Kenmore Rotisserie/Oven Baker

[sikiguya]

Someone has this for sale on Craigslist and are wanting people to "make offers". What would be a fair offer for this? It looks to be in good shape.

Thanks!

Personally I'd price a new one, and go for no more than half of that amount. But that is just me.



It's a beaut!

I have one in my rotisserie collection and love it. As far as a price goes, I only put it in the "$20 tops" category.

If you do get it, drop me a note. I have the instruction book and will be happy to copy it and send it to you.

Thanks!

I have sent an offer ($15 to start and see where it goes from there). I will let you know if I get it!

Does it makes good rotisserie chicken? My kids LOVE chicken and we buy them from the grocery store already cooked 2x a week.

The fact that they love rotisserie chicken so much is why I am so interested in it!

I don't think I'd go higher than $20 then you have shipping. Don't forget the vintage Sunbeam vertical rotiss' show up every now and then as well.

IMHO

Vintage Sunbeam rotisseries do the best chicken, outside of an oven that is.

Fats drain natually away via gravity and clean up is eaiser than with the sort of oven/broiler arrangement as shown above.

Have a vintage Farbarware oven/broiler, and though it does not have the rotisserie, still is a pain to clean after making anything which spatters grease.

I have to agree that the Sunbeam vertical is the best, cooking wise. The Sears rotisserie has the best eye appeal in the kitchen. However, it does cook a good chicken!

I paid $17 for mine, it has a little pitting in the chrome but is complete and works.

Still waiting to hear

I am still waiting to hear back from him but thought I would share with you what else he has for sale. A perc, some strange radio??, a STRANGE knife that kinda scares me, vintage sewing machines and more (like a vintage vibrator that plugs into the wall!!!!!!!!)

Take a peek-there are some interesting pics! LOL

I've Seen That Vintage Kenmore Before

IIRC, it is from the 1950's and was made by or at least sold under "Broil King" or some such.

Huge all chrome job, as befitting the era and as with the above functioned as an oven, broiler and rotisserie

It looks suspiciously like my mid 50's Roto Broil, but it's probably newer because the Roto Broil has the old-school infrared coils and not the more modern heating element, and yes it makes excellent rotisserie chicken in one virtually carefree hour. I have thick the paperback "Mr. & Mrs. Roto Broil" cookbook that came with mine if you want the exact recipe, which I'm sure can be easily adapted to the controls on the Kenmore. Just email me if you are interested.

And yeah $20 tops for that thing. They still show up at thrift/consignment stores.
