Viewing new barbeque ovens, Wilsic, near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, 1961. At a sales incentives day run by the Danish Bacon Company, shopkeepers and butchers view the new rotisserie oven used for the cooking of chicken, similar to todays supermarket ovens. It would appear that the gentleman viewing the oven would prefer his chicken smoked, as he is standing a little too close with his cigarette

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time during a sales incentives day organized by the Danish Bacon Company in Wilsic, near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, in 1961. Shopkeepers and butchers gather around to view the latest innovation in cooking technology - the new rotisserie oven designed for chicken. Reminiscent of today's supermarket ovens, this state-of-the-art appliance promises to revolutionize the way poultry is prepared. Amidst the crowd stands a distinguished gentleman who seems particularly intrigued by this new contraption. With cigarette in hand, he leans forward slightly towards the oven as if contemplating how it could enhance his culinary endeavors. Perhaps he envisions infusing his chicken with a smoky flavor that only comes from close proximity to tobacco smoke. The image beautifully encapsulates both an era of progress and societal norms of mid-20th century Britain. It showcases not only technological advancements but also hints at cultural practices such as smoking being more prevalent back then. Photographed by Michael Walters, this monochrome portrait offers us a glimpse into an event where industry professionals gathered to witness firsthand the future of cookery. The composition highlights both men and women engrossed in conversation while exploring this groundbreaking invention. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how far we have come since 1961 when barbeque ovens were still considered cutting-edge technology – yet also prompted to reflect on how our tastes and habits have evolved over decades.
