The performance has begun. The audience is glued to the spot while the actors spin in two directions at the same time. More customers gather, drawn by the smell, the scent of the performers…wait, what? It is, of course, the rotisserie. A lifesaver for busy parents. An entertainment center for their hungry children. A powerful profit driver for convenience stores, grocery delis and even restaurants.

So where do you start?

As the originator and reigning industry leader in rotisserie ovens, it’s no surprise that BKI offers the best oven in the business. But before you decide which BKI rotisserie you want, ask yourself some simple questions.

• How much volume do you plan on?
• How much room are you willing to dedicate to your rotisserie?
• Is it “back of the kitchen” or in front of the house where the public can see—and smell—it? Maybe it’s in between?

Why should I buy BKI?

Tackling the last first, BKI is known for unstinting quality and innovation. While it’s true we —as the Barbecue King Company—were the inventors of the original rotary oven in 1950, we’ve never stopped innovating.

The VGG series.

The BKI® VGG series of rotisseries can cook up to 80 3-lb chickens in 75 minutes. The Touchscreen controls feature 15 customizable cook and hold program settings to increase your menu offerings—and even offer a bi-lingual option so they can be operated in English or Spanish. Safety concerns are addressed with innovations like cool door technology and sensors that stop rotation when the door in opened. The quick-clean design will save time for your staff and increase your profitability.

All BKI® rotisseries sport more features than it’s feasible to include in a single article. We’d love to tell you more and answer any questions you have. Please contact:

A beautiful prime rib is just the thing to give even the smallest restaurant a big reputation. While this big hunk of wonderful meat might seem intimidating, with the right equipment your top menu item can be sublime every time. Here’s how.

Preparation

Meat—Use a Choice quality rib roast.

Cut the bone from the roast and then tie it back on with butcher’s twine. This will give you a roast portion for an entree and rib section for an appetizer, as well as beautifully cooked meat.

Score the top of the roast with Xs between the butcher’s twine. Place the rib fat cap up. Rub—And if you know meat you know it is always about the rub! First, drizzle 1/2 cup of Worcester sauce over the roast and rub in. Dust with: Pepper, Garlic Salt, and Thyme

Now, you’re ready to roast!

Choose your oven

BKI offers a wide range of ovens to fit your kitchen perfectly. Below, I am cooking prime rib in the BKI® Combi Oven which offers superior humidity control within the cooking chamber and programmable recipes.
