Showtime Platinum Rotisserie

This is a really good rotisserie I had one years ago decided I wanted another one and it's the same I like it.

I just un boxed my rotisserie oven today and used it for the 1st time. The chicken is very juicy and tender. And clean up was so easy . Update 3/20/25 i cooked a 7lb turkey breast and it was amazing. Only disappointment I have is the time printed on the side of machine is coming off. So I don’t know how many minutes to stuff no without looking it up online

We had this same product for 20 years and loved it. So we got a new one, took it out of the box and threw the box away. The new one is defective. One of the tongs broke off. We have had it for less than a month. I contacted Ronco on the Sunday before Christmas, and Monday morning I was called by a representative from the company to address the problem. They direct shipped me a new part to replace the defective one by express mail and kept following up to make sure I received it. Best service ever. Thank you.

So after having my original rotisserie for about 10 years, the heating element final gave out. We usually do a chicken once a week and it always came out great: My biggest gripes were: 1) OLD: No heat control (always used 1.5 - 1.25 hrs for a medium sized chicken. about 90% success rate with the method 1) NEW:.. So there are now two distances from the heating element that you can use which is great...at first glance.. However they cut the rotational speed to a much slower speed so it seems to have negated the ability to have two different cooking temperatures. You have to watch it much more as the slow rotation as it seems to cook hotter. BE CAREFUL WITH THE ROTISSERIE ON THE CLOSEST. It is very hot. 2) OLD: The rotisserie assembly was teflon-like coating that continued to peel off over time. I kept threatening to replaces the straight pieces of the assembly with stainless steel so It wouldn't be such a pain. 2) NEW: Not only did they make the rotisserie assembly stainless steel which makes cleaning a breeze but added a removal stainless steel plate that is flat and curved and slips behind the heating element. Much easier to clean...however, I believe this is what has raised the cooking temperature. The heat not reflects off the shiny stainless steel deflector plate toward the food being cooked... 3) OLD: getting the food lined up on the grill assembly (centered as good as possible) was a pain in the rear end. The rods that go through the chicken or meat are flexible and when they come out the other end they can be "off" enough that they wont go into the other end of the assembly and you have to start over. 3)NEW; The stainless steel rods are much stiffer and wont flex as much. In addition they provide a plastic stand that the assembly can be set in pointing the rods "up" and enabling you to align the meat with both hands. Works much better. 4)OLD: The timer was mechanical...fool proof. If you wanted to pause you just turned the dial off, if you wanted to change the time left you just turned the dial...etc... Kind of like apples mouse with a single button. 4)NEW: DIGITAL display...push buttons to pause, stop, start.... Same functions as "OLD" but digital looks cool! No value add here friends! I like the new one as much as the old one...a bit better because of the stainless steel. It has some flaws but they are workable if you pay attention to what you are doing. I just did a small "beef sirloin roast" with it and it came out very good... Salted it and stuffed it with cloves of garlic..left overnight then rinsed it off the next day and cooked it. again...very tender and tasty!

We had the original Ronco passed down from and neighbor and it lasted for decades before finally giving up the ghost. Our replacement never worked as well and deteriorated over a short number of years- poor manufacturing. We ordered our third because it looked like new manufacturing and it has been wonderful. A slight problem with one of the baskets was handled super fast by customer service and we are completely delighted with our "Easy Bake" . It works great, cooks faster than the older ones, and super easy to clean. Thank you. We love it.

I had use it long time ago when they came in the market. Had several, now I buy it again my favorite. You can roast lamb, pork, chicken, meat anything and you will have the same result simple delicious. Well cook in less time. My family love it!

Probably 10-15 years ago we got a Ronco (yeah, As Seen On TV) Showtime Rotisserie. For all those years that thing was bullet proof and magical on anything – chicken, beef roast, pork roast, until it gave up. Ordered new one. top of the line , “Platinum” model. It showed up 2 weeks or so ago. A tiny plastic corner broken. Not much but it’s *vital* to hold the glass door in. eh, a few tries and got it epoxied, held the door ok. Tonight, first try, roa$t pork loin. After about 15 minutes, it’s smoking. Not the machine, but the grease drippings and heating element. After 25 minutes the house is full of smoke, all doors open, all fans on, wife struggling with breathing problems. Shut it down, roast moved into the oven. Angry, ready to toss it in the garbage and take my loss. Found Amazon chat, bypassed the bot to get a human, Pratik. I explain my problem, ready for a return denial. Curiously, Pratik is sympathetic, and asks if I want a refund or exchange. I ask if he understands, it’s been used? Yep. Would I like a gift card or credit to the original purchase method. I choose credit and ask “You understand I have NO original packaging, I have the original accessories, and it’s been *used*?” Yep. Would you like to send it, or would you like a mailing label? I chose mailing label. Pratik obliges. I ask him “so, you’re going to email me a mailing label?” Response: "already done sir." He ends the chat with “Best health to you and your family and happy holidays.” Minimum rating for the purchase item, maximum to customer service. Save the effort and skip the purchase. Updated junk, IMHO. -jeffb

The rotisserie oven works well and convenient of not having to watch over the food. Easy cleanup although I put small piece of parchment paper in between the dripping tray for easier cleanup. foods turned out to be moist, tender not overcooked nor dry. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to eat healthier without the use of oils and greases. Convenience countertop space.

This is the second Ronco Rotisserie we've owned. The first one lasted over 20 years. You just get the best results when you cook chicken's and roasts of any kind. Nothing compares! Don't hesitate to buy one, you won't be disappointed!

This is the second rotisserie we've own and this one is really great. It cooks chicken, beef, pork and other foods perfectly. It is easy to use and we like that it is lit when in operation. Recommend this unit.

Works awesome saves time and energy!!

I use this rotisserie oven regularly and love it. The only drawback is the finish is peeling off the drip pan.

Purchased this for landlord. They haven't reported any issues.
