Introduction
Your George Jr.™Rotisserie is a full-featured Rotisserie with a pow­erful motor, large cooking area, and a heavy-duty Rotisserie Bar Assembly.
Complete with all the accessories you’ll need, your George Jr.
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 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 about 9-1/2 inches. This allows the entire piece of food to fit onto the Rotisserie Bar Assembly and be in line with the Heating Element. Weight of food to be cooked is less important than length.
Carefully center food (especially food with a bone in it) on Rotisserie Bar Assembly, as unbalanced food will cause a jerking motion during cooking. This causes undue stress on the Motor. 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 Assembly
Your George Jr.™Rotisserie features a heavy-duty Rotisserie Bar Assembly which consists of two assemblies:
1. End Wheel w/Center Bar and Gear and two meat tines
2. End Wheel w/Thumb Screw and two meat tines
The Rotisserie Bar Assembly fits into the Rotisserie and the heavy­duty motor turns the Assembly so your food cooks evenly and con­veniently—without all the added fat!

WARNING: Do not attempt to assemble parts inside the Rotisserie while it is plugged in or hot. Burns or other serious injuries can occur.
Before Using Rotisserie for the First Time
Before using your George Jr.™Rotisserie for the first time, wash all acces­sory parts with hot, soapy water. Rinse all parts well and dry thoroughly. Be sure the Rotisserie is unplugged and use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the inside and outside of the Rotisserie.
CAUTION: Never immerse the Rotisserie in water or any other liq­uid!
Prepare Food
We recommend preparing the food to be cooked before proceeding with any Rotisserie 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.
Before placing any items to be cooked onto the Rotisserie Bar Assembly, Adjustable Flat Basket or Veggies/Air Bake Basket, we suggest familiariz­ing yourself with how the Rotisserie operates and how each accessory is assembled and used in the Rotisserie.
Rotisserie Bar Assembly
1. Locate the Rotisserie Bar Assembly.
2. The Rotisserie Bar assembly consists of two End Wheels. One End Wheel (M) has a gear, center bar and two meat tines attached to it. The other End Wheel (L) has two meat tines and a Thumb Screw lock­ing device.
3. Loosen the Thumb Screw and pull the End Wheel off the center bar of the Rotisserie Bar Assembly. Carefully slide the food to be cooked onto the center bar and meat tines of the geared End Wheel.
4. Once the food is in place, align the End Wheel with Thumb Screw on the center bar of the Rotisserie Bar Assembly such that the tines are at 90˚ angles to those on opposite side, as seen in the view to the right. Push the End Wheel with Thumb Screw toward the geared End Wheel as far as possible. Tighten the Thumb Screw to lock the End Wheel in place.

Hints and Tips
CAUTION: Always protect hands with oven mitts when handling hot Rotisserie parts!
Do not place Rotisserie underneath cabinets or on a tablecloth during use.
Times given in Cooking Chart are suggestions.
Before beginning the full roasting process, turn the Timer Control to a minimum setting to let the machine rotate a few times with meat in place. Be sure the meat rotates freely and does not hit the Heating Element when it rotates. Turn Timer Control to “OFF.” If the meat does hit the Heating Element, remove food and tie the food with cooking string or you may need to cut the meat down in size slightly.
Do not cover food while it is cooking in the Rotisserie.
Do not attempt to cook food in the Rotisserie without the Cover in place and closed.
When cooking fatty foods (duck, turkey, etc.), check Drip Tray often to be sure the drippings do not overflow.
When food is finished 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 Assembly.

Recipes
Recipes indicated by asterisk (*) are adapted from the George Foreman's Big George Rotisserie Cookbook by George Foreman and Connie Merydith Pascoe Publishing ©Salton, Inc. 1999.
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, 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.
Rubs
Any spice or herb can be used for a dry rub on virtually any kind of meat: roasts, chicken, steaks, and fish. These, of course, are just suggestions. The possibilities for rubs are endless...
Here are some examples:
Red Meat Rub
1 Tablespoon cracked peppercorn 2-4 Tablespoons salt 2-4 cloves minced garlic 1 Tablespoon rosemary 1 Tablespoon paprika
Fish Rub
1 Tablespoon dried basil 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pepper pinch paprika
22
Chicken Rub
1 Tablespoon pepper or cracked peppercorn 2-4 Tablespoons salt 1/2 Tablespoon tarragon
Note: Measurements will vary due to sizes of the meat. As a rule, use 1-2 Tablespoons of rub ingredients per pound of food. For a 6 lb. chicken, use up to 12 Tablespoons of spices.
Beef Roast
1 6-8 pound boneless beef roast
Marinade
3/4 cup vegetable oil. 3/4 cup lemon juice 8-10 cracked black peppercorns 6-8 whole cloves garlic 1 sliced red onion 1 Tablespoon dry rosemary
Mix ingredients together and pour over desired meat portion. Allow to marinate overnight in the refrigerator, turning from time to time. This marinade is the best for most kinds of meat including venison and tougher cuts of meat. Place meat on Rotisserie Bar Assembly and insert into Rotisserie. Set timer for 2 1/4-3 1/4 hours or until done. The beef is cooked when the temperature is at least 145ºF on the meat thermometer.
* Dijon Mustard Steaks
The Dijon gives these small dinner steaks a distinctive flavor. 4 4 ounce beef KC/NY strip steaks, 1 1/4" thick
1/2 cup Dijon mustard 1 Tablespoon olive oil 1 Tablespoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Place the steaks in a shallow glass pan. Combine the mustard, oil, garlic and spices to make a thick sauce. Brush each steak with the mustard mixture and turn to coat both sides. Cover the steaks with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours to blend the flavors. Place the steaks in the Adjustable Flat Basket and insert into Rotisserie. Discard any remaining sauce. Set the Timer for 35­40 minutes and cook until the meat is at least 145ºF. Serves 4.
