Around the third week in May, I was lucky enough to get a nice Amazon gift certificate, and used it to buy a Ronco ST3001WHGEN Showtime Compact Rotisserie and Barbeque Oven, aka “Set It And Forget It”.
My neighbor/friend across the street received the full-size version several years ago as a gift, and has been raving about it ever since.
I love rotisserie chicken as much as a good steak, but was seven months’ worth of nervous about using the “Set It”. It came with a couple of instruction books filled with cautionary messages about the dangers of setting things on fire or burning yourself.
Happened to be at my friend’s house yesterday for a splendid Christmas Eve dinner, so I asked her to show me how to roast a chicken today, on Christmas. She was nice enough to say she’d help me out.
Problem; I didn’t have a chicken and of course, all of the supermarkets were closed.
All except the Pocasset Country Market, which is open today until 2 PM.
My friend did come over and she set up the chicken, which has been in the oven less than an hour and is already looking pretty good. It isn’t sitting in fat like a roast chicken, and it doesn’t have tons of sodium like a store-bought rotisserie chicken.
It smells so good in fact that the cat is walking around restlessly and meowing, a good sign, indeed.
