rotisseries

Spinning meat ovens

Rotisseries is the plural of rotisserie—a cooking apparatus that slowly turns meat on a spit over a heat source, allowing it to cook evenly and baste in its own juices.

The term also applies to shops or restaurants specializing in spit-roasted meats: The neighborhood has two rotisseries known for their chicken.

In fantasy sports, rotisserie leagues use cumulative statistical rankings rather than head-to-head competition.
