Review of Cuisinart TOB-195 Convection Toaster Oven | See Lowest Price

Don't be fooled by the "toaster oven" label. This product is really a full traditional oven in miniature. It performs all the same functions and perhaps more than your full size oven, but faster and more efficiently.

The actual product dimensions 16 X 17-3/4 X 9-5/8 inches make this is machine a diminutive powerhouse, taking up little counterspace to do a big job. The oven heats quickly and cooks foods nice and crisp, including pizza crusts, which is huge timesaver. Unlike traditional ovens that can seem to take forever to preheat, the Cuisinart TOB-195 Convection Toaster Oven heats to high temps in just minutes. Once it hits the temperature you desire, an alarm sounds letting you know the oven is ready.

The controls are conveniently located below the over door, which saves on space by not requiring an extra panel adjacent to the oven. This is smart design. The controls feature a digital temperature setting that allows for precision cooking, eliminating any guesswork. The control pad is clearly labeled and very simple to use. The LCD display makes it easy to see what settings the oven is on at all times.

As far as cooking times go and temperatures being correct, this oven is right on. No need to adjust oven temperatures to achieve great results. The oven is so efficient and quick cooking that when recipes over cooking time ranges, it is likely that the Cuisinart TOB-195 Convection Toaster Oven will be ready in the shortest cooking time.

The convection oven feature is handy, and while perhaps not as heavily used as other options, a wonderful feature to have. When cooking on convection there is a low humming noise from the fan, but it is not overly noisy or bothersome, just a gentle hum. The oven can reach up to 500 degrees, which is great for broiling as well. The oven comes along with a sturdy non-stick broiling tray and drip pan that can serve a dual purpose as a bake pan. The pans are ample in size.

As far as looks go, this oven can't be beat. The stainless steel exterior with brushed steel handle are sophisticated and sleek in style. This appliance is very professional looking without any plastic parts to cheapen the expensive look and feel. The only improvement might be to add an interior light in updated versions.

With regard to clean up, the Cuisinart TOB-195 Convection Toaster Oven is actually easy to clean thanks to non-stick walls that allow baked on food to just slide off. The instruction manual that accompanies the oven is very informative and even offers some delicious sounding recipes. The product comes with a 3 year limited warranty.

The Cuisinart TOB-195 Convection Toaster Oven is definitely a worthwhile investment. It is highly likely you'll find, like most owners, that you use it every single day. In fact, it may quickly become your favorite kitchen appliance. This oven is highly recommended.

"Great Appliance Does it All"
By, M. Cane (Ft. Lauderdale, FL USA)

"This appliance does it all. Great for defrosting and toasting bagels. You hit toaster button and then immediately hit defrost button, so it is a single operation. Wonderful convection oven. Looks smart and works very well. This is the perfect toaster oven/convection oven/ broiler for two people. I don't have to heat up the regular oven, so it saves energy. The convection feature saves time. Highly recommended."

"The best toaster oven on the market"
By S. Kwong (Brooklyn, New York United States)

"Simply the best looking and working toaster oven we've have ever used. We first purchase the staineless Kitchen Aid device because of it's reputation and looks but returned it because it was inferior. Did a little research and bought this Cuisinart instead and have been completely satistied. It looks good, makes perfect toast and everything else. Because of it's large interior and a fan to circulate the heat inside the oven, it heats much faster than our old unit. We hardly have to use our full size oven anymore. It cost a little more than other units but it worth it."
