There was a conversation about tabletop rotisseries a few weeks back, but I couldn't find the thread, so I started this one.

We are having a neighborhood get-together next weekend, and I am providing rotisserie chicken and "Hawaiian Pork Roast" (from a 60's Betty Crocker cookbook) for the big event. In preperation, I dug my rotisseries out of the attic today and cleaned them up.

One is the R2-D2 Sunbeam and the other is the GE Rotisserie Oven. I hope there's enough electricity at this place to run these guys (we would normally use the grill, but this is easier to transport. Plus, they are great conversation pieces.)
 
Re: Sunbeam Verticle Carousel Rotisserie:

"OMG" Dan, I've got one of those Sunbeam's, do you have all of the Accessories too? My Parent's bought this one around 1965 at a Discount Store here, that was called SEE Discount Center. I've got the Skewers for Shish-Ka-Bobs, that go on a Metal Bowl, to place other Veggies, etc in a little water to cook. There is a Wire Basket for cooking Hot Dogs on the Upper Stems and placing items in the Basket, and the Center Rod with a round Metal Plate on the bottom to hold Roasts and Whole Chickens for Roasting. I'm not sure if I can find the Owner's Manual soon, but if I remember, it does have some great cooking ideas and some great Recipes in it as well.

Have a wonderful Cook-Out next weekend an enjoy your Rotisseries and 1960's Food preparations.

Peace and Happy Neighborhood Gathering and Great Food, Steve

Sacto and Dalang....

How is the Sunbeam to cook on? I almost bought one of those off EBAY last year, just forgot about it and lost the auction! This item was profiled on AMCs "Dinner and a Movie", which is normally really stupid filler in a classic movie presentation, but that night they used that cooker and talked about it some.

I was looking to add either that unit, or one of those big Farberware open rotis units to The Collection.

Hmmmm....Looks like the Popeil Showtime Rotisserie isn't such a new "invention" after all. But, ya gotta admit, old Ron is a great huckster. I even bought one and it works great.
 
I also have the Sunbeam Carousel Rotis, I really like it and it sure does do a chicken beautifully. Kevin I would go with the Sunbeam. I had the Farberware Open rotis broiler at one time and ended up selling it at a garage sale. Seemed like it took a very long time to cook due to the open space. Also was a pain in the --- to clean. Just my two cents. Terry
 
Love the Sunbeam!

It really is effortless - you just jam the poor chicken down on the skewer, turn it on, set your timer, and you get a perfect chicken everytime. I've yet to use it on a roast, but this pseudo Hawaiian pork thing I'm making will test that - it's basically a marinated rolled shoulder roast - and I can't imagine the results will be much different (but if they are, will I ever be embarassed! ;-)

The GE is cool, but you have to be a lot more careful about "load balancing". Gravity is not necessarily your friend with one of these puppies.
 
Re: Kabob Skewers:

Hi! Kevin, as I mentioned in my Thread Posting, I've got the Skewers for Shish-Ka-Bobs, that go on a Metal Bowl, to place other Veggies, etc in a little water to cook. There is a Wire Basket for cooking Hot Dogs on the Upper Stems and placing items in the Basket, and the Center Rod with a round Metal Plate on the bottom to hold Roasts and Whole Chickens for Roasting.

I would go with the Sunbeam Vertical Rotisserie, over any other ones any day. I think that they cook just as well, if not maybe even a little better than Horizontal Rotisseries.

I've also got a couple of the Farberware Open-Hearth Smoke-Free Cookers/Rotisseries and I've also found that they do take some time to cook Meat, especially on the Grill, but they also do a great job at Cooking as well.

Peace and Happy Rotisserie Cooking, Steve

I saw an expensive gas grill with a rotissirie attachment (rare on new ones these days). It had this weighted balance thing where you can balance the meat so it turns properly. Just like a front load washer, a h-axis rotiss needs perfect balance. Try to tell that to the pig that's giving his shoulder for that.
 
Well of course Steve, you need a Showtime rotisserie. My nephew has one and loves it. I have had several things fixed in it and they have all been great. It is one of those things that once you have it you are amazed at how much you use it. Easy to clean too. Terry
 
besides Terry,

eating too much meat is not healty. But they say fish once-in a while is good for ya.

NAH...too much mercury.

Chicken...now we are talking.. LOL

And Steve as I told you, it does make a wonderful chicken. In fact the standard sized one will easily hold two chickens for those times when you have a large gathering, perfect for those last minute wash-ins!!Terry
