Oster Toaster Oven, 7-in-1 Countertop Toaster Oven, 10.5" x 13" Fits 2 Large Pizzas, Stainless Steel

This was my second Oster Toaster oven. My old one finally died after about 4-5 years of regular use. I use this more often than my regular oven because it is a great size, big enough for large pans, but does not heat up the kitchen like my regular gas oven. I use this toaster oven multiple times a day and do 95% of my oven baking, roasting and toasting with this toaster oven and I truly LOVE it. Considering the amount of cooking I use it for, I can definitely state it is well built and will last long. The only con is I did have to line my cabinet with insulation because I did not want this on the counter and putting it inside a cabinet is problematic because it does generate some heat. I would recommend and this is my second purchase of the same toaster oven - note I did purchase 2 others to try but returned them as neither was as well made or reliable as this model.

I enjoy using this oven over my big built in oven. There are some legitiment complaints on amazon about this item:Cord to short: true, but uses extension cord, manufacturer knows this and keeps it short on purpose to protect agains any lawsuit/recall issues since this item is lightweight and can be moved or pulled off counter top very easy.Claims of Overcooking: If you dont know how to adjust to convection cooking, which simply means the hot air in your oven is moved around the item cooking by fans, Yes, you will over cook items, best way is to check food 5-10minutes prior to timer going off.Tempeture way off : Nope temp works perfect, remember, you do NOT Check Temp on convection setting, it is done on Bake Setting, if convection setting is being used, please adjust cooking time or use method stated above.Cant use Aluminium foil:False, you can use it with no problem, as long as you dont block fan ducts ot touch heating elements, please re-read that phrase in instruction booklet,Glass door breaks: To new to answer this one, just be careful when opening door, door has handle and does open much further then big ovens.Cant tell when oven is in bake or broil mode on digital controls:Well, if you cant see it, i suggest getting eyesight checked, Not a problem on my oven and i wear glasses.Oven gets hot when in use:True but not any hotter then a regular toaster oven gets when in use.Oven does not use regular bakeware sizes:Depends on what you are trying to use, oven hold 13 by 9 cookware and holds 16 inch pizza pan, oven does not use full size broiler pan, but comes with one that can be used, it slides in under rack and you bake, broil or grill on the rack above pan, very nice feature.Hope i covered the major complaints or questions being asked, in closing let me say that this oven is a very nice change on very hot days when you dont want the kitchen cooking from the big oven, it can be used in apts where no oven is available for 2 to 3 people, Oven has 2 racks, where you see them in picture is where you can put them, both shelfs come out for easy cleaning and yes, you can cook a full turkey or chicken in this oven, i would not try and cook Thanksgiving dinner in this due to its size but its nice as a seperate oven to heat items already cooked and as timesaver goes, dont look for major time saved by using this item, maybe 5 to 10 minutes per item, but you do save electricity which saves you money using this over your big oven when you can.

I would like to begin by saying that I have a very small kitchen with no room for a regular range Therefore for over 20 years I have cooked with counter top electric burners and a counter top oven. About 3 months ago my convection oven gave up on me. I did some serious research on the internet and decided on the Oster Extra Large counter top oven model TSSTTVOGXL. I find the one door drop down oven easy to use The handle on the door does get hot, but with the use of a good heavy oven mitt my hands stay safe. The top doesn't get very hot and the sides not hot at all.In the review on the net some people complained that there was no light inside. It is so big and open that I find a light unnecessary.I have cooked a 17lb turkey, cookies, cakes, casseroles and meats. The oven still looks new because it cleans up easily and nicely. I have used all oven settings with good success.Shortly after I purchased the oven my microwave gave up the ghost, but I have discovered that with my counter top burners and new oven the Mic. is not necessary. Tea ad coffee can be kept warm with a little electric warmer.Here are some hints:1: use the warm setting for melting.2: If you want to keep food warmer than the warm setting permits, set it on Bake 200.3: Use the top rack for cookies. Set at 325 and bake about 10 minutes.4: The instructions suggest that you not use foil. However I put a foil tent on the turkey and removed the foil about one hour before the turkey was done. It came out beautifully: brown and tender.5: After getting everything all set up, be sure to push the start button. Make sure the light on the setting is blinking.
