What Can You Cook In The Auspit Spitmate?

The Auspit Spitmate is a rotating cooking basket designed for smaller foods that are difficult to secure on a skewer or easy to lose through a standard grill.

Available in Junior and Medium sizes, it slides onto the Auspit pole, fastens into place, and tumbles food continuously over the fire. This helps ingredients cook evenly without constant stirring or turning.

How Does The Auspit Spitmate Work?

Using the Spitmate is simple.

Open the basket, add your ingredients, close the lid, slide it onto the Auspit pole, then tighten it securely. Once the motor starts, the basket rotates and gently tumbles the food over the heat.

This continuous movement helps create even colour, consistent cooking, and crispy edges on every side.

What Can You Cook In A Spitmate?

The Spitmate works with a wide range of foods, including:

Potatoes

Parboil potatoes first, season them with oil, rosemary, and salt, then roast them over hot coals until crisp outside and fluffy inside.

Chicken Wings

Season or marinate your wings, load them into the basket, and let them tumble over steady charcoal heat. The rotation helps them colour evenly and develop a crispy finish.

Popcorn

Add popcorn kernels to the basket and rotate them over the fire for a fun campsite snack. Keep the basket moving and listen for the popping to slow before removing it from the heat.

Coffee Beans

The Spitmate can also be used to roast coffee beans over fire. The continuous tumbling helps expose the beans evenly to the heat while they develop colour and aroma.

Vegetables And Small Meat Pieces

Pumpkin, onions, mushrooms, diced lamb, and marinated chicken pieces can all work well in a rotating cooking basket. Keep the pieces reasonably even in size so they cook at a similar rate.

Spitmate Junior Or Medium?

The Spitmate Junior is ideal for smaller portions, side dishes, and compact camping setups.

The Spitmate Medium gives you more room for family meals, larger batches of wings, potatoes, or vegetables.

Both attach and operate in the same simple way. The right choice depends on how many people you normally cook for.

Why Use A Rotating Cooking Basket?

The biggest benefit is convenience.

The Spitmate keeps food moving so you do not have to stand over the fire constantly turning every piece. It also prevents smaller ingredients from falling into the coals.

This makes it a useful accessory for campsite snacks, side dishes, quick meals, and anything that benefits from even tumbling over charcoal.

More Ways To Use Your Auspit

The Auspit Spitmate turns your rotisserie into more than a setup for large roasts.

You can cook crispy potatoes, wings, vegetables, popcorn, coffee beans, and smaller pieces of meat, all while the motor handles the turning.

Load it up, secure it properly, and let the Spitmate do the work.
