This Convection Ovens give to us some advantages, like this :
1. AWESOME!
Hats off to Oster on this one.....we love this oven! I was sent on a mission when my very old Wel-Bilt oven went on the fritz. It had lasted so long that I would have bought another, but I found out they are no longer made. I spent countless hours and days researching a replacement, only to find out that the maunfacturers apparently haven't been able to perfect their designs. It seems they all have their pros and cons. Eventually my search narrowed down to either this oven or the Hamilton Beach Countertop Oven with Convection & Rotisserie Model # 31103. Obviously I chose the Oster, and I have NO REGRETS. It is perfect for my use.
I found that I am no longer using my regular kitchen oven (excluding the stovetop), and relying solely on my toaster oven. I was looking for something bigger than what I had, but not too large. I would consider this a medium sized oven. My old oven would fit a cornish hen but not a 5 lb chicken, and this Oster oven is able to handle a 5...
2. Very inaccurate temperature
I use my toaster oven mostly for baking, so the first thing I did was put in a known accurate oven thermometer and turn the oven on convection bake. Set at 400 degrees it heated up to nearly 550 degrees. I could feel heat radiating from several feet away. After 45 minutes or so it cooled down to just over 400, but I like to use the toaster oven for small items because it should reach temperature quickly and save electricity. This thing will not do that.
It emits a gentle whir while it's running that might annoy some people. But the 150 degree over temp annoyed me a lot more!
Need more appointment... ?
Wonderful Convection Feature
At 1300 watts and approximately .6 cubic feet, we would class this as a medium-sized toaster oven. The interior is about 11 3/4 inches wide by 11 1/2 inches deep by 8-inches high, which fits up to a 9 1/2-inch square pan comfortably. There is a stay-cool handle, a nifty slide-out crumb tray, and the rack glides smoothly on the well-positioned indented tracks. Its toasting speed rivals that of a standard pop-up toaster, browning a large sandwich roll in merely three minutes. "Toast" in addition to "Pizza" and "Convection Bake" employ both top and bottom heating elements. The heat does not fluctuate much in toast mode. If this is too fast for you, you may try reducing the temperature out of the marked "Toast" range, or use the pizza feature. Be sure to preheat first, according to the user's manual. Our all-time favorite multi-function toaster, the original dinky diney Toast-R-Oven (until we had to do so much baking), was about this quick, but had a special automatic short-duration timer...
