6 Slice Toaster Oven

 (11 customer reviews)

You'll still need a toaster with this unit. Bought this at my local Costco for about $57 to replace my small toaster oven with one that was a little larger to accommodate larger dinner items in addition to doing toast. It's great as a small oven but REALLY terrible at making toast. Doing toast is bad with this unit because of the timer. It's just not accurate nor sensitive enough to make adjustments to browning. The timer is an old mechanical tic-toc, spring variety and can be set up to 1hr. To make toast, you turn the timer to 20 minutes first, then dial it back to the lowest "Toast" settings, but the first click is about 6 minutes, which will burn your toast at the full toast temperature. In addition, the minimum setting is easily overshot when you're in a hurry to get to work in the morning.

Being a gourmet cook, I have professional appliances. While I love my GE Profile Microwave/Convection oven for most things, it is very convenient having another smaller convection oven in the kitchen for smaller items. This oven bakes cakes beautifully, and does cooks meat quickly, browning the outside while keeping the inside moist. Most people are not familiar with convection cooking, but the hot air is moved around the interior of the oven for a more uniform heat, and baking times are often slightly reduced. As far as being a toaster, I have to say, you just raise the wire shelf to the top position, place the toaster on medium, and you are guaranteed a quick response. I also have a fancier Oster convection toaster oven with electronic controls, and that one does not toast well, and takes forever to complete. If you are looking for a real workhorse of a toaster oven at a great price...with of course NO FRILLS this is the puppy for you!

I just bought this oven at Costco for [...].
I have not had a problem with the toaster feature. I set it between the two toaster settings and toast comes out just right.
I have had to adjust baking time and tempatures because of the convection feature. Otherwise I would have geven this 4 stars.
I like the fact that the crumb tray is easy to remove for cleaning.
