Avocado broiling

[dalangdon]

I thought this was an interesting little number - especially in light of our recent Farberware open hearth discussion - so I picked it up for further inspection.

Who doesn't need a little avocado in their kitchen? I used to really hate that color, but it's grown on me in recent years.

close up on the label

love that late 60's or early 70's font, although I wonder how "smokeless" it really is....

And the motor....

And such a screechy motor it is! Maybe that's why I've never seen one of these before....

That is really neat Dan. I don't believe I have ever seen this unit before. Have to agree with you somehow avocado has grown on me as well.

My Farberware "smokeless" really isn't! But a brined pork loin cooks perfectly on it. I just put it under stove hood and let it grind away. Does a mean chicken too.

looks like fun

That looks like it will be a lot fun to use. And powerful...what's the wattage?

p.s. Love your 'copper' storage containers! (photo of the graphics would be nice!)

It's very nice but I'm sure it would work better if it were turquoise.

I wonder if the enameled finish on this one would be easier to maintain and keep new looking than the stainless of the Faberware.

I also like the design of the heating element. It looks like the heat delivery would be very even from it. But it could be a bit difficult to find a replacement if ever necessary as these rotisseries seem to be quite rare.

Denis, it's a 1625 watt broiler. I'll post some pics of the cannisters when I have a chance.
