Showtime Platinum Rotisserie

We had a Ronco Showtime rotisserie for years and decided it was time for an upgrade. This new model has some great new features like the element cover that keeps the grease off the burner and pops out for easy cleaning. The new timer is also a step up from the dial that we were used to, but definitely an improvement. One thing that hasn't changed is the great food that you can make. Prime rib, BBQ ribs, sausages, chicken, and more, all come out perfect. Would easily give it 10 stars if it would let me.

Even though the Spit broke on the first one, Amazon exchanged it with another one. I love this thing. It works excellent. Easy clean up. The food is awesome!! I can’t say enough good things about it. Definitely worth the buy.

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

I am a REAL PERSON!!. I had wanted to buy a rotisserie for a while, when I was young we had a Faberware that worked well. This Rotisserie is awesome. We simply put in the chicken, and even without any seasoning, we found it tasted great. The cooking time is important, and having a MEAT thermometer is critical. The Ronco Showtime Large Capacity Rotisserie is an awesome kitchen device that everyone should have.

I had the original Showtime Rotisserie that lasted over 20 years; however, the plug was getting really hot so realized it was time to replace it. I used it a few times a month over the 20 years. When I ordered the new one it was very similar to the older Showtime. I kept the older rods because they were much thicker than the new ones and they did NOT have plastic on them. I am so glad I did because after using the new one a few times the plastic ends of the rod plates broke and the chicken just fell. It is very annoying they were so damn cheap and stupid to replace metal ends with plastic because it really cheapens it and can make it useless. Overall it runs just like the original and is perfect. Could I recommend the new Showtime, I don't think so until they put back the thicker all metal rods and ends. If you are replacing your older showtime, keep the inside parts and use them instead. I can tell you from the first one, it was used for over 20 years several times a month and it lasted. I love using Mrs. Dash as a seasoning on the chicken and work it under the skin not on the skin if you like skinless. The flavor stays in the meat and the skin seals it in. I love making my own chicken at home it is so much more flavorful and healthy without tasting like a salt lick.

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.

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

Great product. Makes the best moist chicken. Don’t buy rotisseries at grocery stores, make them at home for a healthier and tastier meal. I make a rotisserie and save leftovers for chicken soup. This machine is just as good as the first Ronco I bought over 20 years ago.

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.
