Rotisserie Pork Loin

[Kelly C]

Took the new roti out for it’s maiden voyage spin today with a pork loin. Started off with a maple brine for 8 hours. Next time will do probably 4 hours...a bit too salty tasting. Wrapped one in bacon and dusted the other in Danos seasoning. Both were Was extremely moist and full of flavor. I really like this rotisserie. Should have gotten one a long time ago.

Very nice looking cook Kelly. I always suffer from dry pork loins think I'll give the roti a try next time.

Doing a wet brine is the key to a moist pork loin in my opinion.

looks really good! the 'roti' is a great accessary -

How long would others have left a 5lb pork loin in a wet brine to help ensure moist meat, but without making it taste salty?

I did a 6 lb pork loin, brined for 12 hours, it was perfect. I used one of kosher salt to one gallon of water,

One cup?

What Rotis did you end up buying? I am in the market for one and all I heard so far was Cajun bandit, while I have also seen the Weber on and a no name type that is about half price of all the rest.

OneGrill is the one I like the best of the four that I have had. More powerful! Not sure you can get it here in Canada, I bought mine in the USA. Their customer service is supposed to be good as well.

Thank you I will need to look into that, the lesser price one I was speaking about is brand name - OnlyFire - and it is on amazon at about 1/2 the price of what the weber brands costs. I also cannot get my hands on a Cajun Bandit as the shipping options are limited to the USA according to their site. I am awfully nervous to buy the cheapest rotis I can find too..........

Let me know about which rotis you went with Thanks!

Not always true. Cooking to the proper internal temp is the most important step to getting a moist pork loin or for that matter any cut of meat.

 

[Kelly C]

Good point Case. I agree. Pulled the loin when internal temp hit 155 and it was very moist. The brand of roti I went with was Weber.

Darryl, the OnlyFire that I see says it will spin 40 lbs and the motor is 4 watts. Weber is 9W and says 20 lbs while the OneGrill is 13W and rated 40 lbs. The OneGrill also has a 3/8” one piece spit rod while the OnlyFire and the Weber have a one piece 5/16” rod. If you are not spinning a large turkey you are probably fine with the Weber but the 4W seems too low. IMHO.

The details, I haven't had time to look into it, thanks! Will look into what I plan to use it for.

Even well-balanced take some energy to turn. But 4 watts. Well okay... power efficiency/loss, friction, balance, torque transfer. Well done i say.
