Ron Popeil's Rotisserie
Soooooo, who has one and do you love it?
DH and I have sat through his infomercial a time or two and are getting pretty tempted to call that 1-800 # . Our sister has the George Foreman Junior model, that is similar, and likes hers... I think her model would be too small for us but on the flip side, I recently saw a generic brand for about $ 50.00 that looked to be "the next size up" from the G. Foreman Junior. I love rotisserie chicken and usually crave it when it's too cold to grill outside; as would be the case right now. For some reason... grills seem to have a tough time getting hot when it's 20 degrees F. outside. Huh, imagine that. <G> Thanks for any feedback... -- Cyndi <Remove a "b" to reply> |

I have the Showtime grill and I love it. We use it often. It cooks well and clean up is a breeze. |

These are honestly the best things ever invented for the kitchen and diet.
We have had two and they have produced some wonderful healthy eating.

The machine itself is quite good, particularly when I make and dried herb coated roast beef. A couple of things however: They all seem to make a 'moaning' moise after a while-I know several people who have had this problem. RONCO customer service sucks however. I wore a hole in their gloves and ordered a new one. They charged me twice for it and it took me 6 months to get the credit for both. I never did get the additional gloves. I simply bought another brand. I don't know how they are for purchasing the additional baskets and the warming tray. I got that at a local gourmet store. |

I have had great service from them with no problems at all. I ordered
extra skewers and ties for the chickens and got them in three days. Baskets as well..the giant ones. You should give this a try it can always be returned. We do prime rib, turkey, whole and breasts, loin of pork and it is fabulous.

That's a major price difference. Of course, the lower price QVC item doesn't have some of the "extras" that the higher priced infomercial has... that being said I got a pretty good deal through E-bay. The price was a little more than QVCs but had some extra goodies with it. Thanks for the heads up though John, I sometimes forget to check QVC and HSN's prices before making my final decision. -- Cyndi <Remove a "b" to reply> |

Pull skin away from chicken just enough to place sage leaves and lemon slices under skin. Truss the chicken and tie the other end of the butcher's twine to the pot handle for a quick retrieval of the brined chicken. Place chicken in liquid and let sit in cooler for 12 hours. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place chicken on roasting rack in oven and brush with olive oil. Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes or until juices run clear.
