rotisserie that they have to at least put it on a hotplate for a few seconds

Rotisserie? hotplate?

 

Fark Frank, we use a spit here

 

yeah, although that is a great way to cook meat, that's not the way you cook kebab meat... that's how I get my charcoal chicken, speaking of spit roasted food

Yeah why cook processed meat a better way.

Pretty sure the turks cook it on a spit 

a vertical rotisserie, yeah... not using charcoal/fire to cook it, but just regular old heat.

Regular old heat u say?

 

Like fire?

nah, like this ->

 

makes me hungry just looking at all of the images to find that one

Rofl.

 

You reckon "kebab meat" is traditionally cooked on an upright, stainless steel gas/electric "not a rotisserie"?

 

They put the meat on the grill to try and replicate the crisp bits you get over fire

it's a rotisserie... that's my point. lol it's the same as a spit, just with regular element heaters instead of fire/charcoal and it's vertical rather than horizontal.

 

I don't care about traditional methods of cooking versus newer more efficient methods, as long as the meat is properly cooked. I don't care for the "fire" effect. The grill warms it up, but doesn't make it much crispier, in my experience.

This meat will taste better than any shop bought kebab/gyro/souva you've ever tried.

 

I agree. But I don't want to waste that sort of cooked meat by eating it with anything else

 

What I want in a kebab is specific:

1. Good quality and flavoured meat cooked completely and warm/hot to bite through with a reasonably thick cut.

2. Fluffy and warm/hot turkish "loaf" style kebab bread

3. No garlic sauce or only a tiny bit.

4. A reasonable ratio of hot chilli sauce so as to incorporate the flavour of the chilli without overwhelming the meat flavour.

5. fresh lettuce, tomato and onion.

 

I'm not a hard person to please with a what I call a "decent" kebab, but most places fail hard on 1 or more of those requirements. I'm not expecting perfection with fast food, just a good enough quality to want to return for a quick tasty kebab
