bowl combine oil, juice, oregano, garlic, cumin and pep-
per. Place the chicken cubes in a shallow glass pan and pour the
marinade over the chicken, turning to coat evenly. Tightly cover the
pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate 4-8 hours. Thread the chicken
cubes on the metal Skewers, alternating the chicken with red and
green peppers and onions. Discard remaining marinade. Place the
Skewers in the Rotisserie as instructed on page 14. Set the Timer
for 25-35 minutes or until done. The chicken is done when the juices
run clear and there is no pink color visible. Remove the chicken and
vegetables from the Skewers and serve with rice pilaf. Serves 4.

* Basil & Citrus Turkey Breast

A tangy marinade dresses up this healthful entrée.
1 3-pound boneless turkey breast

1/2 cup non-fat chicken broth
1 Tablespoon cider vinegar
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 Tablespoon minced fresh basil

Place the turkey breast in a deep glass dish. Mix the marinade ingre-
dients and pour over the turkey breast, turning to coat evenly. Cover
tightly with plastic wrap. Marinate 4-6 hours in the refrigerator, turn-
ing occasionally. Prepare the turkey for the Rotisserie on the

marinade. Set the Timer for 1 1/2-2 hours. The turkey is fully cooked
when the juices run clear and the meat is white, with no pink remain-
ing. The temperature should be 170ºF on the meat thermometer. If
the turkey is not fully cooked, reset the Timer for an additional 10
minutes and test again. Cool slightly and slice thinly. Serves 6 - 8.

Polarized Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to
fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qual­ified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

Short Cord Instructions

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.

If a longer extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of
the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rat­ing of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Electric Power

If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appli­ance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a sepa­rate electrical circuit from other appliances.

Introduction

Your Baby George™Rotisserie is a full-featured Rotisserie with a
powerful motor and a heavy-duty Rotisserie Bar Assembly.

Complete with all the accessories you’ll need, your Baby George

™

Rotisserie allows you to cook anything from delicate fish or vegeta­bles to poultry items and hamburgers! Cook fish or hamburgers in
the Adjustable Flat Basket and roasts or poultry on the Rotisserie
Bar Assembly. Any way you cook it—it’s healthy and delicious!

Rotisserie

Foods which are cooked on a Rotisserie are extra flavorful,
because they are self-basted with their own juices. Foods are more
healthful as fat can drip down, away from the food during cooking.

Carefully center food (especially food with a bone in it) on the
Rotisserie Bar Assembly, as unbalanced food will cause a jerking
motion during cooking. This causes undue stress on the Motor.
Adjust food as necessary.

No food should touch the Heating Element or walls of the unit. Use
cooking string to tie all poultry; some meats also require tying. Trim
food if necessary.

Before cooking poultry, clean inside of cavity removing giblets and
neck, then tie bird with cooking string. Secure legs together with
string and secure with a knot. Or, use the legs-ties that may come
on the bird. Next, truss the thighs by wrapping string around the
largest part of the thigh and secure with a knot. Wrap string around
breast securing wings snugly next to body of bird and secure with
a knot. Cut off excess string. Refer to the "Cooking Chart" for max­imum size of food.
