GEORGE FOREMAN Big George Rotisserie GR80S

Pros: Great tasting food, easy to use, just set and forget!
Cons: Cook times and temperatures inaccurate.

Last year my brother in law bought his mother a rotisserie. At first I thought, what a waste when you can cook a chicken in the oven. I figured it was just another gadget, another toy to take up counter space. Boy was I wrong. The rotisserie makes...

Pros: Enormous capacity! Great for large families.
Cons: Cooking times need to be adjusted.

I was fortunate enough to be able to do a side by side comparison of the Big George Rotisserie and the Ronco Showtime Rotisserie. At first I had my heart set on getting the Ronco. I'd seen the commercial for the Showtime and was convinced it would be...

Pros: Big, heavy duty, high-quality, adjustable heat, cooks evenly, easy to set up
Cons: Big, heavy, small basket, no obvious way to cook spare ribs

For whatever reason, I've been on a small appliance binge lately. My most recent purchase is the George Foreman Big George Rotisserie GR80A from Salton. Like everyone else in America, I'd seen the Ron Popeil Showtime, and, like almost everyone else in...

Pros: Large interior, Easy to load
Cons: Extra cook time is generally needed

I purchased the Big George Rotisserie because it was the largest indoor home rotisserie oven I could find. So far, I have used it three times. Once for a 5lb whole chicken, once for steaks, and once for beef kabobs.

The chicken was great. I...

Pros: This product makes great tasting food which can be lower in fat.
Cons: It's a big, bulky machine that takes a lot of room.

We purchased this product after we had fell in love with George Foreman's grill. After we opened the box, we were a little disappointed at the size - it measures 21 inches long and 16 inches wide. We made a permanent spot for it on our counter. It...

Pros: Costs less than Ronco, comes with better warranty
Cons: Hard to clean, cook times longer

George Foreman Rotisserie – Ronco flavor – But more cooking time

How did I select this item?
I’ll have to tell you, my hubby surprised me with this after I unceremoniously dumped the Ronco Showtime at the curb for...

Pros: Tender, tasty, juicy chicken
Cons: Needs a more extensive cooking chart in the Owner's Manual

Pushing the envelope of this wonderful rotisserie, I selected two four-and-a-half pound whole chickens as my initial experience with the Big George Rotisserie. For the final fifteen minutes of our three-hour cook time we chose to add the top heating...

Pros: So versatile in what you can cook and no worries about what's the weather outside.
Cons: I never had any cons it worked so great and without any hassles or worries.

I had one till it was ruined during a move so I am getting a new one. They are great and I do mean great. The food is juicy and cooks evenly. I loved using mine and used it often. They are very handy to have. You don't have to go outside to cook on the ...

Pros: Easy to assemble, use and clean
Cons: Watch the time you cook your food

I bought this off an auction on Ebay new in the box. It was a good purchase.

The product was really easy to assemble. In about 3 minutes, it was out of the box and ready to use. The rotisserie rack slid into the case really easy and the...

Pros: Easy cooking with great results
Cons: None

If you have ever had and love rotisserie chicken from your local market, this appliance is just the tool for you.

I purchased the Big George the week of Christmas, just in time for our holiday turkey! I had the chance to give it a test drive...

Pros: Simply the best cooking investment you'll ever make.
Cons: None that I can think of offhand

MMm.....I am a chef by nature, and the George Foreman Rotisserie makes my job a whole lot easier.
I am absolutely loving the rotating skewer with easy assembly, and the pretty little window so I can watch my meat go around and around and...

Pros: Excellent kitchen gadget. replaced 70% of my stove and oven usage.
Cons: Watch your cooking times.

Update 12/30/02. There were some things I left out in my review.

1> Ease of cleaning > It is very easy to clean. The front lid comes off and you need only warm up the interior for a minute at the lowest setting and the interior wipes clean...

Pros: Well built, great controls, powerful.
Cons: Heavy and big. Difficult to use skewer assembly.

After getting more than 15 years of use out of two Farberware rotisseries, we stepped up to the enclosed Big George. Although it is quite bulky and heavy,it appeared to be a very well built unit. Controls are great and easy to use. Since this units...

Pros: None
Cons: Not worth the money

The advertising and enclosed video shows succulent meat, poultry, etc., dripping juices, glistening meat, rotating and glowing under steady heat to an eye perfection golden brown. It ain't so. My first attempt at roasting a 4# whole chicken to their...

Pros: Heavy Construction, good quality accessories.
Cons: Inaccurate Cooking times.

A couple of months ago, I was convinced that I just had to have the Showtime Rotisserie Oven. After reading the reviews posted, I chose the Forman GR 80. When it arrived, I promptly placed it on the patio, next to my Nesco Roaster. I live in the Phoenix...
