Great Item-But You're On Your Own After The Sale Jan 25, 2009
By jednick I have this same model. The rotisserie works well and if you follow the directions carefully, the end results will be delicious. Just understand that once purchased, you can't depend on any customer service at Ronco. They don't answer emails. They don't answer the phone. If you order an accessory, it may never arrive and you won't be able to find out why. If you want an extended warranty, buy the one offered through Amazon because I can't imagine shipping anything to Ronco; it will end up in a black hole.

Love at first bite! May 08, 2009
By Penny Pinching Polly
"Check out my website for the best deals & contests!"
I absolutely love my Ronco Showtime Rotisserie Oven. Now that I have it, I wonder how I ever cooked without it.
I am very picky about my kitchen appliances being easy to use and easy to clean! There is no point in having a delicious dinner if I have to spend hours cleaning up a mess afterward. I must say, this oven could not be any easier to clean. The pieces & accessories are all dishwasher safe.
The first night I used it, I cooked a chicken that was just under 5 pounds. It took exactly as long as the instructions stated it would for the internal temperature of the chicken to reach 180 degrees. The thermometer is included. The elastic food ties are ingenious! No more strings cutting into your fingers as you fight to get them around the chicken.
I could not believe how good this chicken was. I didn't do anything special to it. I only used salt, pepper, and garlic powder on the outside of the chicken. Then, I put it on the rotisserie, set the timer, and watched it spin around in amazement. Every single bite of this chicken was juicy! My daughter and I ate it for three days, and even when it was warmed in the microwave, it was still tender and juicy.
I highly recommend this item to anyone who cooks several meals a week. It does a lot more than just rotisserie chicken! The kabobs we made in it were just as delicious as the chicken.

Real food Aug 04, 2008
By Susan H. Kangas Have the Standard Showtime, and have used it for ten years. I have cooked the best turkey I ever made on it, and do chicken twice a week. First time I tasted an organic chicken from it, it was like food I ate when I was a kid. Could not get enough of it! Now I'm faced with having to replace it - get the same, or the compact? Kids have moved out. I feel lost without it. Oven roasted just is not the same. Have also used the basket for beef, and salmon. I have not used the top vege warmer except to put plants on when not cooking. Used the glove until it got a hole, and now use a silicone hot pad to take off the spit, with a fork's help. I have not had to salt the chicken or use any spices - have wondered if chicken gets salt in their food, or injected. I used to carefully handwash each part, but now just stick them in the diswasher. I looked at a toaster oven with a rotisserie, but they only do small chickens, not the 5 pounders. It is so good to get some real food!

No quality control; even my replacement was broken. Jan 07, 2010
By jswell
"James"
Ronco used to make this product (smaller), and I had one that did Roast Chicken better than anything so simply. That was years ago.
This model came defective when I opened the box. They are not useable because one end of the spit wheel had a detached hub. The rivet and the covering of the rivet were rattling in the box. I exchanged it as defective, and the SAME DEFECT was present. Frankly, it's a piece of junk, or did I just get TWO lemons in a row???????

Still Using Mine after 5 years Mar 12, 2009
By M Bruno This is an awesome product. Very easy to use and pretty much idiot proof. Everything I cook in this comes out great; chicken pieces, whole chickens, beef roast, pork tenderloin....you name it. I have been using mine for years now and I still think its great!
They reason I gave it a 3* is because the "Non-Stick" surfaces are NOT non-stick. Food sticks to EVERYTHING!!!! The lobster/vegetable rack is the worst. A nightmare to clean. The stuff used to coat the metal is more like a non-stick looking paint. It lasted about 4 months and it was gone. I have to use SOS Pads and a wire brush to clean my racks now. Even before the very sticky non-stick paint came off I had to soak the stuff for hours and it barely helped. Pam cooking spray didn't help either.
It works like a dream.....it cleans like a bad dream.
