I'm posting this because of a phenomenon familiar to most of us -- the fact that no matter how much you may love someone, eventually you'll notice that they have habits and idiosyncrasies that irritate the hell out of you.
Take my boyfriend, for example. One of his idiosyncrasies is that from time to time he'll get a little obsessed with something, and will research the hell out of it. It was worst when he was thinking about buying a new car, and consequently spent about three or four months researching which car to buy, up to and including watching youtube videos of various cars driving uphill in various weather conditions. Ever since, I have referred to one of these obsessive fits as "*obsession* driving uphill."
That's where you come in. Lately, the boyfriend has been seized with the idea of buying a rotisserie cooker. God knows why. If we get one, we'll likely use it twice and then shove it in a cabinet and forget about it. However, boyfriend will not be dissuaded. He wants me to research various rotisserie cookers, their prices, and the pros and cons of having one.
I will not. I have a life. And to that end, I'm hoping that some of you hardcore cooks out there will tell me whether or not a couple of buffoons like us need a rotisserie cooker.
So you out there... What are the pros and cons of owning a rotisserie cooker? Is it worth the expense? Do you use it often? Is it a must-have accessory for the casual cook? Drive those rotisserie cookers uphill and tell me about it!
