Anyone have experience with a home rotisserie cooker? I'm wondering if the end product is worth buying the oven for.
I'm considering this one: http://m.target.com/p/ronco-black-4000-series-rotisserie/-/A-14546755

@Mrs. Polish: yes!!!!!! We loved ours!!! Sadly it died a sad death in our flooded basement.
DH prowled Marshalls for months and got one for $35!!! It's the same brand and pretty freaking awesome. It's not just for chicken! We've done pork and beef tip roast as well.

@locavore_mama: I KNEW I should have just gone straight to you for this question!! Yours is Ronco?? Like I should definitely get this if I'll have a whole chicken to fix a couple times a month?

@Mrs. Polish: LOL!! DH has a good friend who is a cooker like us and a hunter. He swears by this brand so DH was bugging me to buy one for ages. When he saw one at Marshalls he literally stalked it for months until it went down to $35.
Anyway, I have no comparison but we are very happy with ours. I don't have the unit anymore but I think it's the the exact same one. It really does a beautiful job with a Rotisserie chicken. Especially because you will have your own chickens to cook I think it's a good investment!
We love doing either a rub or injecting the chicken. Either way they always come out with crispy skin but moist and juicy. The cooking times on the Rotisserie are dead on.Try looking on eBay? I'm not sure if I would drop a $100 on it though!
I would definitely buy the same one again!

@locavore_mama: i have a gift card for target which is why I was going there. Thank you sooooo much for this info. I feel much more comfortable getting one now

@Mrs. Polish: Omg I can't even imagine how amazing your Rotisserie chicken is going to be. *drool* you will have to IG that first butchered Rotisserie chicken.
-
@locavore_mama: my mouth is watering just thinking about it. We (dh) butchered two of our roosters and I cooked them, but they weren't the greatest because they were scrawny egg birds. We decided to try these meat birds and I think its going to be great.
I'm sure both of us will post pictures
-
@Mrs. Polish: yum!!! Maybe you would get more out of making soup out of future roosters then picking whatever meat you can out of them?
-
@locavore_mama: yes, absolutely. It was a first time lesson learned.

We used to have the showtime rotisserie, dh bought it before we got together. It made amazingly delicious chicken!!!
