COMBINATION COOKING
Combination cooking is done by cooking
some foods directly over the coals while
cooking other foods on the opposite end of
the fire. The fire box should be in the
highest position ("sear" on the cooking style
indicator), or 4 to 6 inches below the
cooking grills, with the heat deflector
removed. With the fire confined to one end
of the fire box, you may cook potatoes, corn,
bread, chicken parts, etc., at the end away
from the fire while searing steaks, chops,
etc., directly over the coals at the same time.
Remember that the hood must be closed for
combination cooking, and slower cooking
foods should be started earlier than the
"searing" foods.
ROTISSERIE COOKING
Rotisserie cooking is impressive and fun. However, you can easily and successfully cook anything on a Hasty-Bake
without using a rotisserie since our unique design allows the heat and smoke to rotate around your food. However,
should you desire to use the rotisserie cooking method, we do have rotisserie kits available for all Hasty-Bake models
(except the Portable).
Rotisserie cooking involves having the food rotate constantly throughout the cooking process. Always balance
your meat well on the spit rod and secure it with the spit forks.
It is a good idea to double check to make sure
that the meat is secure. Tie or pin fowl wings
flat against the sides of the bird. Rotisserie
cooking times may be faster than those used for
roasting or baking by the indirect cooking
method. To keep fat and juices from falling
directly into the fire, spread the coals along
the outer edges of the fire box and place
aluminum foil beneath the meat to catch
the drippings. The heat will rise along the back
of the unit, cooking the meat on all sides as it rotates. Another option is to
confine the coals to one side of the fire box with the heat deflector in place. This is a form of indirect
cooking, using the spit rod for self-basting. Foods which are rotated while cooking tend to be self-basting,
and therefore more moist and juicy.
