Features & Benefits of the Boretti Rotisserie Spit

Compatible with Three Popular Boretti Models

The rotisserie spit has been specially developed for the Robusto, Forza and Luciano barbecues from Boretti. This perfect fit means you won't have any hassle improvising or adjusting – the system simply clicks into place and you can get started right away. The 75 centimetre long spit provides ample space for a whole chicken weighing up to 2.5 kilograms, a large roulade, or multiple cuts of meat side by side. This compatibility makes it a smart investment that perfectly complements the Italian design of your existing Boretti barbecue.

Electric Motor for Even Roasting

The electric motor provides constant, slow rotation that is essential for perfect rotisserie meat. By continuously turning the meat, fat and juices drip evenly over the entire surface, resulting in a golden-brown, crispy crust and tender, juicy meat inside. You don't need to manually turn or adjust the meat – the motor does the work for you. This makes the rotisserie spit ideal for slow cooking, where you can enjoy your company for hours whilst the barbecue does the work.

High-Quality Metal Construction

The complete metal finish in off-white, grey and black blends seamlessly with the Boretti aesthetic and guarantees years of enjoyment. The material is heat-resistant and dimensionally stable, even with prolonged use at high temperatures. Weighing just 1.5 kilograms, the rotisserie spit is light enough to assemble and store easily, yet sturdy enough to handle even heavy cuts of meat without any issues. The compact dimensions (75 x 7 x 7 cm) mean the system doesn't take up much space in your garden shed or garage.

Two-Year Factory Warranty

Boretti guarantees the quality of this rotisserie spit with a complete two-year factory warranty. This warranty underscores the brand's confidence in the durability and reliability of their accessories. At Boender Outdoor, you can also rely on any warranty issues being handled quickly and professionally, so you can enjoy your quality investment worry-free.

Uses

Whole Chickens and Poultry

The classic on the rotisserie spit is of course the whole chicken, seasoned with rosemary, garlic and lemon. The slow rotation turns the chicken golden-brown and crispy all over, whilst the meat remains incredibly tender. Duck, pheasant or turkey also work beautifully on this rotisserie spit. The fat drips into the collection tray under the cast-iron grates, where you can catch it with vegetables or potatoes for added flavour.

Pork Roulade and Other Large Cuts of Meat

A fine cut of pork roulade, leg of lamb or rib roast becomes a culinary masterpiece on the rotisserie spit. The constant rotation gives you a perfect crust all around, whilst the inside reaches precisely the desired core temperature. Marinate the meat beforehand with your favourite herbs and let the rotisserie spit do the work. The result is meat so tender it falls off the bone, with flavours you'll never achieve with regular grilling.

Vegetables and Vegetarian Alternatives

Vegetarians can also benefit from this rotisserie spit. Large pieces of pumpkin, cauliflower or a vegetarian roast are cooked perfectly through by the rotating motion and develop lovely caramelisation. Thread marinated vegetable pieces onto a skewer and let them slowly roast for a healthy and delicious meal. The possibilities are endless and ensure that everyone at the table can enjoy the unique flavour of rotisserie cooking.

Assembly & Use

Assembling the Boretti rotisserie spit is easier than you might think. The spit comes with clear instructions and fits perfectly into the designated holders in your Robusto, Forza or Luciano barbecue. First, place the motor on the right side, then slide the meat clamps onto the spit and secure your meat firmly between the clamps. Make sure the meat is well-centred for optimal balance during rotation. Place the spit in the holders, connect the motor and you're ready to begin.

For first use, it's advisable to clean the rotisserie spit with warm water and washing-up liquid. Dry it thoroughly and lightly rub the metal parts with neutral oil. This protects the material and ensures a longer lifespan. During use, it's sensible to place a collection tray under the spit to catch dripping fat and keep your cast-iron grates clean. Regularly check that the meat is secure and rotation is running smoothly.

After use, let the rotisserie spit cool completely first. Clean the spit and clamps with warm water and mild washing-up liquid, and if necessary, remove stubborn burnt-on residue with a nylon brush. Dry all parts thoroughly to prevent rust. Store the rotisserie spit in a dry location, preferably in the original packaging or a protective cover. The motor should be kept away from moisture. With these simple maintenance steps, your Boretti rotisserie spit will last for years and continue to perform like new.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Boretti Models is This Rotisserie Spit Suitable For?

This rotisserie spit has been specifically designed for the Boretti Robusto, Forza and Luciano barbecue models. The dimensions and fixing points are perfectly matched to these three popular models. For other Boretti barbecues, we recommend contacting Boender Outdoor for advice on the correct accessories.

What is the Maximum Weight the Rotisserie Spit Can Handle?

Although the rotisserie spit itself weighs just 1.5 kilograms, it's designed to handle meat of up to approximately 3 kilograms. An average chicken of 1.5 to 2 kilograms is absolutely no problem. For very heavy cuts of meat, it's important to distribute the weight evenly and centre it well on the spit for optimal balance.

How Long Does it Take to Grill a Whole Chicken on the Rotisserie Spit?

A chicken of approximately 1.5 kilograms needs an average of 1.5 to 2 hours on the rotisserie spit, depending on the temperature of your barbecue. For a chicken of 2 to 2.5 kilograms, allow 2 to 2.5 hours. It's advisable to use a meat thermometer to check the core temperature – this should be at least 75°C for poultry.

Does the Rotisserie Spit Need to be Preheated?

No, the rotisserie spit itself doesn't need to be preheated. However, it's important to preheat your Boretti barbecue to the desired temperature before placing the meat on the rotisserie spit. For rotisserie grilling, an indirect temperature of 160-180°C works best. The cast-iron grates of your Boretti ensure perfect heat distribution.

Can I Also Use the Rotisserie Spit for Indirect Grilling?

Absolutely, the rotisserie spit is particularly suited to indirect grilling. This is actually the recommended method for optimal results. Ensure the heat source is not directly under the rotating meat, but to the sides. This prevents burning and ensures even cooking. The combination of rotating motion and indirect heat gives you restaurant-quality results in your own garden.
