though it made me nervous it was going to break the little rotation thingy. But I got one that was 3.9lbs and trussed it and put the spit in. I've considered doing cornish game hens just to fit in there lol. It's really hard to FIND a bird that is under 4lbs these days where I am. The 4lb weight limit (it's in the manual, not just allegorical) is lame. I have used the rotisserie spit a couple times so far. My conventional oven doesn't come close to coming out that good. The inside is super juicy, the outside is perfectly crispy. Salt, herbs, lay on the racks and cook for like 20 minutes. I have been doing the precut pieces we get in a shrinkwrapped pack at the grocery that go on sale for really cheap. Being able to toss a bunch of potato strips into the basket and turn it on for 15 minutes and ignore it while I cook other things is awesome too.Īnother really nice once is roast chicken. Making french fries and potato chips from scratch with minimal oil and effort has been great. The rock star of the uses has been potatoes. I really like the unit now that it's working. so an 8x8 metal baking dish WILL fit, but the ones I have with handles won't. There is plenty of vertical space inside for most stuff, it's just the width of the unit is non standard. I picked up a few new items at goodwill for cheap though so I'm mostly sorted on that front. So a lot of the baking dishes I have and the mini-silpat ripoff mats that I have are like an inch too big to fit inside. The inside is JUUUUST barely too small to be standard. Most things that call for 450F are designed for conventional ovens and when you do convection you reduce the temp and time by a bit. I wish the temperature would go up at least to 450F and not just 400F. The other two small annoyances that don't fit in the "bad" camp but aren't good. So I feel like the ones from the release were likely the defective ones and the stuff that is coming from them directly now is hopefully better. When I called in the last time I mentioned that it sucked that they were a walmart exclusive (fuck walmart) and they said "oh the original run was but they aren't anymore". Either way, it hasn't fucked up again *knock on wood*. There is a vent on the back I don't remember being on the unit originally which could be due to the steam issue that has been postulated. I'm not 100% but I think it's a slightly different design. This one has been working fine for me so far. It's a new run of them (they print the number of units on the side of the box). Customer service this time just shipped me one on my word I would send back the old one so I got it in 2 days which was nice. So that one got returned without even testing lol. The unit had some marks on it even through the packaging (it was that bad, some holes went right in where you could see the oven through the box, fuck fedex). and the box looked like fedex had thrown it down some stairs, backed up over it with the truck, then thrown it down some more stairs. their customer service people are top notch (their site SUCKS but the phone people are great). They were super helpful and shipped it out (took 2 weeks though because going from oregon to eastern canada before they would send the new one which comes from a warehouse in california ugh). I called customer service and did an RMA. Though, might decided that it would go as HIGH as possible without warning instead of low so that's fun. I can confirm what /u/YoursTastesBetter said about the button malfunction. There is either a design flaw or some serious QA issues with the initial run. I'll get the bad stuff out of the way first.
