BLACK+DECKER 4-Slice Toaster Oven, Fits 9″ Pizza

I have a cabinet with a built in toaster oven garage with a door that is exactly 11 inches in depth. While there are nicer and more high tech toaster ovens I would have liked to look at, this is actually one of maybe only 3 sold by any manufacturer that will fit. I got it to replace a Black and Decker model from the early 90s that had the toaster button with a darkness knob that was very intuitive. The world has moved on and now all toaster ovens use the controls this one does where you set which elements the heat will come from (top/bottom/both), how much power to apply, and a timer knob. When you set the knob you can actually hear it ticking down, and a loud “ding” goes off when it is done. As other have noted, it is a bit of an art to remember exactly where to set the knob – you also do not have to set the knob to 10 and then turn back to the left, but you do have to turn it past the mark with the half cooked toast slice or it won’t ever stop counting down. Probably most inconvenient thing is that you have to remember to reset both of the upper knobs to “Toast” setting if you use it for any other purpose. Cleaning is a matter of removing a tray at the bottom, my previous one had a more convenient trap door that opened the entire bottom. But overall it seems high quality, safe, looks nice, and is a good replacement what I had.

I ordered this for my mom who uses a toaster oven every day. She uses pie tins to make biscuits in it constantly. When hers stopped working, she asked me to order this one because she liked the door design and it said you could cook a 9 inch pizza in it. She assumed this meant her pie tins would fit. The tins are too big and she does not have a small pan that will fit, so we will have to return. This does seem like a good little oven if you just want to make toast or things that can be cooked straight on the rack. Also good for small spaces.

I am very happy with the Cuisinart countertop toaster oven, & I use it two or three times a day. I like that there are two heating elements in top & bottom of this oven. The easily removable crumb tray makes cleanup quick & easy. I am very pleased with baking & toasting.

I’ve only had this product for a short while, so I can’t provide a definitive assessment of its longevity just yet. However, I can confidently say that in the time I’ve been using it, it has demonstrated remarkable durability and performance. It boasts a sturdy construction that suggests it will stand the test of time. When it comes to toasting bread, it achieves perfection with ease, ensuring that every slice comes out just the way you like it – perfectly golden brown and crispy. Moreover, it excels at melting cheese on bread, effortlessly transforming your ordinary sandwiches into gooey, mouthwatering delights. As I continue to put this appliance to the test, I look forward to experiencing its enduring reliability and continued ability to produce culinary perfection.
