Introduction

Your George Foreman Rotisserie Oven is a combination Rotisserie and Oven. With a powerful motor, large cooking area, and heavyduty Rotisserie Bar the Rotisserie Oven will beautifully and evenly cook an extra-large turkey!

Complete with all the accessories you’ll need, your George Foreman Rotisserie Oven allows you to cook anything from delicate fish or vegetables to large poultry items and even a pizza! Cook fish or hamburgers in the Adjustable Basket or cook “guilt-free” air-baked fries in the Roasted Veggies/Air Bake Basket. 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 food during cooking.

Food to be cooked on the Rotisserie must be no longer than 12 inches. This allows the entire piece of food to be over the Heating Elements. Weight of food to be cooked is less important than length.

Carefully center food (especially food with a bone in it) on Rotisserie Bar, as unbalanced food will cause a jerking motion during cooking. This causes undue stress on the Motor. Use the Meat Tines to center the food and secure onto Rotisserie Bar with End Brackets. When using 4-prong Meat Tines for extra-large cuts of meat, you may eliminate the End Brackets (to make more room on Rotisserie Bar). Properly centered food can usually be judged by sight; however, test for balance by rotating the Rotisserie Bar with your hands. You will feel a “jerking” motion if the food is not balanced properly. Adjust food as necessary.

Use cooking string to tie poultry at wings and legs. This will compact the bird so no parts touch the Heating Elements.

ACCESSORIES Rotisserie Bar

Your George Foreman Rotisserie Oven features a heavy-duty Rotisserie Bar which hosts accessories such as the Meat Tines, Adjustable Basket, and Roasted Veggies/Air Bake Basket. The Rotisserie Bar fits into the Rotisserie Oven and the heavyduty motor turns the Bar so your food cooks evenly and conveniently—without all the added fat!

A handy Rotisserie Bar Remover hooks into grooves in the Rotisserie Bar for quick and easy removal of your cooked foods!

4-Prong Meat Tines

Your George Foreman Rotisserie Oven comes with two 4-prong Meat Tines. Use the 4-prong Meat Tines for whole turkeys or other large pieces of meat. When using Meat Tines, be sure to place a Meat Tine at each end of the meat. This accessory is designed to be used with the Rotisserie Bar.

Suggested foods: Whole turkey or large chicken, duck, large roast, etc.

2-Prong Meat Tines

Your George Foreman Rotisserie Oven comes with four 2-prong Meat Tines. Use the 2-prong Meat Tines with chickens, cornish hens, roasts, etc. When using Meat Tines, be sure to place a Meat Tine at each end of the meat. This accessory is designed to be used with the Rotisserie Bar.

Suggested foods: Picnic roast, small to medium chicken, cornish hen, tenderloin, etc.

Introduction (Cont.)

Adjustable Basket

Use the Adjustable Basket to cook small cuts of meat, seafood, or vegetables. The Adjustable Basket has a Lid which can be raised or lowered to adjust to the thickness of the food. This keeps the food in place while it turns on the Rotisserie Bar.

Suggested foods: Hamburgers, steaks, pork chops, fish, chicken breasts, sliced vegetables, spare ribs, etc.

Roasted Veggies/Air Bake Basket

The Roasted Veggies/Air Bake Basket is great for browning potatoes and vegetables. This Basket makes wonderful “guilt-free” air-baked fries. The extra large size means you can cook for the whole family in a single batch! An easyclose door keeps all the food in the Basket— safely and securely. This accessory is designed to be used with the Rotisserie Bar.

Suggested foods: Potatoes, frozen french fries, diced vegetables, etc.

Skewers

Five skewers means shish-kabobs for everyone! Combine your favorite meats and/or vegetables to create your favorite types.

Suggested foods: Beef, chicken, vegetables, etc.

Introduction (Cont.)

Baking Sheet

The Baking Sheet lets you use your Rotisserie Oven like a regular baking oven. Use the Baking Sheet to bake your favorite items.

Suggested foods: For baking dinner rolls, cookies, etc.

Wire Rack

The Wire Rack lets you use your Rotisserie Oven like a regular baking oven. The specially designed cross wires work with the skewers for evenly cooked shish-kabobs. (See Figure 11.) You can even use this to cook a pizza!

When using the Wire Rack for baking, place into oven with cross wires down (on underside).

When using Wire Rack with Skewers, place Wire Rack into oven on lower wire rack position with cross wires up (on topside)

Suggested foods: Frozen pizza, breads, pies, cakes, kabobs, etc. NOTE : D o not use the wire rack to cook large cuts of meat

or poultry.

WARNING: Do not attempt to assemble parts inside the Rotisserie Oven while it is plugged in or hot. Burns or other serious injuries can occur.

Before Using Rotisserie Oven for the First Time

Before using your George Foreman Rotisserie Oven for the first time, wash all accessory parts with hot, soapy water. Rinse all parts well and dry thoroughly. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the inside and outside of the Rotisserie Oven.

CAUTION: Never immerse the Rotisserie

Oven in water or any other liquid!

Introduction (Cont.)

Preparing for Use

Prepare Food

We recommend preparing the food to be cooked before proceeding with any cookware assembly. Cut all vegetables to be cooked or prepare a homemade marinade for extra flavor (see “Recipes” for information about Marinades and Rubs). If necessary, store food in refrigerator while preparing Rotisserie Oven.

Assembling the Rotisserie Bar

Before placing any items to be cooked onto the Rotisserie Bar, we suggest familiarizing yourself with how the Rotisserie Bar fits into the Rotisserie Oven and how each accessory works.

1. Locate the Rotisserie Bar.

2. WITHOUT TURNING THE ROTISSERIE OVEN ON YET, use the Cover Handles to lift open the Cover.

3. Angle the Rotisserie Bar so the point-

ed end fits into the center hole in the right side (when facing front of

Rotisserie) of the Rotisserie Oven . See Figure 1.

4. Move the square, “nut” end of the Rotisserie Bar so it fits into the cut-out on the left side (when facing front of Rotisserie) of the Rotisserie Oven.

This is the correct position for assembling the Rotisserie Bar.

Assemble Drip Tray

1. If not in place, slide Drip Tray into position as shown in Figure 2.

NOTE:To limit any smoke which may occur as a result of dripping juices, add about 2 cups of water to the Drip Tray before beginning cooking. Adding water to the Drip Tray will also make clean-up easier!

Assembling Accessories onto Rotisserie Bar

IMPORTANT: All foods must be secured onto Rotisserie Bar.

Whenever possible, you must use the End Brackets to secure the accessory/food (Meat Tines, Adjustable Basket, Roasted Veggies/Air Bake Basket). However, when cooking extra-large cuts of meat or poultry, it may be necessary to eliminate the End Brackets to make more room on the Rotisserie Bar. In this case, you MUST use the 4-prong Meat Tines and the Wing Nuts (removed from End Brackets) to secure food into place on Rotisserie Bar. When using 4-prong

Meat Tines with EXTRA-LARGE CUTS OF MEAT, skip directly to the "4-Prong Meat Tines" section.

NOTE: Always place accessories and meat/food onto Rotisserie

Bar from the pointed end.

1. Determine whether you will use the 2-prong Meat Tines or the 4-prong Meat Tines (depending upon food/meat size). See Figure 4 and example turkey and chicken drawings on following pages.

When using 4-prong Meat Tines with EXTRA-LARGE CUTS OF MEAT, skip directly to the "4-Prong Meat Tines" section.

For all other Meat Tines, proceed with steps #2 and #3 below. If you will be using the Roasted Veggies/Air Bake Basket, pro-

ceed with steps #2 and #3 below. If

you will be using the Adjustable Basket, skip to section "Preparing for Use - Adjustable Basket."

2. If the Rotisserie Oven was previously used, be sure all parts have cooled and remove Rotisserie Bar from inside Rotisserie Oven.

3. Locate two (2) End Brackets. Unscrew each wing nut fully, but do not remove from bracket. Place Brackets against each other so long ends are touching as shown in inset drawing. Set both End Brackets down while keeping them in the same position. (You will be assembling only the End Bracket shown on the left at this time.) Pick up End Bracket which is shown on the left and slide pointed end of Rotisserie Bar through the square hole in this End Bracket ONLY. See Figure 3.

DO NOT attach remaining End Bracket at this time.

Preparing for Use (Cont.)

HELPFUL HINTS WHEN COOKING LARGE CUTS OF MEAT WITH A HIGHER FAT CONTENT:

• Cook large cuts of meats only on the Rotisserie Bar; cook slabs of meat (such as spare ribs) in the Adjustable Basket. Never cook large cuts of meat or poultry directly on wire rack.

• Remove all grease residue from the cooled Heating Elements.

• Trim off all excess fat from meat before cooking in the Rotisserie Oven.

• Add about 2 cups of water to Drip Tray. This will reduce smoking and cool the grease as it drips into the Drip Tray. Be sure to maintain the water level in drip tray while cooking.

• Set desired cooking time and set cooking temperature to 350˚F.

• Press "ON" Button and select 2 lower (front and back) heating elements setting. Turn motor on. As you use the oven, you may decide to use three elements based on size of the food and recipe.

• Cook beef and pork until meat thermometer reads 160˚F for medium and 170˚F for well done.

CAUTION:

Always use water in Drip Tray and do not leave Rotisserie Oven unattended when cooking meats with a high fat content. If the appliance begins to smoke abnormally or malfunctions during use, immediately depress the "OFF" button.

Excessive fat drippings which touch the hot Heating Elements may momentarily ignite . If the grease continues to flame for more than a few seconds, DEPRESS THE "OFF" BUTTON and wait for 10-20 seconds. If the grease continues to flame, carefully open the cover and sprinkle up to a quarter cup of baking soda over the flames to smother them. Never pick up or move Rotisserie Oven with hot grease in Drip Tray.

After unit has COOLED COMPLETELY, clean Drip Pan and Heating Elements and continue cooking using steps above.

Hints and Tips

CAUTION: Always protect hands with oven mitts when handling hot Rotisserie parts!

• Do not place Rotisserie Oven underneath cabinets or on a tablecloth during use.

• Times given in Cooking Chart are suggestions. Cook meat to your own tastes.

• To make clean-up easier, we suggest lining the Drip Tray with Aluminum Foil.

• To limit any smoke which may occur as a result of dripping juices, add 2 cups of water to the Drip Tray (just enough to cover bottom) before beginning cooking. Check Drip Tray periodically during cooking and add more water as needed. Adding water to the Drip Tray will also make clean-up easier!

• Before beginning the full roasting process, press the Motor Button to let the machine rotate a few times with meat in place. Be sure the meat rotates freely and does not hit any of the Heating Elements when it rotates. (Although the Motor will turn when the Motor button is pressed, the Rotisserie Oven will not turn on unless the Timer is set.) If the meat does hit any of the Heating Elements, tie the food with cooking string or you may need to cut the meat down in size slightly.

• You may want to lightly oil the Rotisserie Bar and other accessories to prevent sticking.

• Do not cover food while it is cooking in the Rotisserie Oven.

• Do not attempt to cook food in the Rotisserie without the Cover in place.

• Use the Oven light only as necessary to check the status of the cooking food. Do not use the light continuously during cooking as this will greatly reduce the life of the bulb.

• When cooking fatty foods (duck, turkey, etc.), check Drip Tray often to be sure the drippings do not overflow.

• When food is done roasting, let it sit for 15-20 minutes to let the cooking process complete and to allow the juices to settle before carving.

• Make sure to use oven mitts or hot pads when removing the Rotisserie Bar with (or without) the Rotisserie Bar Remover.

Recipes

A Little About Marinades and Rubs

Marinades tenderize, add flavor and moisten all kinds of foods. To keep beef, fish and chicken flavorful and juicy, a marinade is crucial.

There are three basic ingredients in most marinades. Acids (vinegar, citrus, wine, etc.), oils and spices. The acids tenderize, the oils moisten, and the spices add the flavor.

The amount of time a food marinates depends on the flavor and texture of that food. For example, fish should only marinate for up to 30 minutes or less, while a steak should marinate for a couple of hours or more.

While foods are marinating, they should be kept refrigerated. It is best to remove the food and bring back to room temperature before cooking. NOTE: Do not allow raw or uncooked meats to stand at room temperature for extended periods of time.

Extra flavor can be added to meats by rubbing with your choice of spices and herbs. This is called a dry rub. Before cooking, rub the food with spice and herb mixture and it is ready to cook. Common examples of spice rubs are cracked peppercorn, garlic, or rosemary.
