Abstract: A rotisserie mechanism utilizing a base member having a first portion and second portions which are angularly disposed relative to one another. The first and second portions may take the form of a pair of racks and are held to a rotisserie rod. A holding element is locked to the base member and includes a locking device for fastening the holding element thereto. Thus, food items to be cooked on a rotisserie are clipped to the rotisserie rod by the base member and holding element. The rod is easily disengaged from the turning motor and includes block supports and a stop that prevents the rod from accidentally moving downwardly into the source of heat.
