Back to Baking
I purchased this product a month ago and I have been happily baking ever since it arrived. I live in a small apartment without a full stove so most cooking was either built-in burners or microwave - and that gets old pretty quick. I bought this one primarily for the baking/roasting/broiling ability. I will not be using the toaster feature, since I already have a smart Cuisinart two-slice toaster.
The only negative is what others have written - no auto off. This isn't really an issue for me in my small space.
It's also good to note that the power cord is very short, so choosing a space close to an outlet is essential. Initially, the plan was to place it atop the microwave on the stand in order to keep limited counter space free, but the cord wouldn't reach the outlet from the stand.
That said, this machine is energy efficient as the cooking times using the convection feature with exact heat cuts most baking time in half. It's large enough to roast a full chicken or two Cornish game hens, browning their skins beautifully. A 2.5 lb eye round roast was crisp on the outside, tender and juicy inside. Haven't prepared casseroles yet, but with winter on the way, I plan to play with those, too.
The convection fan is super quiet so there's no noise to contend with while cooking.
If your kitchen space is limited, this is the oven for you. If you're single, or a couple, this is the oven for you.
