Chicken Go 'Round!

This evening, we enjoyed a lovely rotisserie chicken, courtesy of the Sunbeam Carousel Rotisserie!

The word "Carousel" makes it sound like it's a fun experience for the Chicken (or the cow, or the lamb, or the pig, or the fish, or anything else on this particular ride) but nothing could be further from the truth. For one thing, the object being rotisseried is dead, which tends to put a damper on everything. But it also is subjected to a big nasty burner-type thing, that makes the whole rotisserie thing a, well, rotisserie thing.

But it's fun to look at: Sort of like an R2-D2, with the most fun graphics you will ever want to meet (even if they are used to further the sadistic idea that this is a fun experience for the rotissed) and it's certainly more efficient than firing up the oven and roasting the damn thing.

Here's a bad shot of those great graphics.




Sunbeam (or whatever nasty corporate entity has taken over that name and given the manufacturing over to slave labor in China) still makes a rotisserie, but it lacks all kinds of class, and has all sort of dreary safety features. No pizzazz at all. But the good news is that these classic units are still cheap and plentiful - if you know where to look.

All in all, it was a delicious chicken: Moist and tender. Lovely to look at, delightful to eat. Yet another example of Living Better Electrically.
