Default Toaster broiler oven with convection - best counter top model?

Looking for help with buying a counter top oven toaster. Looked at
Cuisinart, but some of the reviews mentioned glass door exploding, another
brand mentioned very hot handle which burns if you don't open the door in a
particular way. Another mentioned oven unit remained hot even after it being
turned off. Would just like a good well-made model for toasting bagels,
toast, pastries .. and maybe bake an 8" pie sometimes. Thought to ask here
after reading reviews from customers who bought their units online.
Appreciate some help.

Even though it's much cheaper than the competition,
I don't recommend the Toastmaster convection toaster
oven. It's a piece of junk. It claims to also be
a dehydrator, but if you try to buy the dehydrator
racks (which are not included), they're out-of-stock.
If you bake anything that produces moisture, the
digital display fogs up. If you use the convection
feature, the fan dies after maybe a year of use.

Not surprisingly, I haven't tried every unit on the market, so I can't
say that mine is the best, but I am very happy with my Black & Decker
toaster oven, broiler, and convection oven. It cooks things nicely in
the broiler and convection modes and it works great as a toaster. Mine
is about two years old so I don't know if Black & Decker still makes
them, but I would be surprised if they don't.

I also have a Black & Decker. Works great in all modes. Amazon had
them on sale recently, I think.

I have a krupps that i purchased 3 years ago. at the time the cost
was $169.99. a bit pricey, but it works beautifully for methe selling
point was the convection oven. great to use in the summer. i've even
baked pans of rolls init.

Hit send too soon. If you look below each listing it says "used
and new from..." If you click on that
link you can find even cheaper deals. Some have 'warehouse' sale
prices meaning the box was opened but the
product is undamaged. Those are the deals I look for.

Ok, I have yet to check these models. I just don't want to end up with a
unit that has those faults I mentioned earlier, or have trays that warp when
heated. Going to read up more on the ones you all mentioned (except for the
Toastmaster) in a minute or two. Thank you very much all for your input.

About a year ago or so, I purchased a Krups convection toaster oven
(sorry, cannot easily find its model number at this time). It's worked
very well for Spouse and me, and it's used several times daily. What's
especially nice is there are three heating elements, both top and bottom
of the unit. It's just large enough to handle a 12" pizza. Nearly any
toaster oven will be hot after its use, until it has had time to cool
down. I believe this particular Krups model is no longer made, but I
imagine Krups still makes similar units. IIRC, this one cost about $160
on the price-tag when it was purchased (from BB&B with 20%-off coupon).
We're very happy with this toaster oven.

Squertz, is yours the convection model? I've never had a problem
like that.

Before I purchased the Krups toaster oven I mentioned in another
response to this thread, I tried a Delohghi convection (with rotisserie)
model. There was a problem with this Delonghi model in that the
interior rack did not have full-slots along the sides of the entire
depth of the oven, so the rack would tilt downwards when it was pulled
out to remove a baking container. Someone else from RFC had noticed
this fault with the rack supports. I returned the Delonghi and
purchased the more expensive Krups instead. It was definitely worth the
upgrade, IMO.

It's ok, no problem. You're most helpful with the link. Going through the
lists .. reviews are helpful but I look more for common pluses or minuses
for each product. Price is not a problem as long as the product poses no
hazard, burns, fire, etc and the parts (glass parts, trays etc) are well
made to withstand the unit's heat.

I'm satisfied with a Cuisinart model TOB-30BWC, "Cuisinart
Classic Toaster Oven Broiler"; this model or its successors
should cost no more than about $70.

The shelves do slightly tilt if you slide them more than
half-way out, but only by 5 or 10 degrees, they do not
completely tilt forward.

It is not a convection. (Why would one want convection?)

I have the Cuisinart and have no problems with it. It is probably the
best toaster oven I have ever owned. If my DH, the world's greatest
kitchen klutz, can manage to use it without injury or complaint, I think
it's a pretty safe unit.

I purchased my Cuisinart online. Most probably from Cutlery.com, but go
to nextag.com and put in the unit you want and you'll get price comparisons.

The little fan does make things cook a little faster. I like it.

FYI: Delonghi (not convection) was by far the biggest piece of cr*p
I've ever had the misfortune to own. It died at less than two years
old.

I do not think the table top monstrosities people call "toaster ovens"
are worth the counter space they take up. So, unless it's a two slice
toaster oven - use your regular oven. Regular ovens do not heat up
the kitchen and you never have to think about getting yourself or
anything else too close to it.

Where do you have your oven in your kitchen? If it is under the
counter in a corner in a more confined space I could
see where it might overheat and cause the safety cut off to activate.
Even the most expensive counter tops generate
quite a bit of heat and if they are in a confined space they problem
you are having might show up.

I have that Delonghi model, don't like it at all. Yes, the racks tilt
and if you are not careful your food will go flying. The rotisserie is
too close to the top element so it's worthless. It only toasts the top
of the bread so you have to turn the bread over in order to get both
sides toasted, and forget about broiling in.
I'm in the market for a new one also so I'm reading this thread with
great interest. I'll have to wait until next month though, my new
camera lens has me eating beans and rice 'till the end of the month
;-)

I got this one over a year ago and it's really worked out well. I like the
style and it only gets hot on top, not the back or sides.

That was a great price. Too bad it was a clearance price.

I agree. Burning the tops of one's fingers is one risks of
toaster ovenry.

Another is parchment paper catching fire if it touches the
top element... I found this one out recently.

Totally unrelated, I got back from the farmers market to
discover three baby gem romaine lettuces I bought were
not in my pack. Damn! I guess these things happen.

Steve, you're right about the burning, especially oneself .. happens sooner
or later, sometime or another, no matter if one knows the hazards, be an
experienced cook or not.

So sorry to hear about your leaving your precious purchases behind.

I have an Oster toaster/convection oven I bought at Target about 3
years ago. $49.99 plus tax and occasionally they have them on sale.
I'm very pleased with it, does the job it's supposed to do, no
problems and the temperature gauge seems to be right on the mark. It
was $50+ well spent and I would buy this brand again and it does
accomodate small pizzas.

Default Toaster broiler oven with convection - best counter top model?

I would give the .Cooks-Essentials-6Slice-Stainless-Steel-Con
vection-Oven a try but nowhere online is it available. It's really
surprising that with all the technology it's so difficult to find a good
reliable normal everyday kitchen appliance such as this that doesn't
explode, catches fire, parts melting, burn and noxious fumes hazards,
inferior parts etc .. the more I read of the different models within the
specs I'm looking for, the more I add to my list of criteria. However, I've
finally worked down to the Breville BOV650 Compact Smart Oven, the other
Breville model is larger than I need.

I can't seem to be able to do the 'Reply to Sender and Newsgroup'. Only can
do 'Reply to Newsgroup'. Is there a way to do the quote elsewhere? Thanks
for the heads up.

I can "reply group", as this, or "reply ," which goes only to the sender.
If the sender has the ID hidden the latter does not work. My ID is
hidden as I am a shy retiring type. I have no option to reply to
the group and separately to the sender. These things vary depending
on the newsreader and the computer and the phlogiston circulating.

I sent a copy of the above to you on the "reply" button, it was returned
as "unknown and undeliverable." Just FYI

I guess it depends on the newsreader program. Mine has an auto configuration
for algorithmns or whatever they do. I'm not changing anything there if
things work so far for most of the stuff .. but I do appreciate guidelines
or instructions from people who can/like to instruct.
Sorry if I can't get the quote other than now I'm pasting the contents of
your last thread to reply. Thanks for the heads up regarding your 'reply to'
(me) as being undeliverable.
Have a good day.

That's exactly like the one I got at Target for $50 but mine is a
gorgeous red. It does a great job.

Me too. I was looking to upgrade to a larger toaster oven as I have a
small kitchenette and no real oven. My small one was too small for a
typical brownie pan. My parents had an Oster that I really liked, and
I happened to find the same model at a yard sale. I've had it about a
year now, and I love it.It's big enough for anything I want to cook.
It heats up fast. The display is nice.
