There's this site that has a lot of rotisserie oven reviews. I wonder if it is OK to post some info about it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.222.135.41 (talk) 15:16, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Turnspit dogs

I removed a 'dubious' notation with respect to dog-powered treadmills and linked "dogs" to the wp article on Turnspit dogs which were specially bred for the purpose. The practice of thus using dogs is, I believe, well-attested. I will cast about for a source that relates more to the practice than the dogs bred to accomplish it.

Style of cooking?

Based on the various dictionary definitions for rotisserie provided by thefreedictionary.com, I suggest rewording the introduction to this article to state that a rotisserie is a rotating spit on which food can be roasted or a restaurant which offers meat roasted to order. Secondarily, rotisserie (in its verb rather than noun form) means roasting using a rotisserie (rotating spit). There's a separate article on the cooking method of Roasting to which this article should direct cooking method queries. Though 'broiling' is used instead of roasting in the dictionary definition of the verb form of rotisserie, I would keep to 'roasting' because 'broiling' has a slightly different and narrower connotation than does 'roasting'. In Wikipedia, 'broiling' redirects to the article on Grilling with an emphasis on cooking over an open flame; rotisseries and roasting don't necessarily involve cooking over an open flame - the 'flame' may not be open and the direction of cooking isn't necessarily 'over'.Penelope Gordon (talk) 11:20, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Of course, a rotisserie is a piece of equipment, not a style or method. Everyone knows it, but Wikipedia editors, in their infinite wisdom, know better ;-) 85.193.247.94 (talk) 21:01, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
