Black Decker CTO6301 Toaster Oven. I recently purchased this stove and so far, I am barely pleased with it. For the price, it has many more features than ovens that are substantially more expensive. The stove feels solid and well built and looks very nice, the brushed stainless steel and black trim are barely sharp and it blends in with no problems with most technological pantry appliances. There is no internal stove light but the elements glow enough for you to view the food through the clean glass front creating it easy to confirm on the progress without opening the stove door.
It is a bit larger than a standard toaster stove but can fit substantially larger products inside, within a 12 inch pizza. You should confirm the dimensions regarding the appliance prior to purchasing to make sure it fits your wants and your counters for that matter. The controls are mostly intuitive but you can need to fiddle around with it a little times prior to you get the hang of it. There exists barely a little different choices but they can be self explanatory for the highest many part. The buttons are clearly marked with letters and a picture, which also shows up within the display when activated.
The display is bright and easy to view with the digital timer and heat setting flashing consecutively. The timer should be set for up to 3 hours, that is a rare find. The stove beeps with each button push and also beeps 4 times when the timer expires. It's loud but not obnoxiously so. The stove heat should be adjusted by six degree increments which know it or not is barely rare.
Many other manufacturers have preset temperatures that do not always make sense and can not be altered, that is distant from practical. The stove preheats quickly and seems to maintain a steady heat with or without the fan. The fan is surprisingly quiet mostly compared with some regarding the more expensive ovens. Food seems to bake evenly though you do need to make sure you hold products at fewest 3 inches from the top element or it shall burn. Larger products shall typically need to be rotated at fewest once during baking to make sure that even browning.
Toasting takes a bit detailed than a standard toaster so those of you new to toaster ovens, please hold this in mind. This stove does a nice job of toasting though you can need to adjust the rack and you do need to hold an eye on it until you locate the setting that suits you best. The bagel feature shall also be nice as it toasts the top while only warming the bottom. The pans included with the stove are the standard broiler pot and baking tray as well like a pizza pan. The pans are a bit flimsy but many standard baking pans shall with no problems fit into this stove and make better results.
Creating use of the pizza pot for baking pizza shall result in a very soft crust. Whether you need it crispy, bake directly on the rack. The rack should be adjusted to 4 different positions which allows for a bit more flexibility in terms of what you can fit inside the oven. Since the rack is adjustable it is not attached to door so you have knowledge of to manually slide it out to remove products but the door opens completely and lies flat so the access to interior regarding the stove is easier. The stove does get barely warm but hey, it is an oven.
Just make sure the stove is located in a location where hands should not return into contact with the sides, front and mostly the top. Take note regarding the height regarding the stove and make sure that there is adequate clearance on the sides and top regarding the stove prior to purchasing. The bottom regarding the stove does not get warm so countertops should not be damaged. The glass door also gets barely warm but the handle remains cool. The crumb tray pulls straight out from the front and is completely flat so sleek up is a snap.
The interior regarding the stove shall also be easy to sleek as is the outside regarding the oven. The power cord is a bit detailed than usual which sends you added flexibility with placing the stove but you have knowledge of to be careful the cord does not touch the sides regarding the stove as again, they do get barely hot. All and all I located this stove to be very many worth the price. It has many more features than more expensive ovens. It looks nice and so far, seems to work barely well.
