lol just used a ronco rotisserie for the first time(grandparents house cleanout) juicy AF chicken anybody else rotisserie before?
Steak, chicken, pork, whole turkey, any kind of fish, not even kidding. There are other times you prefer a different preparation according to the dish, but this thing never messes up.
had to use the spin cycle with no heat for 15 min. before cutting... olive oil on metal on metal shut its whining ass up lol... a bit cattywampus on the sprocket gear and teeth every few revolutions(could have been slightly off center)
Most of the time, I'm using the basket. Can't balance its thickness but I do aim for the basket's center. Using the skewers, yeah, do your best to get it balanced. There are accessories that come in handy if all you have is the oven/basket.
The genius in that device is how they sold the lack of insulation in the top. I picture it in my head like this.... You freckled engineer: Mr Popeil the showtime is too hot on top. We need to cool and insulate it better. Ron Popeil: Nah kid that'd cost too much. Hmmmmm..... we'll put a crappy tray on the top and tell people they can heat up their side dishes on it. Now its even better up the price 5 bucks.
Like this one? $1000 bucs? My new Samsung gas stove w/ range and griddle was less than that- works falwlessly btw
Clean? What's that? It has a 2-piece broiler pan. I'm not religious about emptying or cleaning it...I think I've scrubbed it less than a handful of times. Switching between different meats can be a good time to clean it. I cook beef mostly, and maybe a turkey once a year. Depending on the type of fish I cook, I may or may not clean it afterwards. As to the beef, I'm not into fat, so no ribeyes or hamburger...I'm sure I would clean it every time if I cooked those cuts. Sounds gross, I know, but if I cleaned it every time, it would be no worse than tossin' it in the dishwasher. Nothing else has gotten to the point of "needing" a cleaning but I have removed the reflector behind the coils once to make it shiny again. You could line the pan and reflector with foil if you wanted, but foil on the reflector would likely discolor (burn) with every use. The glass door isn't a chore if you want to clean it. The interior edges get some smoke debris baked on but it's nothing like the greasy ugliness you find on a typical overhead stove exhaust. For the most part, I just shove the basket and rotisserie skewer in the washer with the dishes. The door and pan get scrubbed/washed when they look like they need it. Kinda like when you ruin your cast iron skillets cuz you think you needed to clean 'em.
If you have a Costco you can buy the whole chicken already cooked for 5$ and not much clean up at all
