Ronco Inventions ST4000 Showtime Indoor Rotisserie and BBQ

Only Basket is included!!! No Coupons or Accessories.An inexpensive introduction to the delights of rotisserie-roasted meats and poultry, this countertop device is large enough to spit-roast two chickens, a 15-pound turkey, a leg of lamb, a rack of ribs, or six kabobs. Place the spit through the wire food basket that accompanies the rotisserie and it will rotate chicken wings, salmon steaks, or other foods through the roasting cycle. Meanwhile, place the enameled-steel steaming tray atop the rotisserie, cover with its plastic lid, and the rotisserie will steam vegetables or shrimp.

At this price, you wouldn’t expect this rotisserie to be restaurant sturdy. But it’s not flimsy, either. Measuring 17 by 15 by 13-1/2 inches, it delivers 1,250 watts of cooking power inside an enameled-steel case with a tempered-glass door. Three settings of the spit permit normal rotation, no-heat rotation to keep juices distributed evenly until serving, and pause-to-sear so that meats can be browned. 12 elastic ties to bind foods, a pair of heavy synthetic gloves for removing items from the unit, and 0 in coupons for other Ronco products accompany the rotisserie. Since it stars in an infomercial, the rotisserie also comes with an excellent instructional video. –Fred Brack

Ronco Inventions ST4000 Showtime Indoor Rotisserie and BBQ

(You WILL use it!), January 20, 2001 By  Octavia (United States) – See all my reviews This review is from: Ronco Inventions ST4000 Showtime Indoor Rotisserie and BBQ (Kitchen) Great product! I have to admit, I’m addicted to kitchen appliances. I love ‘em! What separates the Ronco Rotisserie from the others is that I actually use it and use it often. I purchased mine after seeing the infomercial. To my delight and surprise, it was presented accurately. This makes roasting a breeze, clean up a snap and the results are mouth watering. For a while, I used it to only roast chicken. As a single, working mother, I’d roast two at a time, intending to use the cooked chicken for chicken salads, Cordon Bleu, curries, sandwiches, etc. throughout the week. Since then, I’ve cooked just about everything, my favorite now being roast beef. (Marinate the roast in beer overnight, then make a rub with seasoned salt and rosemary, apply liberally. Delicious!) My included flavor injector doesn’t work well, so I don’t use it. I’ve tried injecting lime juice under my chicken’s skins and the juice pours out of the injector before I have inserted it into the meat. This may be a defective injector, but I thought it worth mentioning to other consumers. Also, I have attempted to use the "steamer" located on top of the Rotisserie. The "steamer", in actuality is just a pan which is warmed solely from the heat that the unit emits. Thus, I cannot control its heat and my vegetables have come out too soft for my preference. Having mentioned heat, I must state that this unit gets HOT. PLEASE use with caution! Unlike the slogan repeated on the informercial, you really cannot "set it and forget it". You MUST monitor your Showtime Rotisserie. There is even a warning upon the window to this effect. As pleased as I was with my Rotisserie, I recommended it to my sister. We’d both used ours to cook Thanksgiving turkeys. Apparently, she had not trimmed down or tied her wings tightly (you do not have to buy extra meat ties [over priced] from Ronco or inexpensively from your meat market. I use unwaxed, unflavored dental floss with wonderful results). This, combined with the fact that the fat really does copiously drip into the pan at the base of the unit, resulted in a grease fire. The unit and the turkey were salvaged however. Finally, I share that one of our local news stations (Washington, D.C.) did an in depth investigation on infomercials. Its purpose was to report if products that the infomercials introduced were as easy, practical and effective as they claimed. Its findings were that the ONLY product that was tested and worked as introduced was the Ronco Showtime Rotisserie. If you follow directions, monitor your unit and do not become careless because of the ease of its use, you will have excellent results.

Logan “sogal” (Theodore, Alabama USA) – See all my reviews    This review is from: Ronco Inventions ST4000 Showtime Indoor Rotisserie and BBQ (Kitchen) After reading all the reviews, I decided to take the plunge. I have used my machine for chops, chicken, ham, roast, and vegetables. To make this an easy to clean appliance, you simply line the drip tray with foil, and spray the grate with non stick spray. I also add water to the drip tray and this eliminates all smoke and adds moisture to the meat. After I finish cooking, I just empty the water out, wipe off the foil lined tray and clean the grate which is very easy to do.The foil lasts through several cookings and cleans up in a snap. I have found this machine to be as easy to clean as a roaster from the conventional oven.As for the inside of the machine, I just wipe it down each time. I can completely clean the Showtime in about 5 minutes. If you like the taste of rotisserie cooked foods, this is certainly a good investment.

I had one of the little vertical Sunbeam rotisseries (about (dollar amount …)) that I’d used for dozens of chickens. Being vertical, though, makes doing other meats (e.g. hamburgers, fish steaks) impossible. I must say initially that the packaging and unit are a new hallmark for Ron Popeil and his line of flimsy products. In quality of construction it appears to match most small appliances. I discovered that rounded or cylindrical meats indeed cook well in the oven, browning beautifully. However, these didn’t seem to be superior in any way to the ones I’ve baked in a conventional oven. Just messier to clean up in this unit. Using the flat rack was more problematic. If you imagine the rack rotating in the oven, and follow the rack through its motions, you’ll see that the meat closer to the rotational axis isn’t exposed to the same level of heat as cuts on the outside of the axis. I’ve had this happen with hamburgers repeatedly, along with salmon steaks. Plus, again I saw no improvement over my broiled experiences. My biggest problem with the machine is the difficulty cleaning. Grease will tend to spatter and accumulate on the big cogged wheels that go in the machine. The metal interior is not removable in any way, and there really is no way to completely clean. Situated only an inch or so from many meats, the door needs cleaning virtually every time the machine is used; the part of the door where the writing is, is a real mess. I’m not Howard Hughes, but I can’t abide a machine that you can’t really clean. My little Sunbeam rotisserie has a metal liner all around the inside that slides out. I live near Houston, the roach capital of the world, and I try to keep all appliances and utensils clean. I ended up giving this appliance away to an out-of-town friend about a month ago, and haven’t missed it at all. . .

Hamilton Beach 35135 Meal Maker Multicooker, Stainless Steel

Housed in attractive stainless steel, this versatile cooker prepares a variety of foods and makes it easy to get dinner on the table quickly. The all-in-one appliance operates as a deep fryer, a steamer, and a slow cooker. Steaming and boiling retain foods’ moisture, while frying sears food, making it crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. When frying, the unit’s roomy basket and deep oil level combine to accommodate a 2-pound bag of frozen fries or an entire 4-1/2-pound chicken. A complete chicken can be fried in about 35 minutes, quicker than oven roasting or rotisserie, making it a perfect choice for hectic weeknight meals. For added convenience, the basket can be raised and lowered with the lid in place, avoiding messy splatter and protecting the hands. The basket contains a hook to hold it above the liquid, which allows oil or water to drain off the food. Other details include a 5-quart liquid capacity, a digital timer, adjustable temperature control, ready lights, and a breakaway cord, which helps prevent the cooker from tipping over if the cord gets snagged. The unit assembles in no time and disassembles easily, making cleanup a snap. The multi-cooker appliance measures approximately 15 by 15 by 17 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: The best fried chicken!, January 2, 2010 By  lizellis (Virginia) – See all my reviews    Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?) This review is from: Hamilton Beach 35135 Meal Maker Multicooker, Stainless Steel (Kitchen) Although this versatile appliance will steam and boil as well as deep fry, it was its frying ability that caught my interest and convinced me to buy it. And am I glad I did for last night we enjoyed some of the best fried chicken ever to come out of my kitchen. And yes, that’s saying something. While we don’t overindulge in fried foods, through the years I’ve fried my share of chicken, most of it to positive reviews. This batch was particularly moist and juicy, yet crisp on the outside, a fact which I attribute, at least in part, to the adjustable temperature gauge on the Multicooker. None of my other deep fryers had that feature. With the others, I was forced to rely on the manufacturers’ preset temperature which I suspect wasn’t really hot enough to prevent the chicken from absorbing some of the oil and becoming somewhat soggy. The Multicooker allows a range of 250° to 375 ° F. I set it at 375° as the manual suggests and the results were mouthwatering. As for capacity, it’s generous. The basket measures roughly 8″ long by 7″ wide and 3 1/2″ deep. I was able to fit 4 large chicken thighs per batch with room to spare. I’m sure I could have added two more but I preferred to err on the side of caution to avoid overcrowding. Because the chicken was boneless and skinless, each batch only took about 10 minutes and was perfectly done. I fried three batches back-to-back and had no problems with the fryer overheating. Deep frying is usually messy no matter how careful you try to be but my experience in that department was pretty positive too. The cooker is solidly built and simple to assemble. The lid fits the pot securely and the basket is easy to raise and lower with the lid in place, which greatly reduces spattering and the risk of burns. I have no doubt that I’ll use the Multicooker for boiling and steaming at some point but if all it ever did was deep fry, I’d still consider it money well spent.
