La Cornue Rotisserie Centenaire - Manual (Page 21)

To cook a chicken, duck or pigeon, for example, run a spit through it, then place it on
the middle disc. Check the distance of your supports: a free-range chicken, which takes
longer to cook, should be placed farther from the heat source. The cooking time for a
chicken varies, on average, between 45 and 60 minutes. Use the same method for
duck or pigeon.
If you wish to roast two large ducks or cockerels, use both spits and place them on the
upper and lower discs. Check that the wings are secured and that the two spits do not
come into contact with each other when rotating.
When cooking larger pieces of meat, such as rack of lamb, whole fish and other roasts,
fix them between the central tongs; you can sprinkle them with herbs, lemon slices or
spices, to taste.
It only requires twenty minutes to cook a loin of lamb or a beautiful bream. To sear
your dish and keep it rare and juicy, turn up the heat.
Whatever your menu, the rotisserie is always a festive and mouth-watering spectacle,
that will have your guests coming back for more. Don’t forget to place a dish under-
neath the spits.
Clean appliance regularly, including special rotisserie surfaces, with recommended
cleaning agents.
The cooking grease should be removed from all cooking surface and tray every time the
appliance is used, to avoid any risk of fire.
Front Panels
The external parts, which are not exposed to fat splatters, only require a minimum
effort to keep them clean and beautiful. The level of cleaning really depends on the
frequency of use and the environmental climate. If kept in a holiday home, especially
in a marine climate, it should be thoroughly cleaned before your departure. And isn’t
it nice to return to a spark-ling clean cooker.
Due to the damp environment, the salt in the air and the acidity in the fat attack all
metals, even solid brass and stainless steel.
The cleaning products should be chosen according to the surfaces to be cleaned.
- Bright colored enamel fronts
Because the enamel is vitrified, you can use a window-cleaning product on a paper
towel.
As fat may splash and splatter when a rotisserie overheats, use an “Ajax Cream” type
product and a sponge for cleaning. Enhanced results can be obtained by using window
cleaning products.
