BLACK+DECKER TO3250XSB 8-Slice Extra Wide Convection Countertop Toaster Oven, Includes Bake Pan, Broil Rack & Toasting Rack, Stainless Steel/Black

Pre- It only took 5 minutes to heat up. Because I used the Cooling baking rack I purchased and the Convection air was able to surround the fish, it cooked the fish better than my oven and saved me from using our large oven. Don't let the term "Air-conditioning" fool you. Even Consumer Reports claims that they are not "fryers," but rather "convection ovens" - This is excellent value for money.

It's time to move on to the adult version of the game! ****
Update - August 2, 2018 ****
I've had no issues with this toaster oven, and my family and I have been using it on a daily basis for the past year. I stand by my review and would/will purchase another in a heartbeat. br>****
br>Since there are so many reviews on this thing already, I'll just get right to the point by answering the questions that lingered in my mind after reading all of the reviews. Is it large enough to fit into a 9x13 casserole dish with handles? Yes, and yes, and yes, and yes, and yes, and yes, and yes, and In our toaster oven, we're making meals for a family of five. We've had it for a week and have yet to use our regular oven. I'm serious. We might miss having a full oven during the holidays, but the other 363 days of the year, we'll probably be wondering why we have a full oven taking up so much space. We've joked about getting another one for "double oven" situations. With a price of $50. . . . why not? br>br>Is it worth it, and if so, why is it so inexpensive? Yes, it's a good investment. If you've ever used the build quality of a Breville toaster oven, you'll understand why it's $50 rather than $300. Is it still attractive and appears to have a long life ahead of it? Without a doubt. br>br>Is it possible to make toast with it, and if so, is it as slow as everyone claims? Yes, it makes lovely toast; however, is it slow? I haven't put it up against my toaster to see how fast it can go. Although I should probably use a toaster, it does not appear to be any slower. When you add in the fact that I can make 8 pieces of toast at once for my growing family, it's clear that it's a lot faster. br>br>Does it get as hot outside as people say it does? Sure, why not? There are numerous warnings posted throughout the property, and they are not joking. When heated to 450 degrees on the inside, the top reached 160 degrees, but keep in mind that you'll be cooking a full 9x13 pan of lasagna in this thing, so give it some breathing room. It preheats faster and runs cooler than a full oven; however, at $50, it isn't as well insulated. Is it loud? br>br> My children have a habit of making a lot of noise. My lawnmower makes a lot of noise. This device is simply circulating warm air while preparing my meal. You're spending too much time alone if this is noisy. Is there only one rack? br>br>Can you tell me how many racks there are? Yes. Why? Because if there are two racks, people will toast both racks, leaving the bottoms of the top rack and the tops of the bottom rack untoasted, causing them to complain. Many people put the crumb tray in the wrong place (which is very easy to do) and then complain that it doesn't bake or toast properly. There is only one rack because of this. br>br>In conclusion, this item is well worth the money, and once you've purchased it and used it with adult-sized dishes, you'll wonder why it isn't priced higher.

I'd been eyeing this toaster oven for a while and finally bought it a week ago, so I'm finally writing this review. The oven has exceeded my expectations. It's big and pretty, as you can see in the photo, and it bakes up nicely. To see the results, I posted two photos of a cake I baked. br>br>My only criticism is that a small portion wasn't fully baked, but I popped it back in for a few minutes and it was perfect; I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of baking and roasting in this oven. It comes highly recommended because it can accommodate a large bundt pan, two 8 2 cake pans, and a 9 13 pan, among other things.

The convection feature is extremely useful. Thank you to Black and Decker for making it available on a sub-contract basis. a 12-inch pizza for $70 Toaster ovens of various sizes are available. Countertop ovens can be tolerated thanks to convection ovens - We use it in place of our built-in under-the-stove oven. To save electricity and heat, use the top oven. Without the convection feature, cooking takes much longer, and the quartz radiant heating elements on the top are more likely to scorch. br>br>Out of these, we can usually get a maximum of two years. We made the mistake of allowing drips to accumulate on the quartz rods at the bottom. The heat shield will eventually become impossible to clean. You should be able to get 5 years with ease if you are careful. The convection fan, which is the oven's weak point, may then have a bearing issue. br>br>The convection feature also helps to reduce warm-up time. We use ours to make banana bread (from a Trader Joe's mix) and half a turkey breast (4 times last Thanksgiving - I love turkey, but my family despises it, so every week in November, I buy a fresh breast from Trader Joe's and cook full packs of chicken legs (Trader Joe's size, not monster packs). We set it to the highest setting we can without turning off the convection fan or switching to broil mode for meats. br>br>I believe this is between 50 and 100 dollars. 75% cool percentage based on pizza cooking times on pizza boxes vs. Our actual cooking times are as follows: That's fine with us. br>br>The top heats up to the point where plastic wrap begins to melt - We made the mistake of leaving some wrapped food on top - On the other hand, nothing within reach on the outside ever gets hot enough for a child to have time to remove his or her hand before a burn occurs. br>br>Overall, this is good value for money at under $70.

After a month of use, the glass shattered. I mean, I could go on and on about its lack of insulation or how much we liked the dials, but After only ONE MONTH OF USE, THE GLASS SHATTERED INTO THOUSANDS OF LITTLE PIECES ALL OVER THE KITCHEN. By not purchasing this, you will save yourself the pain (as well as the possibility of a hospital visit for your loved ones).

Everything about this Toaster Oven is appealing to me, except for the temperature! I only use it four times a year. I've discovered the temperature isn't working properly 5 times in the last few months, including just a couple of days ago. I had two pieces of Mackerel, and after 35 minutes at 400 degrees, they were still not done, so I added another 15 minutes at 450 degrees, and the surface began to brown. For two 120-minute pieces, it will take 50 minutes. Do you have 130 grams of Mackerel? br>This product does not impress me in the least.
