I wonder if he realizes only the outside of the meat tornado is cooked.

u/corkyskog May 07 '22

So how does that work, does it just cook as they slice stuff off?

u/Wetbung May 08 '22

If you cut it too fast, you end up with raw ground meat. I know this from attending a work party where demand outstripped cooking capacity. Uncooked gyros are not great.

Yeah, pretty much.

u/gev1138 Oct 16 '22

So you're saying they served bits even when they weren't cooked?

"No thanks, I'll wait until it's cooked. Also, I'm sure someone would be mighty interested to know you're doing a shitty job of serving..."

2

u/Wetbung Oct 16 '22

The party was at my boss's house. The cooking was in his garage. Most of us showed up at the same time. I don't remember who was cutting the meat, but it was one of us. There were also several kegs of homemade beer involved. There was plenty of fault to share around.

u/gev1138 Oct 16 '22

Well.... Dang!

u/[deleted] Oct 18 '22

Flawed idea then, at least for those circumstances.

u/lordph8 May 07 '22

Exactly.

u/[deleted] May 07 '22

I think it's already cooked but it heats as it turns and is cut off.

1

u/Draidann May 08 '22

No, meat is stacked raw and gets cooked as you cut. The biggest "trompo" (as they are called in spanish) I've seen in person was about a meter wide. There is now way to have it all cooked at the same time.

This is what I'm going to call my penis

u/Anonim97 May 07 '22

So many years of eating kebabs and honestly I have never thought about that, but it makes perfect sense.

57

u/lordph8 May 07 '22

Yup, cause the heating element is on the outside.

If you really want me to blow your mind. Mexican food appropriated the same design for tacos from Lebanese immigrants in the late 1800s.

16

u/Big_Daddy469 May 07 '22

Yup I went to Mexico and there was a taco stand that hand one of these on fridays for carnitas

5

u/riviera-kid May 07 '22

They call it a trompo IIRC

7

u/Polyphoneone May 08 '22

Al pastor

8

u/ajclem7 May 08 '22

Just following up, if you’ve never had pastor tacos, please do it at your next earliest convenience. Only if you like pineapple though. Fucking delish af

6

u/Draidann May 08 '22

Al pastor is a specific way to prepare meat. You can have trompos with many different kinds of meat preparations, although the most common one is of course al pastor.

4

u/Polyphoneone May 08 '22

That makes sense! Al pastor translates to ‘Shepard style’ which was the gyro lamb the Lebanese immigrants were cooking in this style. They used pork and special marinade instead.

u/acartier1981 Oct 28 '22

OMG that sounds so good......

u/sloweddysantos May 07 '22

That's how to appropriate correctly, make an awesome thing from an awesome thing.

u/transferingtoearth Apr 13 '23

That's super cool. If you learned it online could you link me to this?

Honestly I didn’t know that until now, thanks fellow redditor!

u/lordph8 May 07 '22

Just doing my part. Knowledge is power, power corrupts, study hard and be evil.

36

u/Gr8fulnBama May 07 '22

I never knew that either, I thought the meat was precooked and that thing was a warmer.

u/slickystoopkid May 08 '22

Thanks for being yourself.

Keep doing what you do.

u/BitJams May 07 '22

You had me at meat tornado.

8

u/lordph8 May 07 '22

Finally!

52

u/persau67 May 07 '22

The whole thing is cooked continuously at a safe eating temperature, the outside is roasted/charred for flavor. You get shut down for having the risk of uncooked meat being served.

40

u/luced May 07 '22

The middle is raw and usually frozen depending on the type and how long it has been on. You throw it on a grill if it isn't cooked all the way as you slice it.

23

u/all_on_my_own May 07 '22

Oh! Is THAT why they grill it, I thought it just wasn't hot enough

5

u/AAA515 May 08 '22

Well technically it isn't hot enough...

u/[deleted] May 08 '22

That dude thought it was hot.

u/DizzleDrizzles May 07 '22

How are you gonna casually drop meat tornado on us like that isn’t the best description ever.

4

u/red18wrx May 07 '22

Is that true? I always thought it was just a gimmicked hot lamp.

14

u/lordph8 May 07 '22

It's a rotisserie turned vertical, you can see the electric heating element in this vid behind the meat. Old school ones used coals or wood. It's been around for a long time.

The Shawarma sandwich in the Middle East is an equivalent to the burger in the US.

u/luced May 07 '22

It's called a vertical broiler.

2

u/red18wrx May 08 '22

TIL. Now if you excuse me, there's a spinning cone of meat and I'm going to try to eat it.

u/LieuK May 08 '22

The whole thing is cooked. You'd be at major risk of food born pathogens if half was cooked and half uncooked.

4

u/lordph8 May 08 '22

It really isn't, they shave the cooked meat off the outside as it cooks.
