How to Use a Spit Braai | Skewer Height Tips for Perfect Cooking
Understanding and controlling the heat during spit braai and rotisseries is crucial to achieving restaurant-quality results.
Too much heat can lead to overcooked exteriors and raw interiors,
while too little heat can result in prolonged cooking times and a lack of that desirable charred flavor.
By mastering these techniques, you not only ensure that your food is cooked to perfection but also position yourself as a connoisseur of spit braaiing.
Why have three height adjustments on our KarooBraai™ rotisseries?
When it comes to spit braai or rotisseries, one of the most crucial factors that determine the success of your braai is the distance between the meat and the charcoal.
This distance directly impacts how evenly your meat cooks, how juicy it remains, and the depth of flavor it develops.
The 7-Second Rule: The Gold standard rule for spit-roasting
The “7-Second Rule” is a tried and tested method for determining the ideal height of your meat over the coals.
This rule is simple yet effective:
You should be able to hold your hand just under where the meat is positioned above the coals for about seven seconds.
Too Hot? If you can’t hold your hand there for seven seconds, it indicates that the embers are too hot, or your meat is too close to the heat source.
In this case, you need to either disperse the coals to reduce the intensity of the heat or raise the meat higher away from the embers.
Both of these adjustments will help prevent burning and ensure that your meat cooks evenly from the inside out.
Not Hot Enough? On the other hand, if you can comfortably keep your hand there for longer than seven seconds, the heat may not be sufficient.
To remedy this, you can add more embers to increase the temperature or lower the skewer closer to the embers.
Sometimes, a combination of both might be necessary to achieve optimal cooking conditions.
While the 7-Second Rule is perfect for larger cuts like whole chicken or roasts, different dishes may require slight adjustments to this guideline.
For instance, when a crispy exterior is preferred, a variation called the “4-Second Rule“ is recommended.
The principle remains the same, but the reduced time indicates a need for higher heat,
which is essential for achieving the traditional crispy exterior that makes e.g. Greek gyros so delicious.
