Review: Had to replace my old Ronco and this is a decent replacement - My parents gave me an old Ronco rotisserie years ago. I believe it was one of the very early models when they were sold via Infomercials on late night TV. It was one of the best Ronco inventions that was ever sold on those infomercials! The plastic base finally cracked to the point where I couldn't use it anywhere. I had fixed it once, but the glass door would no longer stay on and was unfixable. This is one of those kitchen appliances that you think, "Do I really need this?" The first one was given to me so when it couldn't be used any longer I had to make a decision as to whether I should spend $100 to replace it. The answer was 'yes'! This rotisserie makes cooking a chicken so delicious, so juicy and so easy that I couldn't imagine just roasting a chicken in the oven, again. The spits are sharp and easily fit into the chicken and onto the gears which rotate the chicken. There is a rotisserie function or just a rotate function (without heat). My model has a dial to set the temperature (figure 15 min/lb for the chicken). The instructions say that the spits can hold two chickens but the one time I tried two chickens they were too big and didn't rotate properly. I also cooked a boneless beef roast that was around 5lbs and it came out incredible and medium rare. You can also rotisserie a small turkey. I had done that once and it was also amazingly juicy. The product comes with a base on which to put the spits after cooking so you can slice beef, but I have never used it. The pan and pan top (onto which the grease drips) is easy to clean if you line the pan with aluminum foil, first. When my food is finished cooking and I've taken it out of the rotisserie, I clean the rotisserie right away, as it's much easier when everything is hot. As the unit cools down a bit, I take glass cleaner to clean the inside of the glass that usually has grease spatters. The product also comes with rubber/vinyl heatproof gloves to use to remove the spits from the rotisserie after the food is done cooking. I think the original was built a bit better than this, but that's usually the case as years go on, companies design products to be made less expensively. Even with this being slightly less impressive than the original model, I will continue to use on a regular basis. If you like rotisserie chicken from Costco, imagine having the chicken come out JUST as juicy at home with your own concoction of rub ingredients!!
Review: Absolutely Incredible — Cooked a 14 lb Turkey Perfectly - I am beyond impressed with this rotisserie oven. I’ve used it for both a whole chicken and a 14 lb turkey, and both came out fully cooked, juicy, and absolutely delicious. The results are honestly better than anything I’ve made in a conventional oven. The size is generous and very practical — I love that it handled a 14 lb turkey with no problem whatsoever. For a countertop appliance, the capacity is remarkable. It fits more than you’d expect and delivers every single time. The controls are refreshingly simple and straightforward. No confusing settings or complicated instructions — just easy, intuitive operation that anyone can figure out right away. Set it, let it rotate, and come back to perfectly cooked, beautifully browned meat every time. Cleanup is also a breeze, and the multi-purpose basket opens up even more cooking possibilities beyond rotisserie. This oven truly does it all. If you’re on the fence about investing in one, don’t hesitate — it is worth every single penny and has completely changed the way I cook.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long does it take to roast a chicken?**
A: In my experience, let your meat ( in this case chicken) sit out on a plate covered loosely with foil, for 45 minutes to one hour! No longer! Then place it in the rotisserie for 15 minutes per pound! If, when you look at it it looks light color add 15-20 minutes ! ALWAYS USE MEAT THERMOMETER! Chicken has to be 165* F also rest it on clean plate when done for 15-20 minutes and that will raise temp also 5-10 *F ! It will be perfect if you do these steps!! Good luck

**Q: Does this make French fries?**
A: NO...this is just a rotisserie ..Just does eat..

**Q: is this an air fryer?**
A: No it is not an air fryer just a rotisserie very simple to use food comes out great

**Q: What series number is this? Is it the 4000?**
A: Not sure , it’s a large capacity showtime .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another fine RONCO product
*by M***N on April 16, 2023*

Since I once had one of the original RONCO machines that I bought after viewing on the TV Mr. Popeil's infomercial and that original machine lasted me for a good 20 + years, I did buy another infomercial airfryer product from another company and after trying it out, I was not satisfied with it and so, I went back onto the Amazon website after doing a search via my browser after discovering that Amazon had for sale RONCO products. I ordered both this model (nothing lasts forever, right?) as well as the digital version. The only improvement I would like to see in this machine type of for the cogged gear drive is for it to be a bit longer so that the spit wheel teeth engage the gear teeth is the middle of the gear vs. the actual position of the wheel teeth-to-the-cogged gear that puts the wheel teeth plate right up against the small gear flange attached. My original RONCO machine positioned the wheel teeth to the cogged gear in the middle which to me seems to be a better choice overall since the weight of the wheel is in the middle of the gear and not at the very end, which from my perspective, places more mechanical strain on the driving shaft inside of the cogged gear that in turn causes more mechanical strain on the motor itself. Since after placing the chicken mounted to the spit assembly into the unit, I did not realize until after a few minutes that the wheel teeth now must now have to sit on the gear drive right up against the small flange vs. how the old style wheel teeth sat on the driving gear which was in the middle of the gear. Other from this explanation of my perspective unit improvement, the new machine has a much slower spin vs. the original unit rotation. But despite this difference, the chicken was thoroughly cooked. This unit is a bit wider than the original unit and it has a second spit assembly position inside the machine that is for use when one uses the basket as the included manual explains the reason for this added position. I like the fact that the heat shield is removable vs. the original that had the shield fixed in place and could not be removed. The drip pan is wider and I like the silicone mini-strap that hold the glass door closed when one is moving the unit. But my dishwasher is unable to accept it due to how large it is. If you decide to buy one of these units, you will not be disappointed!
