Provided is a method of cooking foodstuff items impaled on skewers that are disposed in a generally upright attitude upon or above the pyrogenous material heat source provided by a barbecue (52), the skewers being surrounded by a hollow chamber (40) of bulbous form provided with an open bottom (67) above the heat source (55) and with an open top (64) from which handles of the skewers (65) generally extend. The apparatus for use in the method can be a conventional barbecue modified by an accessory providing said hollow chamber as a removable item. The skewers rest with their lower ends on the heat source and have a length commensurate with (preferably greater than) the height of the hollow chamber (60), i.e. the distance between its upper and lower ends such that the handles of the skewers project out of the open upper end of the hollow chamber. In another embodiment, the apparatus comprises a hollow chamber having an open upper end and an open lower end. The lower opening is removably positionable proximal to a heat source. The cross sectional area of the chamber is greater at an intermediate height location between the upper end and the lower end such as to provide the chamber with a bulbous form. |
