The Ultimate Rotisserie Cookbook: 300 Mouthwatering Recipes for Making the Most of Your Rotisserie Oven (Non)
Is a countertop rotisserie the one small appliance every cook  needs in order to save time in the kitchen while producing  fabulous meals? Phillips (The Soup Mix Gourmet) thinks the  answer is yes, and she presents a strong case. If cooks have a  tabletop rotisserie with a good timer, she says, they can "set  it and forget it," leaving Spicy Thai Ginger Chicken, Peach and  Ginger Pork Roast or Scallop Kabobs to cook (and self-baste) to  perfection with little help from the cook-and minimal cleanup  time. In chapters devoted to poultry, beef and lamb, pork, fish  and vegetables, Phillips provides many good ideas for using  every part of any rotisserie-the spit, kabob rods and  basket-even suggesting that the basket be used for cooking  "Dillicious" Salmon Cakes, Pesto-Grilled Eggplant and Chipotle  Meatloaf. Almost every section of the book offers advice on  rubs, marinades and sauces, but there is also an extra chapter  completely devoted to sauces, as well as another one on such  side dishes as Garlic Smashed Potatoes with Cream and Asian  Slaw. Desserts such as Caramelized Bananas with Hot Fudge  provide an additional argument that cooking with a rotisserie  can actually be fun. (Oct.)Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
