Rotisserie cooking
Cooking on a rotisserie adds another exciting
dimension to cooking on a barbecue - food will
cook beautifully and evenly as it turns throughout
the cooking process. As the food is constantly
rotating, it bastes in its own juices, resulting
in wonderfully moist and tender meat with a
delicious outside.
A rotisserie kit is available as an accessory for
your Spirit
®
and should be used with the roasting
and baking settings described here in this guide.
Instructions for using a rotisserie are included
with the Spirit Rotisserie.
Smoking
Adding wood smoke to your barbecue during
cooking opens up a whole new world of flavours.
Different types of wood produce different
flavours and complement different meat and
cooking styles.
A smoker box is available as an accessory for
your Spirit and Weber
®
produces a variety of
different smoking woods for you to try. Using a
smoker box in your barbecue lets you add wood
smoke flavours to any meat – think smokey pork
ribs, fish, chicken or even a ‘wood smoked’ pizza.
Instructions for using a smoker box are included
with the smoker box accessory.
How to read the recipes in this book
The collection of recipes in this book are designed
to show you what your Spirit is capable of, as well
as giving you some ideas for different meals you
might like to cook. There are recipes that range
from very simple to a little more complex. If you’re
new to Weber, a good suggestion is to try some
simple meals first, to understand and master the
cooking methods, then move on to some of the
more detailed recipes or start trying your own.
At the top of each recipe, we indicate the cooking
method used (direct or indirect) and the burner
setting (high, medium, roast, bake, pork crackle
or low and slow). It’s important to note that
your barbecue can accommodate both cooking
methods at once. If you leave one burner off and
light the two others, you’re able to cook ‘direct’
over the lit burners and ‘indirect’ over the unlit
burner.
Where we have indicated cooking times, it’s
important to remember that they are only there
as a guide. Wind, ambient temperature and the
temperature of the meat when you start cooking
can all influence the amount of time required.
One of the best ways to make sure you get
your meat cooked just the way you like it is
to use a meat thermometer. With a standard
meat thermometer you can read the internal
temperature of the meat, so you can tell when
it’s cooked to your liking. An internal meat
temperature cooking chart is included at the end
of this book.
