A Little About Marinades and Rubs
Marinades tenderize, add flavor and moisten all kinds of foods. To
keep beef, fish and chicken flavorful and juicy, a marinade is crucial.
There are three basic ingredients in most marinades. Acids (vinegar,
citrus, etc.), oils and spices.  The acids tenderize, the oils moisten,
and the spices add the flavor.
The amount of time a food marinates depends on the flavor and
texture of that food.  For example, fish should only marinate for up
to 30 minutes or less, while a steak should marinate for a couple of
hours or more.
While foods are marinating, they should be kept refrigerated. It is
best to remove the food and bring back to room temperature
before cooking. NOTE:Do not allow raw or uncooked meats to
stand at room temperature for extended periods of time.
Extra flavor can be added to meats by rubbing with your choice of
spices and herbs.  This is called a dry rub.  Before cooking, rub the
food with spice and herb mixture and it is ready to cook. Common
examples of spice rubs are cracked peppercorn, garlic, or rose-
mary.
Rubs
Any spice or herb can be used for a dry rub on virtually any kind of
meat: roasts, chicken, steaks, and fish. These, of course, are just
suggestions. The possibilities for rubs are endless...
Here are some examples:
Red Meat Rub
1 Tablespoon cracked peppercorn
2-4 Tablespoons salt
2-4 cloves minced garlic
1 Tablespoon rosemary
1 Tablespoon paprika
Fish Rub
1 Tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
pinch paprika

WARNING:  Do not attempt to assemble parts inside the
Rotisserie while it is plugged in or hot. Burns or other seri-
ous injuries can occur.
Before Using Rotisserie for the First Time
Before using your Baby George™Rotisserie for the first time, wash
all accessories with hot, soapy water. Rinse all parts well and dry
thoroughly. Be sure the Rotisserie is unplugged and use a damp
cloth or sponge to wipe down the inside and outside of the
Rotisserie.
CAUTION:  Never immerse the Rotisserie in water or any
other liquid!
Prepare Food
We recommend preparing the food to be cooked before proceed-
ing with any Rotisserie assembly. Cut all vegetables to be cooked
or prepare a homemade marinade for extra flavor (see “Recipes”
for information about Marinades and Rubs). If necessary, store food
in refrigerator while preparing Rotisserie.
Before placing any items to be cooked onto the Rotisserie Bar
Assembly or Adjustable Flat Basket, we suggest familiarizing your-
self with how the Rotisserie operates and how each accessory is
assembled and used in the Rotisserie.
Rotisserie Bar Assembly
1. Locate the Rotisserie Bar Assembly.
2. The Rotisserie Bar assembly consists of two End Wheels. One
End Wheel (N) has a gear, center bar and two meat tines
attached to it. The other End Wheel (M) has two meat tines and
a Thumb Screw locking device. 
3. Loosen the Thumb Screw and pull the End Wheel off the center
bar of the Rotisserie Bar Assembly. Carefully slide the food to
be cooked onto the center bar and meat tines of the geared
End Wheel. 
4. Once the food is in place, align the End Wheel with the center
bar of the Rotisserie Bar Assembly. Push the End Wheel with
Thumb Screw toward the geared End wheel as far as possible.
Tighten the Thumb Screw to lock the End Wheel in place.
Preparing for Use

Chicken Rub
1 Tablespoon pepper or cracked peppercorn
2-4 Tablespoons salt
1/2 Tablespoon tarragon
Note: Measurements will vary due to sizes of the meat. As a rule,
use 1-2 Tablespoons of rub ingredients per pound of food. For a

to marinate overnight in the refrigerator, turning from time to time.
This marinade is the best for most kinds of meat including venison
and tougher cuts of meat. Place meat on Rotisserie Bar Assembly
and insert into Rotisserie. Set timer for 2 1/4-3 1/4 hours or until

garlic and spices to make a thick sauce. Brush each steak with the
mustard mixture and turn to coat both sides. Cover the steaks with
plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours to blend
the flavors. Place the steaks in the Adjustable Flat Basket and
insert into Rotisserie. Discard any remaining sauce. Set the Timer

Introduction
Your Baby George™Rotisserie is a full-featured Rotisserie with a
powerful motor and a heavy-duty Rotisserie Bar Assembly.
Complete with all the accessories you’ll need, your Baby George
™
Rotisserie allows you to cook anything from delicate fish or vegeta-
bles to poultry items and hamburgers! Cook fish or hamburgers in
the Adjustable Flat Basket and roasts or poultry on the Rotisserie
Bar Assembly. Any way you cook it—it’s healthy and delicious!
Rotisserie
Foods which are cooked on a Rotisserie are extra flavorful,
because they are self-basted with their own juices. Foods are more
healthful as fat can drip down, away from the food during cooking.
Carefully center food (especially food with a bone in it) on the
Rotisserie Bar Assembly, as unbalanced food will cause a jerking
motion during cooking. This causes undue stress on the Motor.
Adjust food as necessary.
No food should touch the Heating Element or walls of the unit. Use
cooking string to tie all poultry; some meats also require tying. Trim
food if necessary. 
Before cooking poultry, clean inside of cavity removing giblets and
neck, then tie bird with cooking string. Secure legs together with
string and secure with a knot. Or, use the legs-ties that may come
on the bird. Next, truss the thighs by wrapping string around the
largest part of the thigh and secure with a knot. Wrap string around
breast securing wings snugly next to body of bird and secure with
a knot. Cut off excess string. Refer to the "Cooking Chart" for max-
imum size of food.

							Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to
fit into a polarized outlet only one way.  If the plug does not fit fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qual-
ified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
Short Cord Instructions
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
If a longer extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of
the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rat-
ing of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Electric Power
If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appli-
ance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a sepa-
rate electrical circuit from other appliances.
