Should I choose a spit or basket rotisserie?

Spits run through the product and suit whole chickens, roasts and anything that holds together on a skewer. Baskets clamp or cradle food, so they handle wings, ribs, sausages and cut pieces. Many rotisseries accept both, which is worth looking for if your menu may change.

Does a commercial rotisserie need a hood?

Usually. Roasting poultry and meat gives off grease-laden vapour, and fire and building codes commonly call for a grease hood over that kind of cooking. Some electric models are sold for ventless installation with built-in filtration, but whether that is accepted depends on your local fire authority, so confirm before you pick a spot.

How do I work out the rotisserie capacity I need?

Start from peak demand rather than daily sales. A full load of whole chickens takes a long cook cycle, so count how many you must have ready during your busiest hour and add a buffer for holding. The rated capacity assumes a specific bird size, and larger birds reduce how many fit on each spit.

Commercial Rotisseries in Canada

Rotisseries turn meat slowly in front of radiant heat so it bastes in its own juices and browns evenly, and a glass-fronted model sells the product while it cooks. Grocery stores, delis, takeout counters and restaurants use them for whole chickens, roasts, ribs and pork. Countertop and floor rotisseries are made in gas and electric versions, with horizontal spits, baskets or both.

About commercial rotisseries

Before you buy

Size by how many birds you need ready at your busiest hour, and check the bird weight the manufacturer based its capacity figure on.
Decide between spits and baskets: spits suit whole birds and roasts, baskets hold wings, ribs, sausages and pieces that cannot be skewered.
Look at how grease is collected and drained, and whether the spits, drip pan and interior come apart easily for daily cleaning.
Confirm the gas type or the voltage and plug before ordering, and check whether the unit must sit under a hood in your jurisdiction.
If the rotisserie faces customers, compare the glass area, the interior lighting and whether it has a heated holding section below the spits.
