Anyone have a Ronco Showtime Rotisserie

[Slacker]

That guys voice is in my head and he says I have to buy one of these things to make him stop.

Which model do you have and would you have liked a different model better because of size or features?

How long have you had it and how often do you use it?

Is it in the way in your kitchen?

Did Rons voice stop when you caved?

I saw that thread when I searched for "Ronco Showtime Rotisserie"

I plan on taking a look at it this weekend.

We have a George Foreman rotisserie and it only gets used for chicken. Everything else dries out in it. We have had for 2 years and used it less than 10 times. It works great for chicken, its just a hassle.

Set it and forget it!

A hassle? you dont just toss it in and set the timer? convenience the main reason for getting one of these(aside from making the voice stop)

If you buy one are you going to hit the glass with a hammer?

A nearby family member purchase one approximately two years ago. They enjoy it immensely, as do their guests when they entertain (which include myself). Outstanding for pork and poultry.

One caution: never set anything not intended for the device on the top (as they caution you). They've melted various pieces of kitchenware/utensils.

I have it and it's great. But it's a pain in the ass to clean. Try considering Flavorwave I seriously want it.

Cooks Illustrated did a test and concluded all rotisseries weren't worth buying. They wrote if you had to buy one get the Ronco, it cooks the best, but it isn't easy to clean.

I have the ronco one and its great, use it all the time, x-mas, thanksgiving.. as FlyLice said, cleaning is a bitch.. but we end up using foil to wrap around certain parts to make it easier...
