Ronco ST2000WHGENZ Showtime Petite Rotisserie Oven

I've thought about getting a rotisserie oven for some time and, when I saw this one on sale for $25.00 I thought I'd give it a try. Not worth the money.

1. The manual had the photos and directions backwards (mixed up left and right) which made it difficult to figure out how to assemble the pieces, It also used the term 'round end' when there is no round end. I eventually figured it out.

2. The end of the bar that is supposed to fit in the motor shaft doesn't, causing slippage.

3. The drip pan is too small and allowed the fat to get on the base of the unit. Very difficult to clean up as the base is not non-stick.

4. The food cooks very slowly. Forget about anything other than well done if you want any browning at all.

5. The way the basket fits the bar, only the side farthest from the bar gets close enough to the heating element to brown. And very slowly at that.

I bought one of these last week on clearance at the local pharmacy. I've had the full-sized model for several years, so I know what to expect from this type of electrical appliance.

1/2" thick strips of steak marinated in teriyaki sauce in 8 min.
1/2" thick scallops in 10 min.
1/2" chunks of red skin potatoes, onion slices, and red peppers wedges in 30 min.

All items were sprinkled with salt and pepper and coated with a bit of cooking spray. The potatoes and onions were nicely browned. The scallops were just starting to brown, but I didn't want to overcook them. The steak was no different than if I'd put it under the broiler element in my toaster...Read more

i just receive it .and when i saw it i was so small i did beleive it .it way to small .i was sure it was a joke.now the demention they say it not it at all .
mine is 13 1/4 wide .9 1/4 front to back .and 8 3/4 hight .
on the product demention it say [15.4x 9.1x10.2 ]
so that mean it is 15 1/4 wide .9 .1 .and 10 .2 from front to back .
so as you cant see it is not right .
beleive me i am a carpenter by trade i know how to take mesurment.so it is false advertising to me .
the basket is so amall if you fit a medium chicken breast in there you are very lucky .for cooking any other meat forget it .
i did own one for over 15 years the stander one the [4000 ] rotisserie really good .you fit a 5 pounds chicken in with no problem .big rib .name it it fit there .so if want to buy a ronco rotisserie keep away from that small petitte rotisserie .it a waste of money .
