The Ronco Showtime Modern Rotisserie is a countertop rotisserie oven that turns a whole chicken, a 12-pound turkey, or two chickens at once on a rotating spit. Its three modes cover roasting with rotation, searing with the food paused in front of the heating element, and no-heat rotation to keep juices even before serving. A multipurpose basket handles burgers, sausages, fish and vegetables, and the parts are dishwasher safe. It suits cooks who want rotisserie chicken at home without a full-size oven or grill, though it takes up counter space and the cleanup around the spit and drip tray is the usual complaint with this kind of oven.

Owners of the Showtime line generally praise the moist, evenly browned chicken and turkey it turns out and the convenience of the auto shut-off timer. Complaints center on cleanup and on the space it occupies on the counter.
The Ronco Showtime Modern Rotisserie is a countertop rotisserie oven in stainless steel. It holds a turkey up to 12 pounds or 2 whole chickens. It is 13 inches tall and 17.75 inches wide, so it fits under cabinets.
A switch selects one of three settings. Roast cooks with normal rotisserie rotation. Sear pauses rotation so the food stops in front of the heating element. No Heat Rotation keeps the food turning to distribute the juices evenly before serving. The rotating design bastes the food as it cooks, and a removable heat reflector helps brown the meat.
An adjustable timer runs up to 3 hours and shuts the oven off automatically when time is up. The included multipurpose basket cooks burgers, sausages, fish and vegetables. The interior wipes clean with a damp cloth, and the removable glass door and drip pan are dishwasher safe.
