Set It and Forget It

Behold. The madness that is the Showtime Rotisserie Grill. For some reason this thing was a crazy hit seller about 10 years back. The only question, why?

Because in reality, you're paying about $200 for this tool, which still doesn't actually do anything, until you:

1. Buy a raw chicken
2. Clean it
3. Prep it
4. Place the raw chicken in the Showtime Grill
5. Set it
6. Forget it
7. Wait 1 hour
8. Pull flaming hot rotisserie chicken out of grill
9. Take flaming hot rotisserie chicken off the flaming hot chicken holding unit
10. Put flaming hot rotisserie chicken on plate
11. Eat rotisserie chicken
12. Go back in the kitchen and clean grill

OR, you could just do the following:

1. Go to grocery store
2. Buy rotisserie chicken
3. Eat rotisserie chicken

All for about $2 more than buying a raw chicken. Um, is this really a difficult decision? You'd have to cook about 100 chickens for the grill to break even on the cost vs. buying the fully cooked chicken, not to mention the 50 other ridiculous steps needed.

Showtime Rotisserie Grill owners... you all fail.
