Abstract
A rotisserie device for roasting meats, comprising a casing and a spit rotatably mounted to the casing. The casing comprises a vertical main portion, and a horizontal base perpendicularly attached to and extending beyond the vertical main portion. The horizontal base is provided with a residue-collecting drawer underlying the spit for collecting cooking residues. The vertical main portion of the casing comprises heating elements thereon, and also comprises top and bottom elongated tracks, to which are rollingly mounted a top spit attachment assembly and a bottom rolling member, respectively. The spit rotatably engages the top spit attachment assembly at its top end, and rotatably engages the bottom rolling member at its bottom end. By rollingly displacing the top spit attachment assembly about the top elongated track and the bottom rolling member about bottom elongated track, the spit can be tilted and/or translated relative to the heating elements of the device.
