Toaster Ovens

Posts Tagged ‘Toaster Ovens’

I’ve owned a few toaster ovens over the years and this is a very well designed and just all around great toaster oven. Plenty of room and I like how it’s easy to use, easy to set time and temperature. Heats up quickly and I like the dual, upper/lower heating method.

The default settings make it easy to get started. The toast feature makes it easy to either quickly make toast or just warm up frozen waffles. I use the default 4 for toast, 3 for frozen waffles, and 1 or 2 to warm up a biscuit or two. No more fumbling around with a dial to try and get it in between markings…

It has a longer than usual 90 minute timer and it shuts off automatically when it’s done with five chimes, just great. Looks great too!

I GOT THIS TOASTER OVEN LAST WEEK AND SO FAR I AM PLEASED. I DO, HOWEVER, HAVE A FEW NEGATIVE COMMENTS. FIRST THE LACK OF A CLOCK. WHEN THE UNIT IS PLUGGED IN AND NOT BEING USED IT READS ZEROES WHERE A CLOCK SHOULD BE. I JUST UNPLUG MINE BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO SEE THE ZEROES BUT A CLOCK WOULD BE A BIG IMPROVEMENT. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO HAVE A PREHEAT FEATURE. I HAD A MUCH SMALLER TOASTER OVEN BEFORE I GOT THIS ONE SO IT HEATED TO THE DESIRED TEMP VERY QUICKLY. WITH THIS OVEN AND IT’S MUCH BIGGER INTERIOR, I AM USING IT FOR THINGS I ALWAYS USED MY REGULAR OVEN FOR IN THE PAST. IT TAKES 10-15 MINUTES TO PREHEAT AND 10-15 MINUTES LONGER TO DO THE ACTUAL COOKING/BAKING SO YOU HAVE TO ADD ALL THIS EXTRA TIME WHEN YOU’RE SETTING THE TIMER—-KIND OF A PAIN. I HAVEN’T USED THE WARMER YET BUT I’M SURE IT WILL COME IN HANDY. ONE THING I DID DO WAS BUY AN OVEN LINER. [...] CARRIES ONE SPECIFICALLY FOR TOASTER OVENS BUT I BOUGHT ONE FOR A STANDARD OVEN AND CUT IT TO FIT THE CRUMB TRAY, THE BOTTOM OF THE WARMING COMPARTMENT AND THE WARMING TRAY. THIS SHOULD KEEP THE INTERIOR CLEANER LONGER. HOPE MY REVIEW IS HELPFUL.

I have been looking for a new toaster oven for a long time now. I spent hours, on various sites including Amazon, reading reviews. I don’t recall this toaster oven (pictured above - Oster with brushed stainless steel and manual knobs) on Amazon at the time I looked and could not find one I liked. I ended up finding this one at Target for about $50.00 on sale. I took a chance and bought it. What a deal. I have used toaster ovens for the last 15 years (I don’t own a microwave) and this one is my favorite. It is not too big and not too small. A pizza does fit. Many of my regular baking pans fit. The confection feature makes things heat faster. The best part is that it does not get crazy hot like some reviews on other toaster ovens mentions. IT DOES GET VERY VERY HOT, but all toaster ovens do, as far as I know. But this one is not going to melt your painted cabinets - and mine are somewhat close to the oven. I am very happy and think it is a good buy. Note: I don’t use it for toast.

I have had this product for perhaps a year. It is not equipped with an off/on switch, only a dial timer. This timer has now broken - what a waste of my money.

The product description says “spacious” and that is just NOT true at all. The interior is very small. Can only use one rack at a time. Not worth the price at all. Can get a much bigger one for this price of $99.

I bought it on sale for $41.50 and while it looks good on the outside, the inside is way too small for my needs. I do not see how it is possible to get 6 slices of bread in there unless you would totally overlap all of them. Interior width (left to right) is about 11 inches, wall to wall. Depth (front to back) is about 9 inches. You have about 3 inches (top to bottom- plus you have to consider the heating coils on top take away from this measurement, decreasing cooking space) of space to actually use for your baking pan or tray with food on it, on the rack. The wording on the knobs and buttons on my unit were crooked. The instruction/recipe booklet is a total joke. There are no diagrams/pictures as to how to insert the trays and pans. There is 1 picture of the unit, so if you are unfamilar with toaster ovens, you would be lost. I have looked at many online and many instore, but have never owned one. While it may not seem like it would be hard to figure out how to insert the trays and pans, it is. There is the crumb tray, the drip pan, the baking tray and the rack. The only way I can figure out how to use the drip pan is to lay it directly onto the heating coils. To me, that doesn’t sound right, but it is the only way it fits in there. And if you use that, you lose space for cooking. If you use the drip pan, then the rack sits crooked inside. You have to use the rack to use the bake pan. The rack sits crookedly or slanted no matter what, even if you only insert the rack, it is crooked. You can, of course, put the drip pan in the bake pan on the rack, which is maybe how you are supposed to do it. The instructions for use are lacking. This is just so totally not worth the price at all. For this price you can get the 3 tray counter top rotisserie/convection oven, which is what I originally wanted. The description leads you to believe you could bake a pie in here. Guess again. Not gonna happen. Unless it is a tiny pie and it had better not rise or you will be scraping off the roof of the interior. This was a bad purchase all the way around. I think the $99 price tag is grossly ridiculous for this thing. If you want to use it to make 2 slices of toast, and don’t mind paying $99 to do so, then this is for you. If you have hopes of doing ANYTHING else, buy something else.

EDIT: Ok, I took a minute to go check, to be fair, and you can get 4 slices of bread in there if you squish them all into the bake pan that the unit comes with. No way in heck that you are getting 6 slices in there unless you put 2 slices on top of each other and then it will touch the top of the oven. And I used regular bread, nothing fancy or oversized. This thing is a mess and the product description is NOT accurate at all!

This purchase was very disappointing to me. I have been wanting a toaster oven for so long. I had my heart set on a particular one, but have been waiting on a sale. I decided to buy this one thinking I would use it til I got the one I wanted, eventually. I can’t fathom keeping this even for the interim.

I am gonna upload pics, they might not be so good as I am using a 2mp cell phone cam. I don’t think they show the crooked wording well or the slanted baking rack.

I hope this review helps someone in one way or another.

Needless to say, this thing is goin back.

I’ve had toaster ovens for years and was never pleased with the job they did baking. This one is great! Toast comes out perfect as I’d expect but I can pop in biscuits or any other small thing and it bakes them great! No more heating up a big oven for one or two small things.

I did have one problem. The first one i recived freaked out on me and had to be unplugged to be turned off during toasting twice. Macyes sent out a replacement ASAP and there have been no problems with the second one (stuff happens).

I was a little worried about getting a “low end” appliance like this, but it does everything I need to. Keep in mind that I’m no chef, but this thing works great, in my opinion. Cooks frozen meals, heats things up, does toast, etc.

If you’re serious about cooking, this probably wouldn’t work for you. Works for a “bachelor pad” application though, which is why I use it for.

KitchenAid Countertop Oven - Black I’m not too experienced with toaster ovens, but this one is very attractive and seems to work fine. I haven’t yet gotten the knack of making toast in it (which I assumed would be the simplest thing), but it seems to work best when pre-heated for all uses - even toast. It heats up pretty quickly and does a good job with small items like side dishes. If you don’t preheat, though, whatever you’re trying to cook will just dry out during the heating process.

I’ve owned a few toaster ovens over the years and this is a very well designed and just all around great toaster oven. Plenty of room and I like how it’s easy to use, easy to set time and temperature. Heats up quickly and I like the dual, upper/lower heating method.

The default settings make it easy to get started. The toast feature makes it easy to either quickly make toast or just warm up frozen waffles. I use the default 4 for toast, 3 for frozen waffles, and 1 or 2 to warm up a biscuit or two. No more fumbling around with a dial to try and get it in between markings…

It has a longer than usual 90 minute timer and it shuts off automatically when it’s done with five chimes, just great. Looks great too!
