Showtime Modern Rotisserie

This rotisserie will cook meat up to 12 pounds. It is exceedingly simple to operate, it is quiet, it cooks well and evenly, and it is easy to clean. I have cooked in this a number of times now, (chicken, ham, ribeye roast, and turkey) and I have been pleased each time. If you are thinking of getting a rotisserie, I would highly suggest this model and brand. It is fairly compact, and I was able to set mine on top of my microwave.

My parents gave me an old Ronco rotisserie years ago. I believe it was one of the very early models when they were sold via Infomercials on late night TV. It was one of the best Ronco inventions that was ever sold on those infomercials! The plastic base finally cracked to the point where I couldn't use it anywhere. I had fixed it once, but the glass door would no longer stay on and was unfixable. This is one of those kitchen appliances that you think, "Do I really need this?" The first one was given to me so when it couldn't be used any longer I had to make a decision as to whether I should spend $100 to replace it. The answer was 'yes'! This rotisserie makes cooking a chicken so delicious, so juicy and so easy that I couldn't imagine just roasting a chicken in the oven, again. The spits are sharp and easily fit into the chicken and onto the gears which rotate the chicken. There is a rotisserie function or just a rotate function (without heat). My model has a dial to set the temperature (figure 15 min/lb for the chicken). The instructions say that the spits can hold two chickens but the one time I tried two chickens they were too big and didn't rotate properly. I also cooked a boneless beef roast that was around 5lbs and it came out incredible and medium rare. You can also rotisserie a small turkey. I had done that once and it was also amazingly juicy. The product comes with a base on which to put the spits after cooking so you can slice beef, but I have never used it. The pan and pan top (onto which the grease drips) is easy to clean if you line the pan with aluminum foil, first. When my food is finished cooking and I've taken it out of the rotisserie, I clean the rotisserie right away, as it's much easier when everything is hot. As the unit cools down a bit, I take glass cleaner to clean the inside of the glass that usually has grease spatters. The product also comes with rubber/vinyl heatproof gloves to use to remove the spits from the rotisserie after the food is done cooking. I think the original was built a bit better than this, but that's usually the case as years go on, companies design products to be made less expensively. Even with this being slightly less impressive than the original model, I will continue to use on a regular basis. If you like rotisserie chicken from Costco, imagine having the chicken come out JUST as juicy at home with your own concoction of rub ingredients!!

This thing is nice! Easier than my gas rotisserie as this is set and forget. First run we did a 3 pound rib roast. Hour and 15 mins later came out perfectly ! Nice crust outside and juicy inside .

This is awesome! Sharp looking, love the stainless steel. It's roomy and sturdy! Easy to clean. So versatile, it cooks chicken and rib eye perfectly and with ease!

It turns very slow unlike the original one I had but it browns the chicken OK. You should read the instructions as it has 2 settings A&B and some other changes. It seems to baste the chicken fine and cooks quickly. I am still nervous about the motor and hope it doesn't give out. So far so good and I enjoy having a larger rotisserie so my prime rib can easily fit. When I first used it the light flickered but it stopped after 15 minutes? Works fine now. I thought they were out of business so jumped on buying it.

I had the extra large one years and years ago. I gave it to my friend thinking I would buy another, turns out that big one is discontinued. But this is great even though it's a tad smaller. My favorite way to cook my turkey. Amazing results everytime.

The oven is very well made and easy to clean, the design is carefully thought out and simple, instructions are clear and easy to follow. My first chicken was delicious — golden brown and juicy. I’m looking forward to trying other foods such as leg of lamb. I am an experienced cook and I appreciated how easy it was to cook a perfect chicken. I think it would be a great gift to a new cook or a busy person who needs to get meals on the table quickly. It’s almost fool proof.

Love this machine. Since getting this I have of course cooked whole chicken, but also beef roasts, boneless chicken thighs and chicken tenders. All have come out beautifully. One thing invest in a good meat thermometer it has made judging doneness much easier.
