Pulled it off with this purchase of a Euro-Pro. Purchased at Target for $54.00 at about half of a comparable "higher end" machine. This more than does the job and at this price and free shipping, I would not hesitate. 33 of 34 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Euro-Pro TO283 Convection Toaster Oven,Stainless Steel (Kitchen) I, too, was looking to replace a Delonghi that caught fire. Toaster ovens have a life-expectancy of 1-2 years in my house-- maybe because I use them for almost everything. But I bought this one in response to the reviews on this page and find myself hoping it has a shorter life than my previous ones.
Maybe I don't know how to maximize the potential of the convection thing. But I've read the directions and have been experimenting, and I can't get this oven to do the things I've relied on all these years-- even simple things like TOAST and BROIL. My bagels come out COOKED, my toast brick-hard, but neither actually browned enough on the outside. It seems to mostly serve to dry things out. And it actually takes longer than my other ovens did, even at the reccommended maximum heat, though I've found that lower heat works slightly better. I've tried all the settings, even the "grill" that doesn't use convection, on breads and meats (fake meats, I'm veggie)...Read more 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful: By Gary (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Euro-Pro TO283 Convection Toaster Oven,Stainless Steel (Kitchen) We recently purchased this as a replacement for the old toaster oven in our very small apartment kitchen. It was a great value and works as well as something that you could pay two to three times its price. Meats come out wonderfully, it is easy to clean, the timer is a great option. |
