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, or a rack of ribs. 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.

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 spit settings permit normal rotation, no-heat rotation to keep juices distributed evenly until serving, and pause-to-sear so meats can be browned. $100 in coupons for other Ronco products accompany the rotisserie. Because it stars in an infomercial, the rotisserie also comes with an excellent instructional video
