Oh my gosh, I love this gadget along with the basket accessory. My first use was to make a rotisserie chicken, and the smell was amazing. The whole neighborhood must have been drooling over this smell. The taste was fantastic. Better than any I'd ever had. I then upped the ante and decided to roast a turkey breast, the one where they have the whole ribcage and just remove the wings and legs. OMG, I'll never do turkey any other way! I've baked, fried, and smoked turkeys for years, chasing the perfect method for cooking. I've finally found it. I do not kid when I say I'll never cook turkey any different than with my Joetisserie.
