I never would have thought to purchase this item,The "Ronco Showtime Rotisserie". My Dad who like me, loved to cook, owned it and I of course inherited it after he passed away. I had this item in storage since 2002 and never thought about using it until last year, I have to tell you, I am happy that I did. I have made roasts, prime rib, baked chicken, roasted veggies in it and they come out perfect!! The meats are so juicy and tender. What I also love about it, if you are not roasting your vegetables you can steam them on top of the rotisserie. I was just watching the video on the link below and would really like to try grilled shrimp and ribs!The rotisserie comes with a great book with easy to follow cooking instructions. Divided into types of meats, veggies, fish, etc with cooking times from rare (bloody just how I like it) to well done. It has a timer so it's very easy to use and cook with. Just set the time for the amount of time that the instruction manual tells you.
I am cooking a small roast today 2lbs which states medium rare is 19 min/pound. So in 40 minutes you have a great tasty meal. I am using the steamer basket for spinach and zucchini today vs. roasting the veggies. Place a small amount of water in the pans and add whatever veggies you like.
Check out the websites, it is worth the investment!
Enjoy!
I always saw those commercials and wondered about how it worked in real life. It looks great and so easy (right up my alley)! What about cleaning it after?
ReplyDeleteCleaning is a bit of a pain in the arse I have to admit! But other than that it's great :)
