And if you put water in the drip pan before you start cooking, it washes like a plate. |

Really does not make much of a mess and a horizontal rotisserie with the heat coming from only the broiler is the best way to cook without a mess. The juices from the meat just cling to the surface and as the meat revolves and keeps it basted. I have used the rotisserie quite a bit in our early 70s GE SC wall oven in W Va. It is the one thing I really miss with my Thermador Thermatronic ovens, no rotisserie, I have threatened to install one in the Thermatronic Micro-Combination oven, I suspect that would be really great cooking.
The axillary vent hoods were once common when people were actually serious about cooking, Nutone made many of them. That is one of the great things about my Thermador SC wall ovens was that they vent outside like a clothes dryer for both cooking and cleaning. Even my early 70s Thermador drop-in range was designed to be wired in to the Thermador Tradewind vent hood so when a SC cycle was started it turned on the vent hood. |

Here is my over and under with a rota*Grill makes cooking a yard bird so tasty. I am sure glad they don't make this anymore. |

Does anyone know if my French door Frigidaire Custom Imperial is one that can have a rotisserie added? As far as I can tell, it doesn't have a place for a rotisserie although it does have connection for an internal thermometer. I found two of those on eBay.
The Farberware open hearths seem to come up for sale pretty often around here, and, unlike the Farberware griddle, the prices are pretty reasonable. This thread has piqued my interest. Sarah |

My '59 Frigidaire CI range has a rotisserie and I have to say putting a chicken on mid winter fills the house with a great smell. I use mine quite often once the weather turns cold. If your oven is set up for one it's well worth tracking down the parts. |

Hi Sarah, your FD oven is equipped for the optional rotisserie , at this point you will probably have to find a Fd oven with one and transfer it to you oven if you want one.
FDs rotisserie was more complicated than most and always looked a little problematic to me.
Reply #9, Why are you glad they don't make the rotisseries any longer ?

Is that what the round cover is in the back of her oven ? The opening for the skewer to plug into the rotisserie motor ? |

Hi Matt, FD had a switch system that the spit rod contacted that changed the wiring to the broiler element and bake element [ as you mentioned ] so to add the rotisserie to a FD oven you need the exact kit, and I can't begin to remember how many FD ranges I have worked on where the oven did not work properly because the rotisserie connection wiring block burned up, this actually happens whether the oven had the kit or not, to my knowledge FD is the only one that had such a complicated system.

How many parts does the Frigidaire rotisserie attachment contain? I've found this listing for a Flair that has at least some of the rotisserie parts. Does it have all of the parts? If it does, I'll make the seller an offer for the rotisserie parts only.
Thanks, Sarah

If you can't find the parts, or if you want to modify an oven you could try a generic rotisserie rod and motor assem.

John L. said I'd need the exact kit for the Frigidaire. Mine is a Custom Imperial wall oven with French doors. So, I have two questions--
will the Flair rotisserie parts fit the wall ovens? Are the motors built in to the oven or separate attachments? So, are the parts in the picture of the Flair that I posted complete? and will they fit my Custom Imperial wall oven. Many thanks, Sarah |
