Product Description

Who needs all that extra fat anyway? With the rotisserie cooking methond, fat drips off and food is evenly exposed to moist heat. The result is tender, flavorful food that tastes better and is better for you. What's not to love?

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Kitchen Appliance I've Bought, May 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Popeil Jr. Showtime Rotisserie and Barbecue (Kitchen)

I don't ordinarily buy things I see on TV infomercials, but my husband bought the Showtime Rotisserie for Christmas this year and it's the best kitchen appliance we've purchased! Everything we have made in it comes out tasting fantastic. We've done game hens, chicken, fish, roast beef, pork and ribs in it, and everything is absolutely delicious! Clean-up is easy, especially if you cover the drip tray in aluminum foil. The only part that is impossible to clean is behind the heating element. I wish they would make it removable.
Everything cooks much faster than in a conventional oven, and you use less marinade and basting sauces than you would in a conventional oven or BBQ grill. The Junior is the perfect size for 1 or 2 people. Buy the black, as the white has discolored a bit from the heat.
You can quiet the noise referred to in a previous review by placing a drop or two of cooking oil on the gears inside the oven, and where the spit rests (the factory told us this).

1.0 out of 5 stars you might get your goose cooked too, March 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Popeil Jr. Showtime Rotisserie and Barbecue (Kitchen)

I used this for a little over a year,but only made 6 meals with it.The seventh time I used it the electricmotor did not spin the rotisserie. I am an electrician by trade,and after examining the unit, found out that the contacts inside the three way switch that controls the rotation had gotten hot and melted the plastic housing. I called ronco customer service and and they told me to send the unit in and for $79 they would replace it. I told them that I just needed a $3 switch they then said that ronco does not sell any replacement parts but if anything goes wrong they have an exchange policy only.Call them for yourself and you will see. It looks good and cooks chicken well but it can also cook your goose if even a knob or anything else breaks on this machine and you have to send the whole unit in for a rebuilt exchange unit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Chicken, October 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Popeil Jr. Showtime Rotisserie and Barbecue (Kitchen)

We have used the Rotisserie for chicken and turkey. They come out very moist and flavorful. We really like how the fat drips away from your food which makes it more healthy. We are very pleased with this product
