Try Butternut Squash in Your Doregrill Rotisserie This Fall

Doregrill rotisserie ovens are workhorses in foodservice operations. Day in and day out, they deliver perfectly golden chickens that draw customers to hot food bars and quick-service counters. Yet as the darker months of the year arrive, consumer preferences shift toward heartier, seasonal flavors. Kitchen operators should ask themselves, are they maximizing their commercial rotisserie's full potential?

Spoiler: for those only rotating chickens this fall and winter, there's revenue (and culinary creativity!) being left on the table!

Doregrill Magflam Ovens Have Untapped Versatility

Doregrill rotisserie ovens from 1515 Design weren't engineered for single-purpose use. Built with decades of European craftsmanship, these systems deliver consistent, powerful heat distribution that works cohesively across a range of proteins, vegetables, and even fruits. The result? Menu diversification that doesn't require additional equipment investment or kitchen space.

For foodservice operators managing tight margins and limited square footage, this versatility translates directly to ROI: one Doregrill rotisserie yields multiple revenue streams.

Roast Seasonal Foods in Your Doregrill Mag to Boost Profit

Rotisseries Love Root Vegetables:

• Butternut squash: Halved and slowly rotated, the natural sugars caramelize into a sweet, smoky finish that's perfect for buffet displays or plated sides

• Sweet potatoes: Whole or halved, these cook evenly and emerge with crispy, caramelized skin and fluffy interiors; deal for grab-and-go meals or upscale deli counters

• Carrots: Large, whole carrots develop an intensely sweet, roasted flavor that elevates any autumn menu

• Beets: Rotisserie beets offer deep, earthy flavor with minimal prep and stunning visual appeal when sliced for salads or grain bowls.

  
  

Operational advantage: Root vegetables require little to no monitoring once loaded. Operators can set the commercial rotisserie, walk away, and return to perfectly cooked, display-ready product.

Best Rotisserie Oven Secret? Roast Fruits with Spices:

• Apples: Cored and seasoned with cinnamon, nutmeg, or clove, the slow rotation bastes the fruit in its own juices, creating a dessert-worthy dish with minimal labor.

• Pineapple: Rotisserie pineapple caramelizes naturally and pairs beautifully with ham, pork, or as a standalone tropical accent in fall menus looking to stand out.

  
  

Customer appeal: These items photograph exceptionally well and create visual interest in a Doregrill display case which is critical for driving impulse purchases in supermarket "grab-n-go" sections.

Gas Spit-Roast Ovens Are Tired of Chicken:

• Cornish hens – Smaller portion sizes appeal to singles and couples. They cook faster than full chickens and command premium pricing due to their upscale perception.

• Turkey – Whole turkeys or turkey breasts rotate beautifully and tap into seasonal demand. Perfect for catering orders, holiday prep, or grab-and-go family meals.

• Ham – Glazed, slow-rotated ham offers a show-cooking element that draws foot traffic and creates an immersive sensory experience (the aroma alone is a sales tool).

  
  

Service insight: Because 1515 Design's rotisserie ovens are engineered for consistent heat and load capacity, operators can mix proteins and vegetables on the same cycle without cross-contamination or uneven cooking, a critical factor for operations running with lean labor.

Why Creative Thinking Matters With Commercial Rotisserie Ovens

Menu diversification isn't just about creativity. It's about:

• Increasing average transaction value: Offering premium seasonal items allows operations to capture higher price points.

• Reducing food waste: Seasonal produce is abundant and affordable in fall; using existing equipment to feature it maximizes margin.

• Differentiating the brand: Competitors rotating the same chickens every day create an opportunity to stand out.

• Driving repeat visits: Seasonal variety gives customers a reason to return and see "what's new."

  
  

Doregrill rotisserie ovens are built to last, meaning operators aren't adding operational complexity or maintenance risk by expanding their menus. They're simply using the best commercial oven on the market as it was designed to be used.
