Enjoy the benefits of an electric roaster without losing valuable counter space thanks to this unique, vertically designed rotisserie. One of the fastest, most efficient ways to prepare meat, the appliance can roast up to 8 pounds at a time, basting meat in its own juices as it rotates, while draining away unwanted fat and grease into a removable drip tray for healthier results. The unit provides simple touchpad controls with an LCD readout and five preset temperature settings: 325, 350, 400, 425, and 450 degrees F.
