  • On Ev's shed I show you how to cook a whole lamb on a rotisserie spit Greek style. How to baste the lamb using butter, sea salt, pepper and lemon, this will make the lamb meat moist and the skin crispy. I use 4kg of briquettes to get the fire started and then 10kg of charcoal over the coarse of the cooking.
    The lamb is 17kg and fed 25 people. Cooking time was 4.5hrs. I wanted to slow cook the meat and not dry it out. This worked out well as the the lamb meat cooked right through and stayed moist. I suggest that you cut the meat and serve from the rotisserie spit. This keeps the meat hot and moist and guests can the select the cut they want to eat.
    If you can try to setup and season the lamb on the rotisserie rod the day before. Watch How to season and set up a lamb on the rotisserie spit.
    Enjoy.

    Ive spit roasted lamb a few times but I still like to see what other more experienced guys do and your video was simple and great. Thank you.
    I do similar but with my baste I use olive oil, lemon and oregano. Salt and cracked pepper liberally to start.
    You have motivated me to do another one next weekend after fartoo long!
    Thanks

    In Croatia we also drizzle the lamb with bear while on a spit, gives it a fantastic taste.

      I am from Bosnia and cold beer just fucks up the meat... I've seen people do it, but should be hot beer if so...
      I also think he overdone this. This lamb looked large, but colour of it at the end wasn't right. I roasted lamb for four hours before, but never longer.
      As soon as bone joints crack: It's done.
      I also think he should had explained that you need good heat at the beginning so the crust forms (not burn it), which helps the meat stay moist inside; later keep heat little lower so not to get that burned surface he got (ugliest colour ever).
      The best roasted lamb you could eat is in Jablanica, but now all Balkan countries will argue with me, even Slovenians (they got awesome roasted lamb too).

    Really amazing cooking. Getting that balance of crispy, juicy, and tender is what all chefs strive for. One suggestion to your amazing lamb, try some hardwoods with your coals, I'm bet a few chunks of oak will really add a nice aroma. Wonderful job! Can't wait to buy/build me one of these

    I think you forgot the oregano in the basting at the beginning or maybe you put it later but we used to take a lamb up to Bathurst every year for the races and couldn’t get through ourselves but we shared it with other people on the mountain and made heaps of mates, miss those days though

    Nice spit, nice coals, nice tying of the lamb, good belly tailoring, nice lamb. Salt and peper only inside belly, no batter, just lemon oil and origano out side during roasting. At the begining a litle bit higher (250mm) at the first hour when coals are in hight heat, after the heat reduce in possition like you have it now. At the end you can see that the best part of the lamd the skin, its burn more than regular and the meat inside getting dry. I like it any way and i ask you understanding for my remarks.

    I'm curious...where can I get one of those spit rotisserie machine with a motor, I really like the specific model that u have, you made a exellent roast. Although, I did read some negative comments l about the method, I wouldn't pay attention to those assholes especially when they never made a roast vid themselves. I personally think you did great and made me hungry too.

    Hi there, great video! I did exactly the same as you but the leg and shoulder came out quite tough and dry. It was on the spit for a total for 4 hours. Please help me lol. Any advice?

    • @evsshed5034
      @evsshed5034  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm glad to hear you you gave it a go. The reason the leg and shoulder came out dry, could be due to too much heat on those areas and not enough basting. When you see the meat start coming off the bone on the leg or shoulder means it's almost ready. Stick a fork in and try the meat. I have been doing this for years and it does take practice after a while you get the feel of when there is too much heat or not enough. Keep trying and the more you cook the better you will get.

      My father made it after years of cooking on the spit he designed his own and got a friend to weld the stainless steel. I have videos on the spit check them out( Rotisserie Spit Review video). If this is your first time doing a spit I would recommend a simple cheap steel one, but make sure it will fit a whole lamb on it (the measurements of the spit are on the Rotisserie Spit Review video), however if you are going to do this on a regular basis then stainless steel is the way to go.

    That is not how you cook the lamb ,im greek and i do this least 6 of them a year .
    You should always have different heights ,and u need to start high for least 4 hours, 2 hours in the middle ,and 1 low on rhe spit
    And you never marinated the lamb while is cooking ,or you cook the skin much and the inside raw .
    For soft meat need to leave it alone to cook and boil inside in temperature least 165 .
    And lemon always goes when the lamb is cooked 100% and cut
    My friend someone teached you wrong

      I'm not Greek but I've been to many gatherings and preparations for lamb spit. Lemon stuffed inside, good salt rub and brushed on during the cooking basic lemon,oregano,oil Brushed on. My god it taste incredible. There is no wrong way long as you cook it 100% it will taste great how ever you cooked it.
      You can't say you cooked it wrong to someone who just cooked a lamb on video without trouble.
