If you read this blog, then you’re pretty much a foodie, and that means you probably like kitchen gadgets like I do. Of all the gadgets I have (and I have many!), one of the best I ever bought was the rotisserie oven by Ronco. You’ve seen the commercials over the years, I’m sure, but there is no better way to cook a chicken or turkey than this oven. I’ve tried smoking turkey, roasting turkey…I’ve never fried turkey but I did taste one at a food show and it was very good, but I wouldn’t want to deal with all that oil and the fire hazard for once a year. But we use the rotisserie oven about 10-12 times a year for chicken and a couple turkeys. You know the catch phrase, set it and forget it? So true. We cooked a 12-pound turkey on Thanksgiving in a little more than two hours and it always comes out beautifully. Moist inside and a crispy skin on the outside. No basting (it bastes itself while on the spit), no fuss, no mess. If you’ve been on the fence about buying one for yourself or someone for else for Christmas, I can’t recommend it more. The commercials show all kinds of other food being cooked in it, and we’ve tried other things with various degrees of success, but for a whole chicken or turkey, this oven is perfect. I’ve had mine for more than a decade and it just keeps on going like the Energizer bunny! Happy holidays!
