Cuisinart BRK-200 Brick Oven Deluxe, Stainless Steel Review

Cuisinart BRK-200 Brick Oven Deluxe, Stainless Steel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this beautiful toaster/convection oven to use as a second oven for entertaining/holidays and for everyday use to cook for just the two of us.
First of all, it's darned beautiful to look at. It matches my stainless appliances and looks fabulous on my counter. The controls are very easy to use. It comes with 2 racks (although you're only supposed to use one at a time) and a baking pan/broiler tray. But the best thing is that it comes with a baking stone which sits in one of the racks and the oven itself is lined with baking stone material on either side. The back of the oven has the convection fan. All non-stone surfaces are of nonstick material, which makes it a cinch to clean.
In the month I've had it, I've used this amazing appliance to bake cakes and casseroles, broil shrimp, make pizza, roast tomatoes and chickens and even toast an english muffin! It passed every test with flying colors. The oven is large enough to fit a whole chicken for roasting - and did a great job.
I'd say the weak points are that you have to turn the oven around to get the crumb tray out (a minor inconvenience) and both the crumb tray and the baking pan tend to warp when the oven is hot.
To use the baking stone, you must preheat the oven for at least 30 minutes. Not a problem for me, as I preheated while waiting for my pizza dough to rise. Worked out great.
I'm delighted to give this my highest recommendation.

Black & Decker 6-Slice Countertop Toast-R-Ovens Review

Black and Decker 6-Slice Countertop Toast-R-Ovens
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've owned this B&D for about 5 months now and I'm extremely pleased. A big issue for most of the other reviewers seems to revolve around the toaster timer and that may well be. Maybe they are used to using the same type of bread every day and figuring out the right setting of a toaster and then never having to change it, but I don't toast that often and whenever I have I always watch it to see when it gets to the right color then I turn it off. The good news related to toasting - it evenly colors both sides, so my toast is better than ever!
But more often I use it for heating little frozen pizza's and other frozen foods which do much better in an oven than in a microwave, and this does GREAT at that, better than my GE Profile gas oven. I find that things are done in the exact time specified in the instructions, and with my GE oven I have to set it hotter than the instructions, and run it 5 - 10 minutes longer than the directions call for. And its hot and ready to cook in a minute or two vs. 5 or more for the GE.
I haven't had any problem with the door, seems to work fine to me, and I'm aware of heat issues with toasters so I keep a little space around it which I think would be a good rule for any one purchased.

With 1500 watts of power, this versatile countertop oven/broiler can toast up to six slices of bread at a time, as well as bake, broil, and reheat a variety of foods quickly and easily.

The oven features two rack positions and can accommodate a 12-inch pizza. Other highlights include a see-through door for checking on food at a glance, a generous stay-cool door handle, and a sleek design that will nicely accommodate any kitchen decor.

Toasts and bakes well. I just toasted an english muffin and it came out fine. (didn't understand review about not toasting). Makes nice, crispy (not burnt) waffles. Oven gets hot fast (less pre-heat time). Compact size (I live in an apartment so that's important). I gave it only 4 stars because it's not too attractive. But, it works well!

We wanted a compact toaster oven that could toast & cook.... not 12" pizza's, not broil chicken; rather cook fish sticks (and the like) and toast bread- and this product fits the bill. Not terribly fancy, but for the price it is exactly what we were looking for.

Emerson Toaster Oven Review

I purchased this product and think it is great!. We had a delonghi toaster for a short while, and it never failed to burn toast , bagels or anything else we put in it. It could never regulate the temperature. Would NEVER buy another Delonghi product. This product toasts evenly and perfect, bakes to perfection and rotisseries a small chicken or game hen evenly. .It has a little handle pull for the racks and trays which make removing a pizza or larger items easy, and a full size bottom crumb rack . The rotisserie attachment is easy to insert or remove. Makes toast in a reasonable amount of time. The best part is: it is self-cleaning. I'm happy with it.

Euro-Pro TO251 Convection 6-Slice Toaster Oven with Pizza Pan Review

Euro-Pro TO251 Convection 6-Slice Toaster Oven with Pizza Pan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
[Update July 10, 2010: Rating downgraded to 3 stars and sinking: broken under warranty. Using their customer service webpage kicks back an email saying to email them, and then emailing them got an email couple of days later to call their 800 number. Haven't had a moment to call them yet but will report back.
As much as I like this thing, the controls have quit functioning, after only 7 months of use (initially stuck on high Grill, then wouldn't turn on). And, for those of us who do not live close to Toronto, warranty service is next to useless, because it costs $37.50 for me to mail it from my location internationally to Toronto, plus $9.95 that they request for return shipping and handling, plus the uncertainty that they will actually repair/replace the thing "if it is found ... to be defective in material or workmanship". I contacted customer service for a better solution (e.g. send me some replacement knob modules), but I don't know if that is possible or feasible -- stay tuned for updates. For the moment I am lowering my rating of this toaster to 3 stars because this is too soon to break, but I really like using it and want to give their customer service a chance, though they haven't yet bothered to respond to me (On June 26 I used their website contact page, and on June 30 I sent them email; and I have been checking my spam folder). I hope we can work out a more reasonable way to repair it. For the moment I've moved my old kenmore back into the kitchen -- it has lasted several years and counting, and was replaced only for cosmetic reasons.]
Original review (4 stars):
I bought this from Sears to replace my dirty ugly (but functional) old Kenmore toaster oven. I am pretty happy with it, but there are a few things about it that are not perfect.
I think this toaster oven is the same as many others out there. If you are shopping for toaster ovens, you will see that there are lots of different models and brands offering pretty much the same configuration of controls and features as this one. I suspect that they are all made in the same factory and just have different body styles and name brands slapped on to them.
Anyway, here are some of the features that I like about it:
- It has a "Stay On" setting, so if I am baking something that will take more than 60 minutes I don't have to keep turning up the timer to keep the oven on.
- It offers different cooking combinations of top heat, bottom heat, both, convection on and off.
- It has a bulge in the back ("pizza bump") so that I can put a 12 inch diameter pizza pan in it (one was in the box, but I prefer a pizza screen). Not counting the bulge, the interior is about 9" x 12". It is 4.75 inches from the rack in lowest position to the top heating elements.
- It came with a second rack so I can heat things on two racks at the same time if I want to.
- The stainless steel body means that I can scrub the body without having to worry about removing color (and it looks good)
A few flaws that made me contemplate returning it:
- The outside gets hotter than my older (Kenmore) toaster oven. I put a grill thermometer on the top, when baking at full temp, the top surface reaches 220, about 20 degrees warmer than my old Kenmore. I looked and there appears to be an air gap between the roof of the oven and the outside top surface, but I could not tell if there is any insulation in there. But that means it gets the kitchen hotter, and it provides a hotter warming shelf (plates now get too hot if left too long). [I have moved my ugly old toaster oven out to my patio, and if it is too hot to bake inside, I will bake out there instead.]
- The temperature dial goes down to 150 degrees, but when I have tested it with various cooking modes, the actual oven temperature didn't go lower than 200 in one cooking mode, and 180 in another one. I had been hoping to use this for things like slow roasting and food drying, but that is too hot.
- At the corners of the glass door, there are little cushions that probably protect the glass door from shock, but they also prevent the glass door from closing the whole way, so there is a gap of about 2.5mm to let the heat out (using more electricity and making the kitchen hotter). I haven't decided if this is a feature (perhaps it was felt that some air flow was needed) or a bug.
- If you pull the rack out more than one inch, the back is no longer supported so the back of the rack falls down, and what you are baking slides down to the back. This is a real design flaw, but I have just gotten used to the annoyance and hardly pull the rack out now.
However, in spite of these flaws, I find that I am really happy with the purchase and have enjoyed using its many functions.
Also, note that the ridiculously huge dimensions given in the Amazon listing (at the time of this writing) are the size of the box, not the toaster oven itself. The toaster oven is 17.75 wide x 10.25 tall x 13.5 deep, not counting little bumpers which stick out of the side and back about a half inch to prevent it being pushed too close to walls.

Perfect as a second oven or as an energy-efficient alternative to turning on the full-size oven, this countertop appliance offers an extra-large 3/5-cubic-foot capacity and can toast up to six slices of bread at a time. The toaster oven provides three user-friendly control knobs for selecting the function, temperature, and time. Choose from keep warm, broil, bake, toast, or grill--its convection heating delivers fast, even cooking with no hot spots. In addition, the toaster oven's full-range temperature-control knob can be set from 150 to 450 degrees F, while its 60-minute timer offers a variety of toast settings, a "stay on" function, and automatic shut-off with a "ready" signal. Use the handy appliance for anything from breakfast toast and English muffins to appetizers and side dishes. It can even accommodate a 12-inch pizza. Accessories include two wire racks, one bake pan, a pan/rack remover, a pizza pan, and an easy-to-empty pull-out crumb tray for quick cleanup. With its brushed stainless-steel exterior, the attractive 1380-watt convection toaster oven measures approximately 21 by 15-4/5 by 11-4/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Cuisinart TOB-195 Exact Heat Toaster Oven Broiler, Stainless Review

Cuisinart TOB-195 Exact Heat Toaster Oven Broiler, Stainless
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Cuisinart TOB-195 costs a little more than most toaster ovens but it is such a joy to use. Some of the things I like about it:
1. Size. You can fit a 12" pizza in it.
2. Controls below the door. It saves a lot of countertop space.
3. Alarm to let you know when the oven is at the right temperature.
4. Digital temperature setting so you don't have to guess at it.
5. Convection oven feature.
6. Non-stick walls for easy clean-up.
The Cuisinart takes only a few minutes to warm up to the proper temperature, unlike a regular oven which can take several minutes. Pizzas crisp up nicely and my favorite banana bread recipe baked perfectly. I expect to use my Cuisinart more often than my regular oven, except for times when company is over.
I relied on reviews of the previous model, the TOB-175, before purchasing the TOB-195 and must say that Cuisinart has continued their great tradition of creating wonderful kitchen electrics.

Sanyo SK-7W Space Saving Toaster Oven, White Review

Sanyo SK-7W Space Saving Toaster Oven, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had this model for nearly two years now. It takes nearly twice as long to toast bread as a normal toaster, because it has energy saving quartz elements, which don't heat up as quickly. Since there is no temperature control, there is only one setting - really hot.
This could ruin your day if you just want to reheat something through, so here's a piece of advice: for things like frozen pies, pizza and reheating rolls, put them on the top shelf and turn the heating element knob to Bottom Rack. That way you don't char the surface while the interior stays cold.
The 'Bagel Best' setting is great for people who, like Sting, like their toast (or bagels) done on one side. It's a nifty feature, but the bottom line is that this toaster oven is limited to toasting and heating only certain kinds of foods. I would recommend it for people who want just a very basic toaster oven.
I want more versatility in a toaster oven these days, so I am shopping for a new one.

The oven selector allows you to use just the top rack, just the bottom rack, or both. It even has a Bagel Best option which activates just the middle heating element - and that means your cut side gets toasted while the exterior gets warm. With all these options you can bake, toast, and reheat or warm foods. The time also has a Bagel Best option, as well as timing for up to 15 minutes. Unlike toasters this unit can accommodate really thick breads and pastries, yet its small footprint won't take up more space than a toaster.

Don't be frustrated by the too-small slots in a regular toaster. Hamilton Beach 22201 2 Slice Extra-Wide Slot Toaster has 2 extra-wide slots that hold large-size bread or bagels. Its slide-out crumb tray makes this toaster easy to clean. If you see your toast start to burn, you can always press the cancel button.

My husband said he needed a toaster oven for his work so I told him to take ours and I'd buy a new one. (yay!) I went shopping all around town looking at different models... wasn't too impressed with what I saw. The few I DID like I came home to read horror reviews about on amazon. I finally found this one and I believe all the possitive reviews are right. This warms up quickly and toasts perfectly. It looks very nice and seems to be excellent quality. Its very easy to use and I LOVE the touch buttons and digital display. Within minutes of plugging it in I successfully toasted half a frozen bagel as an experiment/snack and it was toasted perfection!! The options are very handy and work great. For the Bagel I just pressed toast-defrost-bagel and selected the darkness setting. I realize now that my old toaster oven was drying food out and heated unevenly. I have also cooked a pizza in it and it was done quickly and evenly also. The only complaint is what was mentioned about having to be careful not to touch it when it's hot. The handle doesn't seem to get hot but just behind it on the metal it does. It is possible you could be burned that way, I did jerk my hand back once on casually opening the door(and I have small hands). That doesn't deter me from loving this toaster oven but I will be careful when it gets very hot. My husband wants to take this one to his work... I said no way! :) With Amazons good price and free shipping its well worth it!
