I have just bought this. Do you put anything inside of the chicken? Like lemon or herbs? When you say putting butter under the skin, is this all the way around or just along the top part as seen in the video? How much butter did you use in the basting bowl you made? I have never done this before and worried about adding too much butter to it
You mentioned you hoped the pineapple was ripe enough. The method I use here in the States is to pick it up by the spikey leaves and turn it over and smell the stem end. If it smells like pineapple, then it is ripe. If it smells like the refrigerator or no smell at all, then it is not ripe. Saw a vertical rotisserie in a thrift store today, never used, for $55 (£40). But that Cuizen VertiGenius I saw is no longer made, so makes me wonder if it is worth the money. Is the one you use (different brand) still working these many months later?
That's interesting to know about the pineapple! I'll remember that in the future, thanks! And yes, the rotisserie grill is still working! It did have some months in a storage facility while I was looking for somewhere to live but its still going and I want to revisit it again in another video.
It has more of a grill takeaway taste rather than a charcoal taste because, well, no charcoal. But it's still a great machine! As for the watch, it was a Garmin Forerunner 45 but I have a different one now.
For something completely different - what meat thermometer are you using? I've bought a couple of electronic ones that hate me and gave up the ghost really quickly. Was asking about the recipes then realised they were already there, d'oh!
hey matt i got one of those for xmas watched you vid and just notised mine hasent got red power light and if you put wooden skewer in the hole theres nothing there ?????? it works fine but coil heater turns on and off
I have to say I was a bit disappointed halfway thru this video for you not choosing to use a specific song...and then the ending happened XD Brilliant as always.
Apologies for the delayed reply! Honestly? No idea. I love making Indian food and don't have any way of removing fumes or odour either, so I just go ahead and do it. I find it lingers for a bit, but will eventually go. If you're making it daily, however, that may be another matter. If you have an extractor fan above your hob, then that may help minimise the odour.
