A kitchen gizmo I love

A few years ago my husband walked in the door with a big box from the store. He was beaming with excitement which at first made me think oh no what did he buy this time and when he revealed it I thought yet again oh no what did he buy this time and is he planning on building me some more counters haha. He had purchased a Ronco rotisserie countertop cooker. As I was asking if he kept the receipt, I thumbed through the accompanying booklet of how to's and whatnot.

Fast forward to present and I have to say this little machine has become indispensable in our kitchen. I use it quite frequently at least a couple times a month I'd say. Last night I roasted a chicken in it and today from the chicken breast, I made a yummy roast chicken vegetable stew. Next time I roast a chicken I will include a pic of it along with some action shots of it roasting lol.

The whole house smells delicious as it cooks away and for most  chickens takes about an hour or so give or take a few for weight. I usually keep the rub simple but you can really experiment with your seasonings have have some fun. I usually just rub with McCormick Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning or Mesquite seasoning and pop it in the rotissierie and it comes out great every time. The rotisserie comes with some disposeable oven safe elastic bands that you bind the chicken with but I decided to purchase something more permanent and I bought these reusable silicone cooking bands which are also up there on my must have list. 

You can roast more than just chicken in this rotisserie but this is my primary use for it. If you have one or buy one feel free to share your yummy discoveries and perhaps I can break out of the just roasting chicken routine haha. Enjoy ~Curvy Cook

PS. I think I owe my husband some husband points for this purchase.
