Overview
The Ronco ST5500STAIN is a countertop rotisserie oven rated for up to 12 pounds, using Ronco's self-basting rotisserie spit alongside a multi-purpose basket for roasting outside of a whole bird.
- 12 lb capacity rotisserie spit
- Roast, sear, and warm settings
- Up to 3 hour timer with auto shut-off
- Includes basket, spit, carving platform, gloves
Who it's for
Fits anyone roasting a whole chicken or turkey regularly and wanting a set-and-forget alternative to an oven, plus the basket for ribs, vegetables, or kabobs. Buyers expecting to spin two full-size chickens at once, per the 12-pound marketing claim, should size that against what one reviewer found workable only with smaller birds.
Pros and cons
- Cooks a rib roast or whole chicken evenly
- Removable glass door and drip pan are dishwasher safe
- Multi-purpose basket extends use beyond whole birds
- Set-and-forget timer with automatic shut-off
- Fitting two whole chickens at once is a tight claim
- Some units arrive with a damaged or loose door track
- Slower spin than the original Ronco design
- Stainless model still uses non-stick coated inner parts
