You love the flavor and health benefits of rotisserie cooking, yet your counter space is very limited. What to do? The Baby George rotisserie holds 4 steaks, or a 5 lb. chicken and creates the same moist, self-basted results as the larger version, yet takes up less room. Unhealthy fats drip to the tray below, while moisture continually bastes the food as it turns making it succulent and tender.
Amazon.com Review
Big enough to hold a 5-pound chicken, two Cornish hens, four kebabs, or four beef or fish steaks, this "baby" version of the George Foreman rotisserie brings the advantages of rotational cooking into the home, yet measures just 17 inches wide, 11-1/2 inches high, and 12 inches deep. The spit is just one of three cooking methods provided by the rotisserie. There's a flat basket measuring 6-1/2 inches square and 2-1/2 inches deep that hold foods like fish, steaks, and vegetables flat for grilling as they rotate, and four 8-inch skewers that fit into the rotisserie for kebabs and pork ribs. Other features include a lift-up cover with a window, a three-hour timer, and a pull-out drip tray. The rotisserie has a metal and plastic exterior and a metal interior for easy cleaning, and it secures firmly to a countertop with suction-cup feet. It carries a one-year warranty against defects and comes with a cooking-time chart and recipes. --Fred Brack

Summary: Happy for 3 years but... 2010-08-16
Comment: I've had my Baby Ronco for over 3 years and I've been very, very happy with it. It cooks a 5lb chicken beautifully and I love being able to turn it on and forget about it. My only issue is the knob to turn it on is awkwardly placed and just recently broke off. Now I have a rotisserie but no way to turn it on. It's also often a guess at how long you're setting it for since the control is very wobbly(?). Like an egg timer, you need to go past the time you want to set it and then ease it back to make sure you're getting the timing correct. Alas, with the knob broke, I'm not sure what to do with it. I bought mine at an outrageous sale at Sears and I'm not sure I want to pay what they want for a new one to replace it.

Summary: 8 years and going !!!! 2010-07-23
Comment: I have had my George Foreman Rotisserie for 8 years and use it at least 10 a month and I love this thing. I have been thinking about getting the larger model but don't feel like paying $400.00+ dollars.
I have read many reviews from people saying that these things don't work, or I can't figure how to work it, or it's hard to use, to those people all I can say is SERIOUSLY !!!, maybe the best thing for them is to STAY AWAY FROM THE KITCHEN. As with any cooking, temperature and time is everything for perfect taste and texture. It took me about 2 weeks of trial and error, and anyone that doesn't have patients, remember this it's not a conventional oven, keep trying and you will master this great appliance.
One of the great features is that it is so easy to clean, the class door, drip pan, and all other components fit in the dishwasher, but here is some advise, spray cooking oil(PAM) on the basket, cooking rods, and drip pan this will make clean up a breeze.
George Foreman, if you read this please bring the price down of the large model, you will sell a lot more, and if its not made in the USA, please shift the manufacturing of all your products to the US, we as Americans will all benefit from this.

Summary: Amazing rotiserrie!! 2009-05-25
Comment: This was given to me as a birthday gift from my mom last week and I honestly don't know how I ever lived without one of these! The day I got it, I cooked a 4 pound chicken. It took 1 1/2 hours and no lie, it was the BEST chicken I'd ever eaten. It was perfect. The outside was crispy and delicious and the meat couldn't have been more tender. Just tonight I tried my hand at baked potatoes after reading in the instruction manual that you can make them in the unit. 4 potatoes at 1 1:2, it's as though they were cooked on the barbecue wrapped in tin foil. Absolutely amazing. The unit itself is relatively easy to clean. I found that the spit required some soaking before the food remnants loosened from it but that's no big deal. For someone who has been on a diet for the past 2 months, this is an amazing product. I also have the 'Lean Mean Grilling Machine' which I use frequently. Combined with the rotisserie, this really is a 1-2 punch knockout!

Summary: not complete 2009-04-30
Comment: I had a Baby George for a number of years and really liked it, but I lost mine in the flood this past summer so wanted a replacement. The rotisserie arrived new, as advertised, but it was advertised to come in the original packaging, which it did not, and it was incomplete. The instruction book was missing, as were the four skewers. The rotisserie works fine, and fortunately I had the instruction book from my previous Baby George. And that's what clued me in to the fact that there should have been four skewers with the rotisserie.

Summary: Rotisserie is wonderful 2008-10-24
Comment: I love this product. It makes the best chicken and is easy to use and to clean up. I have gotten one for all my kids. It's a healthy way to cook chicken. I use it for beef roast too and get a really good result, keeps them moist inside.
