   After having a bad experience with a Breville Convection Toaster Oven breaking down on me after a little over a month, I decided that I really didn’t need a top of the line toaster…but I ended up buying one anyways. The Cuisinart Chef’s Convection Toaster Oven is probably the priciest toaster oven I purchased, but dang, does it work well. This little beast pretty much replaced my standard oven when making oven baked items for my family. I’ve made turkey legs, lamb roasts, oven fries, meatballs, cookies, and even reheated leftovers in this thing with great results. Also, this little oven makes for a great slice of toast – it seems to do it all. The oven heats up quickly, has a great convection setting that makes items like fries and chicken skin crisp, and is relatively intuitive to use. As per suggested by other reviewers, I did paint a few layers of clear nail polish over the buttons prior to use, and I haven’t had any issues with the lettering on the buttons fading or chipping off. The outside of the oven does get a bit hot like most toaster ovens do, but the heat and temperature seems to stay within the oven as well – I didn’t have any issues with heat leaking out the door or the door not completely shutting. This toaster oven comes with two wire racks, metal oven tray with metal rack on top, and a pizza stone. It has a light so you can see clearly into the oven – something I didn’t even know I would need or end up loving – and the timer bell is loud enough to hear, but not so loud that I would wake up everyone in the other rooms when it goes off. The oven automatically shuts off once the timer sounds, so you don’t need to worry about keeping track of the unit to make sure it’s off. In terms of cleaning the unit, it’s relatively easy to clean. I have been wiping down the inside and outside of the unit every few weeks, although it’s recommended to wipe down after every use. My oven doesn’t seem to be getting much build up despite almost daily use, although I would recommend wiping it down if you cook foods in it that have a tendency to splatter oil such as meat. I’ve owned this unit for a little over half a year and find it to be one of the most useful kitchen appliances to have on hand – it definitely earned its spot on my kitchen counter. Overall, this is an attractive, well made, and very useful appliance to have in the kitchen – it’s definitely worth every cent that I paid for it and I would buy it again.

   I’m absolutely amazed by the simple yet elegant design of the Cuisinart Convection Toaster Oven Model: TOB-260N1. It cooked my $3 store bought frozen pizza to absolute perfection, with a beautifully even bake that left the crust crispy and the toppings deliciously melted. The see-through door is a fantastic feature, allowing me to monitor my food without opening it and losing heat. The quick preheating time is a game-changer, saving me valuable time in my busy kitchen. This compact, stainless steel appliance is a must-have for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient cooking tool. Highly recommend it—5 stars all the way!

   Quería un horno tostador de gama alta ya que no tengo un horno de tamaño completo. He comprado este mismo tres veces porque funciona muy bien. Puedo colocar fácilmente una sartén para lasaña de 9×9 pulgadas o una pizza de 12 pulgadas adentro. Me gustan todas las configuraciones diferentes, además de que la opción de convención (que ayuda a que las cosas se cocinen más rápido y tengan el exterior tostado) funciona como una freidora de aire. Las etiquetas están en inglés.

   Waited to review until we had used for awhile, which we now have for over five months. As luck would have it, our stove oven went out just as Covid lockdowns were starting. So began the search for a countertop replacement where we could bake the occasional pizza plus casseroles, fruit crisps, etc….but mainly it had to accommodate a decent sized pizza for two. The fact that the information said this oven could do that and came with a pizza stone was the reason for choosing this particular oven. Learned at the outset that this oven bakes hot so we automatically set temp 25 degrees lower and if there is a time range on the recipe, set for minimum time. In the beginning, just watched things very closely until we got a feel for how it baked. There seemed to be quite a few comments that lettering fairly quickly wore off the buttons. The lettering on ours is still all quite intact, no issue there. The oven heats quite quickly and we have not noticed the outside getting excessively hot. The right front corner seems to have a warmer spot, bakes hotter, noticeable mostly with pizza, just make sure to keep an eye on it and turn during the bake to brown evenly. It is easy to clean the inside; there is a tray at the bottom that you can pull out to dump crumbs or wash spills. I must say I am not thrilled with the stainless exterior. Shows water spots and spots from hands that are hard to wipe off. I am not experienced with stainless appliances…perhaps there is a cleaner that deals with water spits,etc….need to research. Ok, now to address the function that was our main reason for choosing this model….Pizza! We have been most pleased with this oven’s performance of handling pizza. We have a local Papa Murphy’s that sells take and bake pizzas. They come on a tough paper-like round tray…actually, I am not sure what the tray is made of…..that you put directly into oven with pizza. However, results with baking on that have been less than satisfactory in our opinion. The directions say to bake at 425. By experimenting, I found that setting to 400 degrees, bottom position with stone preheated, place tray with pizza on stone. After 7 min, I use a metal peel-like gadget, slide between the now somewhat crisped up pizza crust and the tray, loosen it from the tray and pull the tray out so the pizza finishes on bare stone for another 7 min, rotating as needed for even browning. Our favorite is a combination and this tastes every bit as good as going to pizza restaurant. I made my first sourdough pizza in the oven recently….also excellent with results. My berry crisps have turned out great, casseroles. We have since repaired our stove oven, but find for smaller things like desserts and the pizzas, our go-to is the Cuisinart countertop oven. We are very pleased with it. My experimenting with baking sourdough loaves in dutch oven in the Cuisinart less than successful. Pan too close to bottom elements resulting in burned bottoms, but not ready to throw in towel yet. I do have the large oven for that but would still like to figure out how to make the smaller oven work as well. The photos are of my homemade sourdough pizza.

   So far so good! Works great! I’m using it for baking cookies alongside my full size oven. There’s a little learning curve with all the settings but all in all I can’t complain! I bought used and I’m a little bummed it came dented and dinged but again. Overall I can’t complain

   I have to say, not only is this a beautiful looking appliance, it is also a great product. Cruisinart thought of everything when they made this machine. Very easy to operate and food comes out perfect every time. The drip pan is so easy to clean, not like the cheaper models that you have to scrub. Cruisinart also thought to make it so you able to adjust the bell so you can hear it. The convection part is quiet but definitely running. I love the speed convection. I haven’t found anything that I dislike about this so far. Well worth the money. I’ve had toaster ovens most of my life, even another Cuisinart. This one is the best!

   I bought this back in early 2019 and it worked very well for me. It’s not great at toasting (get a real toaster) but for other things like baking or broiling it did very well with everything I cooked in it. The controls are simple to use and it was still working well when I left it behind after I sold my house. I came here to check on them and I’ll say I’m surprised the price is now double what it was when I bought it 6plus years ago.
