Your Goose Is Cooked!

About 12 years ago, Kenny Rogers’ Roast Chicken, the chain outlet, came to Malaysia. The most arresting thing about the restaurants was the huge wood oven they used to roast the chickens in. Arranged neatly in rows, the birds went round and round on a giant rotisserie, releasing a delectable smell.

The roasting method of cooking meat is healthy because the animal fat liquefies and drips out, while some complex chemical reaction results in that mouthwatering smell. Unfortunately, it was difficult to replicate roast foods at home, even with an oven. I should know, I’ve tried. The main obstacle is probably the fact that the food isn’t rotating, thus ensuring even heating. After all, that’s how they roasted meat in the medieval ages, on a spit over an open fire, right?

To meet the needs of households and commercial enterprises, RotisolUSA.com manufactures electric and gas rotisseries. Their equipment is engineered to have an optimum rotation speed so that the juices of the meat are sealed in, while fat drips off. Adjustable spits allow users to roast various kinds of meat, fish included. And for those who, like me, love to sit and watch the flame slowly cook their food, their residential model has a visible cooking flame. You won’t have to wait too long for food to cook, either. According to their website, a 1kg chicken should take about an hour. Pop in the chicken, turn on the rotisserie, and come back in 60 minutes to a delicious roast a la Kenny Rogers!
