DASH Mini Toaster Oven Cooker – Pink

Calienta muchísimo, tener cuidado para que no queme la comida, es muy pequeño considerar eso, cabe en cualquier lugar y es más que nada tostador, pero esta hermoso !

What a wonderful little toaster oven. I don’t have the space to fit a regular toaster oven but this mini takes up so little room and works perfectly, one slice at a time. The “single temperature” is really not that hard to adapt to. It is easily workable using the timer. Initially I was worried about the unit being too hot but it has not been an issue at all. I am able to retrieve my toasts easily and have not once burn myself. Very useful little gadget and it is pretty too.

I bought this oven after seeing a video of someone managing to bake a mini cake in it. I tried the same thing and it worked really well! I used miniature metal pans and filled them about 1/2-3/4 full with cake batter. Certain things will burn if you don’t put a sheet of foil over them, since the heating element on the top of the oven is so close to the surface of what you’re cooking. There’s always going to be some trial and error with making unconventional things in a toaster oven of course. I’ve had a lot of fun making tiny desserts with it so far though! It’s like an Easy Bake oven for adults!

It looks like a toy and in a way it is. Because it is so small that it does not fit many things in it or practically only fits one thing, it does not regulate the temperature, it only regulates by time. So if you want to heat a bread it would not be recommended because you can burn it very easily. The resistance is very close to the level of the grate so it can heat a product very quickly before it can be cooked.

It heats up quickly and is very close to the food so it can burn it easily. I think that if the temperature could be controlled a little or one of the resistors could be eliminated so that it would not generate as much heat, it would be more suitable to be able to use it on different foods without them burning so quickly. I wanted it because it was small and looked very nice to put in the kitchen, but I don’t think it has much usability.

I knew what to expect when I bought it and I bought it mostly because of how pretty it looked. But I knew I was going to have a problem with the temperature. So if you plan to buy it to do small things or heat food, it is better to heat it with another appliance and not with this because it will burn you.

mine has a hotspot near the back corner that cooks just a little faster so i have to watch that and rotate food once if it needs more than a couple of minutes cooking time.
great for flat foods that just need steady high heat.
english muffin pizza, reheating cold pizza, toast, bagels, hash brown patties, heat and serve sausage patties, reheating mashed potatoes and you want a little crisping on top, melting cheese onto things: 10 out of 10.
precooked frozen chicken tenders/nuggets: 8 out of 10, works but have to be turned a few times for even heating and to avoid sogginess on the bottom/char on the top.
frozen biscuits, cookie dough: 0 out of 10, not worth the smoke alarm going off.
i also figured out how to use foil and a small pan to make it a steamer for a red bean bun and that was delicious (and fun) but the bun is a little too tall and the first one burned.
for best results, just use flat foods that don’t sit too high in oven or they will char on top.
a 4.25″ square by 2″ tall pan fits perfectly.

I was looking for a small toaster oven that could be used with my solar battery, and had my eye on this one for quite some time. I knew when I ordered it that it was not the end-all-to-end-all of toaster ovens, but it does do a surprisingly good job for its size. We have been using it every day since we received it and are very happy with it. My DH loves hot dogs and has been cooking them in this. The microwave causes the hotdogs to explode, but this little oven cooks them perfectly. Also, the night before I had cooked hamburger patties of which zi had two left over. I wrapped them in foil and put them in this cute oven, wound the timer to its full extent. The burgers came out steaming hot, and much better than nuking them in the microwave. Of course, it toasts bread beautifully — even large slices of homemade bread, toaster pastries, anything that is fairly flat. This cute little guy gets up to 400 degrees, and only 400 degrees — nothing more and nothing less. It is important to keep food at a distance from the upper burner to keep the food from burning. I have several Dash appliances and this little toaster oven is like them in that it cooks better with thawed food as opposed to frozen. There are all kinds of ideas on how to use (and not use) this very cute little oven. I can recommend Counter Cooking on YouTube. Who does “cute” appliances better than Dash? Also, not only are they cute, but they work! My next experiment for this toaster oven is thawed, flat chicken patties. One more recommendation would be to cover the enclosed baking pan with foil.
