Lamb and Beef Gyros - Vertical rotisserie

[Chris_in_SoCal]

Wow man....bet that was a hit at the party! I have always wanted to try my hand at Shwarma using a greaseless turkey fryer...just put a bar on top of the fryer to hang the shwarma down into the fryer. And that sauce looks great!

I don't see any reason that would not work.

I could imagine the posts you would make if you had the same tools.

This time I tried a little different way of marinading it using a Greek yogurt and tomato paste marinade with a bunch of spices. This sat in the fridge for three days.

The last few times I have used a sharp knife and a paper plate to trim the gyro bitching and complaining to myself the whole time. Now I have moved on to a proper cordless trimmer and a catch pan.

The smell was so good I was sure this would be a success.

As it cooks, you turn down the burners, stop the rotation and trim away. Rotate 90* and repeat. Turn the burners up and continue.

All trimmed up.

All the veggies were used up. I will get more tomorrow. It's a meat and tzatziki sauce only one for tonight.

Great job, our Elks Lodge here does that as a fundraiser every year. Not hi-jacking your thread but this is me with the cutter getting ready to trim it down.

Oh man, those Gyro's look killer! Very well done, Chris.

Yes Chris, I have a few things I would like to do with a vertical cooker like that
