Founded in 1934, DCS engineers all its grills to provide the same amount of practicality and power demanded by professional chefs. In addition to grills, DCS sells refrigeration, storage, and heating products. It is owned by Fisher and Paykel, which has engineered some of the most technically-advanced and efficient products.

Rotisserie grills help meat preserve flavor and moisture, which is achieved by constant and frequent rotation of the grill's interior, adding juiciness and flavor. They are generally wider than other grills, so you can prepare an entire roast or chicken. They generally feature a spike and motor, which ensures that your food is constantly rotating on the grill. However, they require a drip pan, so it's important to add some moisture to the pan since there is always the risk of the grease causing a flare-up.
