🍗 Rotisserie 🍗

Mz iMac — Thu, 12 Sep 2019 22:01:39 GMT

I have a counter-top rotisserie convection oven. I have never used the "rotisserie" option until this morning.

I did not have a roaster so I tried it w/2 cornish hens.

My apt smelled so good as well as the hallway of my apt building as the chicken was rotissering.

The cornish hens came out beautifully. But WHAT A MESS inside the oven.

Took me 45 minutes to clean the inside of my oven from all the grease splatter. Thank goodness for simple green & a dishwasher. Never again will use the rotisserie. Matter of fact, I wrapped up the spits or whatever those prongs are called & threw them inside my big oven which I use as a storage bin for cooking items I rarely or don't use.

Can you tell I'm ?

@Mz iMac I have the Wolfgang Puck convection oven and it has a rotisserie feature that I have never used. I always thought about the clean up after using it and will stick to the old fashioned outside grill. At least your hens were cooked and smelled good...Enjoy a good meal!

The pre-cooked chickens at Sams and Costco are so cheap (and many delis and grocery stores too) that it's not worth cooking them now. Unless you want it really fresh and plan on eating the skin. THen home cooked is better.

Your smiley face is cute but he ain't smiling - and neither are you. That's why I got disgusted with the air fryer - - 8 mins to cook - 20 to clean. Finally said - who needs this? Kicked it out of the kitchen.

I have the Ronco Showtime Rotisserie

The inside is non stick, the bottom trays are non stick.

I cook more than chicken in mine, I love it.

Wonder if you could spray the inside with a non stick?

@software We enjoy ours too! We use it 2-3 times a month...usually chicken or roasts...YUM! And love that it's easy to clean

@Mz iMac: Your emojis gave me a good laugh! I'm just glad that (at least) the cornish hens were good.

I'll bet the fat melted off. How lovely the meal was delicious and healthy! Can you put aluminum foil turned up at the sides in the bottom of the oven?

I have 2 old Ronco Rotisserie 's that I bought from QVC 15+ yrs ago. Yes, they still work . I marinade all my chickens in various recipes . My husband then cooks the birds in the rotisserie to perfection with crispy skin. Thank you QVC for a product that has lasted me so many years .

@ECBG I had a grease pan under the hens which caught the grease. I lined the pan w/aluminum foil-heavy duty.

The burnt/rotisserie grease splatter was on the top/roof, sides including the light & the glass door. DRIPPING grease as well as burnt/rotisserie grease. Only the bottom was dry because of the pan I had under the hens. If I had done a 5lb roaster, the whole interior would have been caked in black grease.

First time I had to "scrub" grease to remove from the interior. Really messy.

Normal baking clean up - wipe & done, easy peasy.

Rotisserie clean up - scrub, scrub, scrub. I had to put the scrubber in the DW. YUK!!!!!

I'm sticking w/pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from Shoprite & Bobby Chez & going back to just baking my cornish hens. However, I will miss that rotisserie aroma which I can still smell throughout my apt even now this evening.

@Mz iMac Wow! Was that in the reviews of the oven? Horrible!

@Mz iMac That's totally unacceptable. I hate anyone had to put up with a piece of equipment that obviously has a design problem. So sorry.

My husband first trims off extra fat he sees on the bird then he uses aluminum foil to line the bottom grease pan and abt halfway through he takes a knife and puts a hole where the leg & thigh separate to release extra grease which drips down into the pan .

My husband does all the prep work of tying the bird with string, I just make the marinade . I have a couple of different recipes using different spice combinations. My husband does all the cleanup after cooking our rotisserie bird . I usually do all the cooking . this is my Husband's contribution to cooking along with grilling .

I am a lucky woman !

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one not pleased with the air fryer! What a mess especially with food that needs to be turned! Probably will be going to the thrift shop on my next trip!! Too much clean up for me.

We also have a Ronco Rotisserie. It's the compact design that takes up less space. IMO it's easier to clean since you can get to it easier.

It makes the best chicken & prime rib.

@Nightowlz

We have the same model as yours (our 2nd Ronco) and are happy with it.

I keep seeing these new ovens/appliances that advertise being able to do the work of 6 or 8. Evidently some can't do all appliances as well as stand alone...

Sorry for your troubles @Mz iMac

@denisemb

We really like it. I only paid about $80 for it.

When I use it I set it on a smaller table in the dining room next to a window so I can open it if I need to. It's out of the kitchen out of my way.

I've owned the Ronco and agree it is easy to clean but I've dropped the heavy gear part and caused floor damage more than once.

My current best rotisserie is the extra purchase attachment for the Philips indoor smokeless grill. Not inexpensive but you end up with muliptle use appliance and all easy to clean.

That is why I don't want an air fryer with rotisserie and all those other parts to store. I love my "round pans" air fryer and it is so easy to clean. Sometimes now I line the bottom pan with foil and that makes it even easier. Years ago we got a Farbarware rotisserie for a wedding gift. It was kind of large to clean, but no sides, etc. Got quite a bit of use from it, but since now I only cook for myself I donated it. Different meats really came out tasty.
