This review is from: Black & Decker CTO4300W Perfect Broil Countertop Oven, White (Kitchen) 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...Read more 37 of 39 people found the following review helpful: By Lizardspeaks (seattle, wa) - See all my reviews This review is from: Black & Decker CTO4300W Perfect Broil Countertop Oven, White (Kitchen) I just bought this toaster oven. My waffles and bread are toasted pretty evenly. A small drawback is that the timer knob is supposed to be turned to twenty and then to the desired time. It's attractive and I do love that four slices of bread or waffles fit easily. It makes feeding kids quicker in the morning. So far, I would recommend this product. 31 of 32 people found the following review helpful: By Taylor's Mom "J." (Virginia) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Black & Decker CTO4300W Perfect Broil Countertop Oven, White (Kitchen) I am pretty happy with the toaster oven. It bakes perfectly. I haven't cooked a pizza in it, but I have reheated one and it heated through as if it just cam from the pizzeria. Toasting is a little less than perfect, it takes a VERY long time. There are a couple of things that could have been done better.
*The knobs are hard to turn, unless you have a strong grip with your fingertips, you have to use your whole hand to turn the knobs. They could have made that a little easier. *When it's time to toast or bake, you have to set all three knobs, kinda tedious. *To toast, you have to turn the knob to 20, then turn it back to 10 for toasting, it seems like they could have figured out something better. Overall, decent toaster for the price. If this toaster was any more expensive, I would have rated it much worse. |
