Crossword Genius

Cooking device turns and tilts (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tips

'tilts' is the definition.
('tip' can be a synonym of 'tilt')

'cooking device turns' is the wordplay.
'cooking device' becomes 'spit' (I've seen this in another clue).
'turns' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'spit' written backwards gives 'TIPS'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tips that I've seen before include "extra payments" , "Ends" , "Areas for dumping waste" , "leavings in restaurant?" , "Gratuties" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
