Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of George Foreman GR82B George Jr. Rotisserie

Customer Review: A Surprisingly Useful Kitchen Appliance
Summary: 4 Stars

After so many half cooked or over cooked chickens in my oven, I finally took the plunge and shopped for a rotisserie. I looked at the Popiel Showtime grill but decided against it because of the reviews that I read here on Amazon.com. They were so inconsistent that I was afraid the quality control was poor. So I opted for Mr. Foreman's rotisserie after reading the reviews. They are all right on. It's easy to clean except for the back plate (that's what lost the one star) - however, I use SOS pads and it comes clean (although scratched - it's up to you - stained or scratched). The first thing I cooked was a chicken. As many reviews have stated, it does come out perfect like a deli rotisserie chicken. The instructions do not give a lot of help with cooking times, so check the meat periodically with a thermometer so you don't over-cook it. The next thing I cooked was a rolled roast (a test for an upcoming dinner party). I cooked it 20 minutes to the pound, but with the additional sitting, it came out medium (I like medium rare). When I cooked another rolled roast for my dinner party, I calculated 15 minutes to the pound and checked the temperature. At that point it was a bit underdone, so I added 15 minutes. The point is, if you like medium rare beef, cook it until it is 130-135 and then turn it off and let it sit. The final roast will be about 140 to 145 (I hope). Experiment with your machine, learn it's quirks, and I'm sure you'll be very satisfied. I've used this machine 3 times in the two weeks since I bought it. If you cook roasts or whole chicken often, this is a good buy.

Description of George Foreman GR82B George Jr. Rotisserie

Great for poultry, fish, burgers, veggies, kabobs holds up to a 10 lb. Turkey meats self-baste in their own juices easy-to-use spit assembly 3 hour countdown cooking timer includes adjustable flat basket and exclusive round basket for air baked fries and veggies 6 kabob skewers. Roll-top door for easy access. Large viewing window. Slide-out drip tray captures run-off fat. Convenient spit assembly remover

Big enough to hold a 10-pound turkey, two chickens, six kebabs, six beef or fish steaks, or a family-size portion of french fries, yet compact enough to fit on any kitchen counter, this rotisserie brings the advantages of rotational cooking into the home. The 1,100-watt appliance measures just 18 inches wide, 12-1/2 inches high, and 12-1/2 inches deep, and its spits are 9-1/4 inches long.

The spits are one of four cooking methods provided by the rotisserie. There's a round basket for roasting vegetables and "dry-frying" potatoes (fresh or frozen) in the low-fat method for which George Foreman appliances are famous. A flat basket measuring 8-1/4 inches long, 7-1/2 inches wide, and 2-1/2 inches deep adjusts to hold foods like fish, steaks, and vegetables flat for grilling as they rotate. Finally, six skewers fit into the rotisserie for kebabs and pork ribs. Other features include a lift-up cover with a window, a three-hour timer, and a pullout drip tray. The rotisserie has a metal-and-plastic exterior and a metal interior for easy cleaning. It carries a one-year warranty against defects and comes with a cooking time chart and recipes. --Fred Brack
