I cooked a 5 lb. prime rib roast and it came out perfect. Very juicy and tasty. I also cooked 1 lb. of italian sausage links that came out delicious. This beats the oven and stove by a mile. It is also a healthier way to cook since most of the fat from the meat drips down to the pan. Of course, you can use the drippings for gravy! The only drawback is that it takes just as long to cook using this as it does with an oven or stovetop. I am not convinced that it is faster. Buy one now!!

My wife got this for me as a Fathers Day gift.  I have cooked chicken legs, chicken thighs (my favorite).  steak, hamburgers.  Every thing is great.  Living near Phoenix I have it set up in the garage and I have the best smelling garage in the neighborhood.

I have found that instead of the 15 minutes per pound they recommend I prefer about 20 minutes per pound plus the 2 minute warm up time.

Still experimenting but no dissapointments, every thing tastes great.

The Showtime Digital Rotisserie is a wonderful and easy cooking machine ever!  I have purchased 4 of these within the last 5 years.  I own two and gifted two of the same to my sister and grandmother of whom use it often too.  I have cooked, chicken, ribs, turkeys and many other items within short prep time.  Friends and family are always amazed when they come over for dinner and see how tasty the outcome is.  My father kept staring at the machine for almost an hour while I was cooking a chicken.  He was so impressed that he still talks about his dinner visit and how great the meal was. ...

I've made everything from chicken wings to a Ham for Easter Dinner. Food is absolutely great. I hope to get many more years of use with it. Really easy to clean up.

This product makes some of the best turkey and chicken that we have ever made! It is literally set it and forget it! Cleanup is simple, most of the parts are dishwasher safe, and it is not much larger than most 4 slice toasters.

There are a few tricks to getting the most out of this product, and there are limits to what it can handle. We have made up to a 12 pound turkey, or two chickens and they came out great! Juicy and tender, with slightly crispy skin everyone loved them. Hot dogs, or brats come out great as do shish kebabs! Steak, not so much... it wasn't bad, but if you like that nice sear...

Great Product

I received this rotisserie 5 years ago as a Christmas gift, and it has turned out to be such a great investment, that it is very much worth it to buy another one, now that after a thousand uses, a connector wire inside somethings has to be reconnected. Once I tried my first rotisserie turkey, I knew I would never roast again! I love the way that it consistently produces tender, juicy, fall off the bone, melt in your mouth, crispy, delicious chicken, turkey, steaks, pork chops, etc. and with little effort. Great value too.

Second one - Still loving it!

We bought this as a replacement for a Showtime Rotisserie we bought over six years ago. The only reason we had to replace it was because I dropped the glass door and it broke. :) We love everything about this product and use it regularly to cook everything from hot dogs to standing rib roast. Everything comes out juicy and perfectly cooked.

Surprisingly good quality

I am usually very cautious about "as seen on TV" items but this was the only rotisserie of its kind I could find. It was a Christmas present for my husband. He was very pleased with the way it was built. The chicken he cooked in it was delicious...juicy, tender, golden brown. I won't be buying grocery store cooked rotisserie chickens from now on!

Showtime Rocks

We have had our Showtime Rotisserie for 9 years I believe. As with anything you buy these days you are always skeptical about the advertisers claims. I can honestly say, we have never been disappointed with our Showtime. The set it and forget it motto is to be lived by and trusted. We liked ours so much we bought 3 more for family. Can't say how much they use theirs, but the food that comes out of our Showtime is very, very good. In fact, we just finished eating our Christmas prime rib 30 minutes ago and it was one of the best I have ever had and I am a prime rib fanatic! Note: Make sure the timer... read full review »

Great Deal

Ordered this at the right time, good price and free shipping. Have used it a number of times with various foods to get use to it. All foods come out nice and moist with all the fat dripped out of it. The SEAR cycle is great especially for fish and chicken (the skin on the chicken comes out great especially with a Rub on it.) Looking forward to trying Kabobs next. It is easy to set up and cleaning takes no time at all. I like the elastic ties that come with it too, not all the fuss of using string. nLooking forward to many years of use especially in the winter when the grill isn't always accessible.... read full review »

excellent

For some time now i was researching in trying to puchase a rotisserie cooker. I have read many reviews on the ronco showtime, and saw that there were many people who did not like the product or found it to be no good. Well i decided to purchase the product and found it to be so good. It cooks a chicken so well and fantastic. My advice to anyone is to read all the instructions! that way there is no problem. I would definitely would recommend this product it is a great rotisserie oven, my only regret is that I should have bought it sooner.

Awesome Product

I've had this rotisserie over a year now and absolutely love it. I cook not only chicken and turkey but steaks, burgers and roasts as well. All my meats are so tasty and juicy and I find it very easy to clean. It may not "look" clean, but it is and it works awesome!!

Bought as a gift

I bought this for my Mom for christmas. She had had one for 5+ years and it started sounding like a wounded moose when it was turning. She absolutely loves it and everything tastes fantastic that she makes out of it.
