VEVOR Shawarma Grill Machine, 13 lbs Capacity, Chicken Shawarma Cooker Machine with 2 Burners, Gas Vertical Broiler Gyro Rotisserie Oven Doner Kebab Machine, for Home Restaurant Kitchen Parties

I bought this vertical rotisserie so I could make authentic Al Pastor tacos for a big party we planned. It's not dirt cheap, by any means, but the price is reasonable if you entertain and enjoy cooking. For my purposes, it was worth taking a chance on it. I did a test run with a relatively small amount of Greek chicken, cooked shawarma style, and that turned out great. When it came time to make the Al Pastor for the party and stack up the meat to build up the trompo, it all went very well. I piled on the marinated meat along with pineapples and onions and wrapped it up to sit and firm up in the fridge. I put it on to start cooking about an hour and a half before I expected guests to arrive and it was perfect timing. I adjusted the heat up and down as needed and we cooked and sliced off meat for about 2 more hours. The propane burners provide plenty of heat and are very adjustable. The resulting tacos were great! Perfect street-food style just as you'd expect in Mexico City. :) I'd say that the 13 lb capacity might be a little ambitious. I probably got 10 lbs of sliced pork on the spit but I also had some pineapple, etc. It's probably capable of 13 lbs but it would take some careful stacking and trimming. I'd seen from other reviews that the grease pan is too shallow and will definitely leak if it gets very full at all. I fixed that by installing a short length of 1/2" silicone tubing in the hole in the grease pan. It's a tight fit in the pan and a tight fit over the shaft that turns the spit. Not a drop of grease went anywhere but the pan. We'll have to see how well it holds up to repeated use but all in all, I'm very pleased with it and I expect to make good use of this machine. I've promised my German friends that next time we'll do Doner Kebab. :)

Good Product

I got this product recently and I love using it since it is portable and easy to connect and operate it The only problem I have with it is that the sparkler is not working I can hear the clicking but nothing lighting up the flame and have to use a lighter also I wish that the bottom plate was a little bit bigger so anything drips would catch it and not making too much mess. another issue I see is that when trying to put veggies on the top, can't leave them there and have to take them out because it is getting too hot, and can't have the veggie hot added to the sandwich since have to remove them and get sticky. would be nice to have a removable panel on the top. but overall is great with this price specially.

Great for any foodie. Useful for al pastor and gyros as well.

Is it the cheapest shawarma maker you can get? Yes. Does it work? Kind of. It arrived with a broken on/off switch, which I replaced. The flame constantly goes out even with the smallest gust of wind. Its own ignition will not start the machine so I use a blowtorch. It spins too fast to actually cut anything while it on, thus you have to kill the flame slice meat and toggle the rotation switch to slice meat without burning the other side. The drip tray is terrible. Also If the flame goes out gas keeps flowing. It was tolerable at most for a one time event, but I would not buy this machine again. I absolutely do not recommend it to anyone for any reason. Edit: This stupid thing is a death trap, not one of the cut stainless edges are deburred. It has razor sharp edges everywhere. I can’t believe this is being sold.

I bought as a Christmas present for my son and he loved it. It’s built strong.

Wow! We love this thing, the reviews made us skeptical but we had absolutely no issues making gyros and our meat cooked perfectly in about 45-50 minutes. We cooked on high for about 10-15 minutes then low slow for the rest of the time. We were very confused because it worked so well, I’m sure those were valid issues everyone else had but frankly we wonder if it’s user error lol. Don’t forget to put water on top because we did for about 10 minutes.

Súper buena

Amazing machine.

Great option for Tacos al pastor. Good value, easy to use, and decent price
