Kalorik 1500-Watt 4-Slice Toaster Oven

Product Review

With its spacious 15-liter capacity, this convenient toaster oven makes it easy to keep up with the demands of any busy household. Its user-friendly control panel offers three dials for setting the heat, time, and function. The oven's temperature can be adjusted up to 450 degrees F, and its 30-minute timer shuts the unit off automatically after the elapsed time or can be set to the "stay-on" position. Use the toaster oven for anything from toasting up to four slices of bread at breakfast time to broiling a chicken, baking a casserole, or even a 9-inch pizza for dinner. Other highlights include toast-shade control from light to dark, a stainless-steel control panel and heating elements, black painted housing, a nonstick interior, an "on" indicator light, and a heat-resistant glass door for viewing the cooking process at a glance. Accessories include a broiling pan, broiling rack, a wire rack, and a slide-out crumb tray. The 1500-watt toaster oven measures 15-3/4 by 12 by 9-1/4 inches.

I bought the Kalorik 31513 to get some counter top broiling/toasting and baking capabilites without taking up a lot of counter space. I have a perfectly good dual oven range with a gas broiler for doing large items, but I wanted this for toasting the occasional sandwich or making myself a hot lunch. It performs those functions just fine and is big enough inside without being huge outside.

It does not have the "pizza bump" in the back. Something I was looking to avoid.

The controls are straight forward and are easy to understand and use. It is not highly automated, which is fine because it doesn't get in the way of you setting it to do exactly what you want it to do. The bottom knob is for "stay on" or timer mode. The middle knob selects top elements only; bottom elements only; or both. The third knob controls the temperature setting. All E-Z and straighforward.

Now the not-so-impressive parts:
The temp in the oven is not very accurate to the...Read more

This review is from: Kalorik 1500-Watt 4-Slice Toaster Oven (Kitchen)

I have had this toaster oven for 6 weeks and used it almost daily for baking and toasting bread.

PROS:
It is the size I needed for my kitchen. I live alone and hate to heat the "big" oven for just a couple of frozen biscuits or baking a chicken breast.
The outside top and sides of the oven do not get hot (see CONS).
Toasting bread is one of the things that is least offensive about the product.

CONS:
It does not get anywhere near temperature - even after pre-heating at 450 degrees for 20 minutes.
All cooking must be done at 450 to get anything baked.
Fifteen or twenty minutes must then be added to the cooking time to get anything that was frozen (biscuits or fish/chicken filets) to cook properly.
Baked items will burn on the underside if the rack is on the bottom level.
The hinge on the door does not work properly, therefore the glass door must be propped shut (this occurred one month of operation).
The included baking...Read more

After not being able to cook food right.
Put a thermometer in the oven to check settings.
Found the oven temp slowly swung up and down 150 degrees over and above the setting.
No matter what it was set at.
