So how many revolutions per minute do the al pastor machines in Mexico make? I mean the ones you see in downtown Playa. If anyone either knows or could count one for me this is a starting point. Thanks for all of the great post of help on this.  |
Skip the motor completely. All around the country the rotation is done by hand. Because it completely depends on one thing: the flame you are using.
If there are lots of customers the cook will turn the heat on and while slicing the front part, the back will get cooked. As the guy goes cutting slices he rotates the thing a little bit and another part gets into the flame. When business is slow, the flame goes down and so the meat can stay still for a longer time.
Also, if you are making it for your personal use, you donīt need to invest that much, How many guests are you willing to feed at one time?
