How to get tips for cooking equipment (8)

I believe the answer is:

turnspit

'cooking equipment' is the definition.
(turnspit can mean a spit for turning meat)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for turnspit that I've seen before include "You have rotisserie" , "Former kitchen servant" , "old servant who cooks" , "Old roast attendant" , "Servant who was involved in roasting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
