Cuisinart Convection Toaster Oven Broiler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this oven for several months now. I missed an opportunity to by it as a factory refurbished unit, and ended up buying it new here. Initially, I wanted to hold out for a convection oven with a larger capacity, but the reality of unit size and lack of availability of a larger oven with similar features convinced me to by this model.
I think I made the right choice. It is large enough to bake and broil a wide variety of things without having to resort to the "big oven", it has accurate, even temp control, and enough features and custom settings that I am still discovering new and better ways to use it.
It is a pretty large oven, does everything advertsed in best of class fashion, it's very easy to clean, and looks "right" no matter how your kitchen is outfitted. Even simple tasks like making toast are handled better than any regular toaster or cheap toaster oven that I have tried. When toasting bread or bagles, the first part of the cycle brings the bread up to teperature without bringing the heat elements up to "toasting" tepmerature. Towards the end of the cycle, the elements glow bright red, and toast both surfaces very evenly, and to taste. The result is perfectly toasted bread, bagles, pizza slices, etc, without cold centers. The cycle can easily be tailored for your favorite bread. Perfect.
Before I forget, someone posted a "review" here that really was a question about what temp the oven is capable of. The oven can also broil, so that would indicate that it can reach high temps, and in fact, it can. The "bake" setting allows you to select a temerature on the display up to 500 degrees. Most any cooking technique that can be done with a quality conventional oven can be done with this gem. And more. When I first started using the oven, I checked it's indicated temp with my electronic thermometer that I use for calibrating industrial sensors. In every case, the indicated air temp was within a few degrees of reality. My full sized oven wasn't anywhere near that close when it was new.
Broiling, baking, defrosting, and reheating leftovers are also given the benefit of digital control over the cooking cycle. Even the crumb tray was designed for effective operation, and ease of cleaning. I have used a number of dedicated convection ovens, and more than a few toaster ovens over the years, but this one is in a class by itself. Even if you grew up with the microwave, this oven won't gather dust on your countertop.
Update... July 12, 2005. This oven is used most every day, and has proved to be a solid performer. As time passed, I have used pretty much all of the functions of the oven, and learned to customize settings to please me along the way. I have not had a single problem with the oven since the day it arrived, and being easy to keep clean, it still looks factory new (when I clean it). It is about as large as I care to have on the countertop, and for bigger jobs, I simply use the main kitchen oven. For most anything else, this is the oven that gets the call. I still rate five stars.

Rival 2-Slice Toaster - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After 25+ years my cheap old Black & Decker toaster died, so I was looking for another simple basic toaster that cost little, at least until I could look at all the reviews and choose the right toaster for my needs, I decided to take a chance on this cheap Rival, I've been using it every day for about 6 months... it works OK, does the job I need for standard bread and English muffins, I've not tried bagels but this does NOT have a bagel setting so I'm guessing it will not be good for those... this is called "cool touch" and it is, but if you're careless you can still burn yourself, but there is a toast "lifter" that should make toast easier to remove.

It has wide slots that adjust for thick English muffins to normal sandwich bread, and has a simple "toast shade" control, but you have to learn to set this properly for normal bread versus English muffins (muffins are set about twice the setting used for sandwich bread)... there is a "cancel" button that has always worked for me when I forgot and left the toast shade control too dark, the manual warns to use this "cancel" button instead of just lifting the "toast lever" since lifting it may damage the device... bread is "almost" evenly toasted, though one end of English muffins are always toasted a bit darker than the other end, but it's acceptable for my needs... has removable crumb tray that's easy to clean.

This is a simple basic toaster that costs little, so if your needs are simple this might work for you, however there is one problem for me, most of the bread I buy is just over 5 inches long, and I've always been able to toast it with no problems using my old toaster, but the "bread slot" on this toaster is just LESS than 5 inches, which means my bread will not fit unless I cut off about .25 inch, this is mostly a nuisance but I'm looking for another toaster that will accept my regular bread length... for the low price this toaster does an OK job for many people, though there are definite things lacking if you need more features.

Calphalon HE650CO XL 1400-Watt 0.7-Cubic-Foot 6-Slice Convection Oven Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had very high hopes for this oven. It has the Calphalon name on it. Their PR write up sounds so promising. The warranty is good. The oven is handsome. Too bad it fails as an oven though. I tested this oven thoroughly upon receipt. I knew I had to make sure this was a keeper given the price. Save your money and buy a $60 toaster oven. It is important to share that I never use a 'big' oven. Normal ovens pull 3500 watts. They cost a fortune and the overwhelming majority of people don't need such a cavernous appliance. So I bake a lot and everything in countertop ovens. This oven suffers from bad design flaws. You can only use the middle rack position or you will burn the top or bottom of your food. There is almost no internal clearance for anything but the shallowest casserole dish. If you use the rack in the inverted position facing downwards (it has a 'dip' design to - not flat) and pull the rack out to safely remove the dish, the dish slides at a fast clip right out of the oven - almost lost a dish as it rapidly headed for the floor. This is happening because the rack tips down once you pull it forward enough to safely grasp the hot pan. Now I had to flip the rack and use it in that position due to the excessively low clearance - my small casserole dish wouldn't fit and I couldn't move the rack down lest I burn the food - you see where this circle never ends. This occurred regardless of using a casserole dish or a bake sheet. And the back left quadrant cooks much faster than the rest of the oven. I had to watch the food and rotate the pan - talk about aggravating. The back of the oven is actually angled forward presenting a really strange limitation on what it can really hold. I tested many different types of items in the oven to be as thorough and fair as I possibly could especially since it came in such a large packing box. It is going to be a pain to return but return I must unless I feel like cursing everytime I attempt to use it. I am wondering if the people who designed this ever actually used it? A few design changes and this product wouldn't be such a beast.
Clarification: There is an 'edge' to the rack that, when used with the invert facing upwards will stop any dish from sliding out. But the loss of clear space above means only pans or very shallow dishes can be used. Tried using it in this position in the lowest slots but that was still so close to the lower elements that the bottom of the cinnamon rolls burned. Just want to be specific about the issues faced. I am looking for a counter top oven that does more than just pizza, biscuits, etc.. I believe the enclosed user guide mentioned you could use this oven to cook a chicken. It had better be either a cut up one or a miniature one.

Attractively housed in stainless steel, this convection oven not only looks great on the countertop, it also provides an array of convenient features. The appliance bakes, broils, and toasts, and its large 0.7-cubic-foot capacity can accommodate a 9-by-13-inch pan, a 12-inch pizza, or six slices of bread, bagel halves, or English muffin halves. To toast, simply press the "toast" button and select from "light", "medium", or "dark" shade settings. For baking, turn the temperature control knob to the desired heat setting, ranging from 250 to 450 degrees F, then set the timer up to 60 minutes or choose the "always on" setting for continuous operation. For convection baking, simply push the button and the convection fan circulates warm air around food during the baking cycle for superior browning and even baking or roasting. Or, turn the control knob to "broil" and set the timer; the unit's upper heating element will quickly sear meats or melt cheese on garlic bread. A chime will sound once the timer ticks down to zero, or with the "always on" setting, the unit will shut off automatically after two hours. Other highlights include an Opti-Heat system for premium heating, a glass door for checking on the cooking progress at a glance, a high-performance bronze nonstick interior, and a removable crumb tray for quick cleanup. Accessories include a nonstick heavy-gauge 9-by-13-inch baking pan/broil rack and an easy-to-follow instruction book. With its sleek, contoured shape, the 1400-watt convection oven measures 16 by 17-2/3 by 10-2/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Cuisinart BRK-200 Brick Oven Deluxe, Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this beautiful toaster/convection oven to use as a second oven for entertaining/holidays and for everyday use to cook for just the two of us.
First of all, it's darned beautiful to look at. It matches my stainless appliances and looks fabulous on my counter. The controls are very easy to use. It comes with 2 racks (although you're only supposed to use one at a time) and a baking pan/broiler tray. But the best thing is that it comes with a baking stone which sits in one of the racks and the oven itself is lined with baking stone material on either side. The back of the oven has the convection fan. All non-stone surfaces are of nonstick material, which makes it a cinch to clean.
In the month I've had it, I've used this amazing appliance to bake cakes and casseroles, broil shrimp, make pizza, roast tomatoes and chickens and even toast an english muffin! It passed every test with flying colors. The oven is large enough to fit a whole chicken for roasting - and did a great job.
I'd say the weak points are that you have to turn the oven around to get the crumb tray out (a minor inconvenience) and both the crumb tray and the baking pan tend to warp when the oven is hot.
To use the baking stone, you must preheat the oven for at least 30 minutes. Not a problem for me, as I preheated while waiting for my pizza dough to rise. Worked out great.
I'm delighted to give this my highest recommendation.

(More customer reviews)Toasts and bakes well. I just toasted an english muffin and it came out fine. (didn't understand review about not toasting). Makes nice, crispy (not burnt) waffles. Oven gets hot fast (less pre-heat time). Compact size (I live in an apartment so that's important). I gave it only 4 stars because it's not too attractive. But, it works well!

Euro-Pro TO251 Convection 6-Slice Toaster Oven with Pizza Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)[Update July 10, 2010: Rating downgraded to 3 stars and sinking: broken under warranty. Using their customer service webpage kicks back an email saying to email them, and then emailing them got an email couple of days later to call their 800 number. Haven't had a moment to call them yet but will report back.
As much as I like this thing, the controls have quit functioning, after only 7 months of use (initially stuck on high Grill, then wouldn't turn on). And, for those of us who do not live close to Toronto, warranty service is next to useless, because it costs $37.50 for me to mail it from my location internationally to Toronto, plus $9.95 that they request for return shipping and handling, plus the uncertainty that they will actually repair/replace the thing "if it is found ... to be defective in material or workmanship". I contacted customer service for a better solution (e.g. send me some replacement knob modules), but I don't know if that is possible or feasible -- stay tuned for updates. For the moment I am lowering my rating of this toaster to 3 stars because this is too soon to break, but I really like using it and want to give their customer service a chance, though they haven't yet bothered to respond to me (On June 26 I used their website contact page, and on June 30 I sent them email; and I have been checking my spam folder). I hope we can work out a more reasonable way to repair it. For the moment I've moved my old kenmore back into the kitchen -- it has lasted several years and counting, and was replaced only for cosmetic reasons.]
Original review (4 stars):
I bought this from Sears to replace my dirty ugly (but functional) old Kenmore toaster oven. I am pretty happy with it, but there are a few things about it that are not perfect.
I think this toaster oven is the same as many others out there. If you are shopping for toaster ovens, you will see that there are lots of different models and brands offering pretty much the same configuration of controls and features as this one. I suspect that they are all made in the same factory and just have different body styles and name brands slapped on to them.
Anyway, here are some of the features that I like about it:
- It has a "Stay On" setting, so if I am baking something that will take more than 60 minutes I don't have to keep turning up the timer to keep the oven on.
- It offers different cooking combinations of top heat, bottom heat, both, convection on and off.
- It has a bulge in the back ("pizza bump") so that I can put a 12 inch diameter pizza pan in it (one was in the box, but I prefer a pizza screen). Not counting the bulge, the interior is about 9" x 12". It is 4.75 inches from the rack in lowest position to the top heating elements.
- It came with a second rack so I can heat things on two racks at the same time if I want to.
- The stainless steel body means that I can scrub the body without having to worry about removing color (and it looks good)
A few flaws that made me contemplate returning it:
- The outside gets hotter than my older (Kenmore) toaster oven. I put a grill thermometer on the top, when baking at full temp, the top surface reaches 220, about 20 degrees warmer than my old Kenmore. I looked and there appears to be an air gap between the roof of the oven and the outside top surface, but I could not tell if there is any insulation in there. But that means it gets the kitchen hotter, and it provides a hotter warming shelf (plates now get too hot if left too long). [I have moved my ugly old toaster oven out to my patio, and if it is too hot to bake inside, I will bake out there instead.]
- The temperature dial goes down to 150 degrees, but when I have tested it with various cooking modes, the actual oven temperature didn't go lower than 200 in one cooking mode, and 180 in another one. I had been hoping to use this for things like slow roasting and food drying, but that is too hot.
- At the corners of the glass door, there are little cushions that probably protect the glass door from shock, but they also prevent the glass door from closing the whole way, so there is a gap of about 2.5mm to let the heat out (using more electricity and making the kitchen hotter). I haven't decided if this is a feature (perhaps it was felt that some air flow was needed) or a bug.
- If you pull the rack out more than one inch, the back is no longer supported so the back of the rack falls down, and what you are baking slides down to the back. This is a real design flaw, but I have just gotten used to the annoyance and hardly pull the rack out now.
However, in spite of these flaws, I find that I am really happy with the purchase and have enjoyed using its many functions.
Also, note that the ridiculously huge dimensions given in the Amazon listing (at the time of this writing) are the size of the box, not the toaster oven itself. The toaster oven is 17.75 wide x 10.25 tall x 13.5 deep, not counting little bumpers which stick out of the side and back about a half inch to prevent it being pushed too close to walls.

Emerson Toaster Oven Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this product and think it is great!. We had a delonghi toaster for a short while, and it never failed to burn toast , bagels or anything else we put in it. It could never regulate the temperature. Would NEVER buy another Delonghi product. This product toasts evenly and perfect, bakes to perfection and rotisseries a small chicken or game hen evenly. .It has a little handle pull for the racks and trays which make removing a pizza or larger items easy, and a full size bottom crumb rack . The rotisserie attachment is easy to insert or remove. Makes toast in a reasonable amount of time. The best part is: it is self-cleaning. I'm happy with it.

Sharp SuperSteam Microwave Oven Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off this is a VERY attractive appliance. The picture on the website does not do it justice, as weird as that may seem. It is substancial, well built, and looks and feels like something from a professional kitchen. Even though the measurements are documented, the oven just seems bigger. Personally, I think it's too big for a counter and would be best mounted into a unit. There could be some problems with mounting because you absolutely DO need the recommended space above, behind and to the sides - you can't get away with putting it up against anything if you plan on using the steam feature.
Good things:
The convention over works exactly as it should - I made a cake and it came out super-fluffy and perfectly cooked in and out, and very moist. Also made a sandwich and the bread was nice and crispy and the tomatoes inside were perfectly cooked. I made two chickens - one with the steam and one without. Both were good, but the one with the steam did get brown (lightly) and looked better, although they both tasted great and moist.
Microwave works fine. Downside is that there is no spinning wheel, so you have to stir and flip things around - AND - the microwave keeps stopping to tell you to do that. A bit annoying.
Although the job wheel feels very expensive and all the options are laid out well - I would prefer some buttons, espcially with the microwave. You can't just pop something in and start nuking. YOu have to press the microwave button and then use the wheel to go down one selection and then press enter and then use the wheel to spin to a time and then you can finally hit start. They should have moved that up one level to make it faster.
You get several well built pans and racks with this, which is very nice bonus.
The instructions are overwhelming, but when you actually go to use the oven, it makes sense.
Putting the water in for the steam function is very easy - a little box/cup thing comes out, you fill it and put it back in. done.
The auto sense microwave warming part works really well. I always want to doubt that it will work, but it actually does.
Overall it's a very intelligent unit, looks gorgeous and can completely replace your oven and microwave. Downside is that interface, which although it is slick, I don't much care for it and seems to require more thought than I care to put into microwaving something.
I would give it 4.5 stars because of that - but really it's a very nice oven.
One more thing - oddly enough, it does not put out excessive amounts of heat compared to your regular oven. You can open it during cooking and not get blasted by heat (although you should be careful). And cooking the chickens didn't heat up my whole kitchen or apartment like the oven usually does. The steam will kick up the humidity, but not that much.
Update - I wanted to add that I made a Flan recently and it came out perfectly. Usually I make it in a regular oven in a water bath. I skipped the water bath and just put it into the Sharp and chose convection oven - it came out perfectly cooked from edges to the middle! Anyone who has made a Flan will know how hard it is to get the center to cook correctly without overdoing the sides. I was pretty happy with this.

Maxi-Matic ETO-113 Elite Cuisine 2-Slice Toaster Oven with 15 Minute Timer, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's very hard to find toaster ovens for only 2 slices these days. Most are for 4 to even 6 slices and can't fit on my counter. I bought this one because it fit BUT the height is SOOOO low that nothing but a thin piece of bread will cook in it without bursting into flames - a kaiser roll actually touches the top heating element. Needless to say, I sent this directly back as I really didn't want my house to burn down.
This might seem picky, but really it is called a "toaster oven" not just a "toaster" and I bought it to be able to make more than just toast, otherwise I'd just buy a toaster.

Black & Decker CTO4300W Perfect Broil Countertop Oven, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my first countertop oven. I've owned it for about 3 months and love it. So far I've used it to bake or broil muffins, potatoes, chicken legs, garlic bread, Totino's frozen pizza, enchilada casserole, pasta casserole.... not to mention toasted bread, bagels, and English muffins . This oven delivers.

The included drip pan/broil trays are only slightly thicker than disposable aluminum pans but are still useful for broiling. Good news is the size of this oven easily accommodates some of my smaller conventional bake ware such as an 8 X 8 inch Pyrex dish and a 6 cup muffin tin. I like the fact it has 4 heating elements, 2 top, 2 bottom which seems to promote more even heat distribution than the 2 element toaster I've used at the office. I like the 3 mechanical controls. One for temp, one to control the heating coils, and a countdown timer that actually turns the oven off when it dings. The control knobs have a solid feel. There is also a "stay warm" feature that works great for warming dinner plates. Yes, this oven will hold a stack of at least 4 dinner plates and will keep them warm while your regular oven cooks. I also like that the wire grill is offset to provide 4 different elevation levels by simply flipping it over and using either of the 2 side slides. The all glass door is easy to clean. So is the slide out crumb tray. The case gets hot so be sure to check the outside dimensions and give it at least an inch of side clearance. This unit is a little larger than most toaster ovens.
Does this countertop oven replace a conventional oven? Not exactly but it comes close. In a pinch, like a kitchen remodel, a small dorm room or other cramped quarters this oven is a great choice. You could bake, roast, broil, and toast for months using no other appliance. It most certainly replaces a regular oven for small oven jobs like baking two pot pies or 2 baked potatoes or a quick batch of 6 muffins from a mix. I have only used my regular oven twice since this oven arrived. I like having a second oven capacity in my small apartment kitchen. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Perfect as a second oven or as an energy-efficient alternative to turning on the full-size oven, this countertop appliance can toast up to four slices of bread at a time, as well as bake, broil, and keep food warm. Three user-friendly control knobs make it easy to select the function, adjust the temperature up to 450 degrees F, and set the time up to 60 minutes (or choose the "stay on" position). The timer knob also functions as the light-to-dark shade selector for toast, and it provides an audible signal to indicate when the time's up. Thanks to its large capacity, the oven can accommodate a family-size casserole, and because of its extra-deep curved interior, a 12-inch pizza fits with no problem. Even more, the countertop oven comes equipped with a 1500-watt quartz element for fast heating, and its Perfect Broil system maintains a consistent set temperature to help ensure excellent results. Other highlights include a power indicator light, a reversible chrome-plated slide rack, upper and lower rack slots, a glass door for easy viewing, and a removable crumb tray for quick cleanup. Accessories consist of a broil rack, a bake pan/drip tray, and a handy user manual with recipes. The countertop oven measures approximately 16-1/5 by 20 by 12-3/5 inches.

Hamilton Beach 31199R Countertop 1.1-Cubic-Foot Convection Oven with Rotisserie Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before buying this particular oven, I read as many product reviews as could be found. They were for a similar Hamilton Beach Oven but not this exact one. And many were quite negative. But it seemed to be just what I wanted. This would be my third countertop oven. The first one lasted over 25 years. The second one, only about 8 years. It arrived earlier than predicted, always a plus. I burned every single thing I put in it for the first week. Not the oven's fault. I'm laughing as I write this. It is so efficient and works so well and I forgot the times on the previous oven were due to it's "dying" process. So, didn't think to compensate for a "new" oven. Well, now I'm doing much better and things are marvelous from this little jewel. Cookies, main dishes, heating up sauces quickly, (I just moved, gave away my microwave and decided not to buy another), sandwiches, even toast from atisan breads are perfectly cooked. So all the burnt foods were obviously "operator error".
At first, I worried what oven ware would fit into it but no worries. I now have a very tall stack of things that will fit comfortably in this oven including several 12-inch glass baking dishes for pizza and cookies. I only had to buy cookie sheets as all the rest (bread pans, muffin tins, springform cake pan, angelfood cake pan, etc) all fit inside very nicely. And best of all, the really large and oversized items can be given away, taking up less storage space in a space-challenged apt.
I would buy this oven again and again. It's the best. Oh, yes, the "bell" rings at the completion of cooking times and I can hear it in the most distant places of this apt. We've had really hot weather this summer and I've so appreciated only having to heat the kitchen for very few minutes to cook meals then a very quick cool down afterwards. I've not even turned on the large stove/oven that is built in to this apt. And I don't plan to, either. This oven is all I need. Oh, yes, I've been using it since the end of July 2007 - slightly under a month and with daily usage.

For everything from cooking a 5-pound chicken to baking two 12-inch pizzas or a birthday cake, this extra-large 1.1-cubic-foot countertop oven makes it possible to cook whole meals without turning on the full-size oven. Three simple-to-use control knobs allow for setting the temperature; for choosing the function--broil, convection, bake, or rotisserie; and for turning the unit off or selecting the cook time or "continuous on". Its convection method continuously circulates heated air around food, resulting in even heating and 33-percent faster cooking times than a traditional oven. Or use the revolving rotisserie rack to cook meat to moist, tender perfection. Other highlights include a power indicator light, a see-through window for checking on food at a glance, a stay-cool handle, and an easy-to-clean design. Accessories include two oven racks, two baking pans, a broil rack, and a slide-out crumb/drip tray, as well as a rotisserie skewer and a rotisserie lifter. Not sure where to start? Hamilton Beach throws in a user manual with recipes for herb-rubbed chicken, baked potatoes, meat loaf, pumpkin cookies, muffins, and much more. Dishwasher-safe parts make cleanup a snap, and the stainless-steel front-panel design looks great in any kitchen. The countertop oven measures approximately 12-1/2 by 17-1/2 by 13-2/3 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

T-Fal Avante Elite 6 Slice Convection & Toaster Oven with Separate Warming Compartment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like the looks of this oven. I had a Cuisinart Convection Toaster Oven that I tossed after two years. Unlike the Cuisinart the T-Fal is easy to clean, it doesn't have an area by the glass-hinged door that is impossible to clean. The crumb tray is accessed from the front of the oven, not the back. Also the T-Fal shuts off when the time on the timer is done. The warming tray is great for warming hot dog buns while broiling hot dogs in the oven. The controls are straight forward and easy to use without having to read the manual. I'm looking forward to many years of good cooking with this oven. If I experience any problems I'll update this review.

Anolon Advanced Nonstick Bakeware 13-Inch Pizza Crisper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Highly recommend Anolon Cookware. Got a complete set for Christmas & just purchased this pizza pan to go with the set. Love the EASY CLEANUP. Definately the best Non-stick cookware I've ever had.

A pizza crisper is a pan with a perforated bottom designed to deliver as much heat as possible to the bottom crust. In addition to letting heat in to sear the bottom of the crust, the holes also allow steam to escape, preventing the dreaded soggy-crusted version of one of America's favorite foods. Use this pan for your home-made pizza dough or to reheat a store-bought pizza without the mess that may accompany cooking a frozen pizza directly on your oven rack. Heavy gauge construction resists warping. Comfortable silicone Anolon SureGrip handles provide a slip-free grasp.Dishwasher suitable and oven safe to 500°F/ 260°C. Lifetime Limited Warranty.

Cuisinart TOB-155 Toaster Oven, Stainless and Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My husband said he needed a toaster oven for his work so I told him to take ours and I'd buy a new one. (yay!) I went shopping all around town looking at different models... wasn't too impressed with what I saw. The few I DID like I came home to read horror reviews about on amazon. I finally found this one and I believe all the possitive reviews are right. This warms up quickly and toasts perfectly. It looks very nice and seems to be excellent quality. Its very easy to use and I LOVE the touch buttons and digital display. Within minutes of plugging it in I successfully toasted half a frozen bagel as an experiment/snack and it was toasted perfection!! The options are very handy and work great. For the Bagel I just pressed toast-defrost-bagel and selected the darkness setting. I realize now that my old toaster oven was drying food out and heated unevenly. I have also cooked a pizza in it and it was done quickly and evenly also. The only complaint is what was mentioned about having to be careful not to touch it when it's hot. The handle doesn't seem to get hot but just behind it on the metal it does. It is possible you could be burned that way, I did jerk my hand back once on casually opening the door(and I have small hands). That doesn't deter me from loving this toaster oven but I will be careful when it gets very hot. My husband wants to take this one to his work... I said no way! :) With Amazons good price and free shipping its well worth it!

Waring Pro WTO150 4-Slice Toaster Oven with Built-In 2-Slice Toaster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've done a ridiculous amount of research on toaster ovens, trying to find a better quality one that does not have a nonstick coating (which releases poisonous gas when heated) on the interior of the oven or on the bake pans. I was very happy to find that the Waring model is nonstick-free. (For those who care, the interior is aluminized steel.) I've had the toaster oven for only a week, but so far it works very well. It has a nice solid, industrial feel to it - nothing feels cheap. The dimensions are actually 19" wide,11" deep, 9" tall - the measurements given in the description are way wrong. My husband and I really like the separate toaster slots on top and use them all the time. The interior of the oven is roomy - enough to fit 4 or 5 baked potatoes or 4 slices of traditional-size bread or 2 slices of oversize sandwich bread. I've used it to bake potatoes, broil bacon, brown a chicken and make toast - everything came out fine. The only complaints I have are really just annoyances. First, you can't use the oven without setting the timer, which I guess is a safety feature, because when the timer goes off the power shuts off. But this means if you want to cook something for a couple hours you need to be on the ball and reset the timer to continue baking. I rarely use it for more than 30 minutes so this is not a real problem for me. Second, the rack and bake pans are a pretty tight fit and when I need to change their position it takes a few seconds to line them up right - once I do they go in smoothly. But I wonder if this will be more of a problem in the future when everything gets a bit sticky and warped. I guess I'm skeptical about toaster ovens after reading so many terrible reviews of different brands and models, but I'm happy so far. I hope this one lasts 15 years like my Black & Decker that just gave out.
5/6/10 Two months later, and we have a small problem. The toaster lever won't stay down anymore if the toast 'doneness' knob isn't turned on just before I try toasting (in other words, I can't just leave it on and set to the shade I want). I'll leave my 4-star rating for now, because it has worked consistently if I start from the off position, then turn the knob on, then toast. But I didn't need to do this before. The oven still works fine and I've had no trouble with slowness, as reported by others. If a cookie recipe says 350 for 9 minutes, that's how long it takes with this oven.

Perfect as a second oven or as an energy-efficient alternative to turning on the full-size oven, this countertop appliance offers a large 0.45-cubic-foot capacity that can accommodate up to four slices of bread at a time. Its user-friendly control panel consists of three knobs. The top knob controls the function--choose from bake, broil, or toast; the middle knob adjusts the temperature up to 450 degrees F; and the bottom knob allows for setting the timer up to 30 minutes, as well as selecting the shade setting when toasting bread. Best of all, the toaster oven features a built-in two-slice toaster, which makes it possible to bake, broil, or toast in the oven while simultaneously toasting bagels, bread, English muffins, frozen waffles, and other favorites in the toaster. The toaster offers a simple lowering lever, its own light to dark shade settings with a "cancel" option, and a "bagel" button for warming the outside while toasting the cut side of bagels. Other highlights include 1500 watts of power, an "on" indicator light, a see-through oven door to monitor the cooking progress, and brushed stainless-steel housing for an attractive addition to any kitchen counter. A broiling pan and drip tray come included. The toaster oven and toaster measures approximately 13-1/5 by 30-1/5 by 9 inches.

Cuisinart TOB-195 Exact Heat Toaster Oven Broiler, Stainless Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Cuisinart TOB-195 costs a little more than most toaster ovens but it is such a joy to use. Some of the things I like about it:
1. Size. You can fit a 12" pizza in it.
2. Controls below the door. It saves a lot of countertop space.
3. Alarm to let you know when the oven is at the right temperature.
4. Digital temperature setting so you don't have to guess at it.
5. Convection oven feature.
6. Non-stick walls for easy clean-up.
The Cuisinart takes only a few minutes to warm up to the proper temperature, unlike a regular oven which can take several minutes. Pizzas crisp up nicely and my favorite banana bread recipe baked perfectly. I expect to use my Cuisinart more often than my regular oven, except for times when company is over.
I relied on reviews of the previous model, the TOB-175, before purchasing the TOB-195 and must say that Cuisinart has continued their great tradition of creating wonderful kitchen electrics.
