Toaster Oven

Thanks for all your advice! I read a lot of reviews and the Breville clearly was the winner. However, since I didn't know for sure how much I would use it, I ended up with a $79 Oster convection from Walmart, mostly because of the 5-year warranty. So far, I have baked brownies, a full-sized bundt cake, made toast (it holds 9 slices), and roasted a 4 lb. chicken. I located a 9x12 pan that fits on the top rack. The convection fan is very quiet and, so far, I'm a happy camper!

Yes. Oster is really good, especially more competitive than Breville in price. It seems to be the one has longest warranty on the market. But I would take Breville regardless the price.

have that oven too. it realy cooks great and fast. I like it a lot , almost as good as my one in my kitchen at home.

I bought a 30$ toaster oven from Walmart. I went to the disposable pan section, picked out a 9x9 pan, 9" round pan, 6 muffin pan, 9x5 bread pan, & made sure they fit-they did. Love it. Everything bakes fine & the toaster works great, too. Even tho, I went to Walmart & bought their 6$ toaster. I paid 50c for a toaster oven w/all the attachments @ an auction. I keep it in the house & it works wonderful too. The best 50c I ever spent. LOVE my toaster ovens.

Totally agree with Breville. I use the Cuisinart TOB 165 at home and it has served me well for many years - however, I will replace it with the Breville when we head south this winter. We have a Breville Panini maker and the quality is amazing.

I've never owned a toaster oven but I think I want to get one for our RV because I really don't get good results with my oven and I belong to a camping club with a carry-in once a month. I've run out of ideas for "non-cooked" items or cakes I bake days before. I would appreciate any suggestions. Convection? Size? Brand? Any experience or advice you have would be greatly appreciated.

I am curious as to what problems you have. Does the oven burn the bottoms while leaving the top uncooked. If so you may need to put a heat diffuser in the bottom of the oven. I use an inverted cookie pan in the bottom of my oven to fix the issue. Others use unglazed tiles, pizza stone, etc. in the bottom for that purpose.

This is a nice convection oven plus it has a rotisserie. Click here

I carry a Crusinart TOB 155. I have their convection version of the same oven at home & rarely use the feature so this is the model I purchased for the trailer. Takes a 12"pizza pan. I've baked pies, done whole chickens, roasts, even made toast!

Thank you, all. I'm convinced it's a good move.

We have a Brevelle Convection. Bakes extremely well and we have also done Roast Beef, Pizza, Fish, French Fries as well as bagels, toast, crumpets etc. A little pricey but it really works well.

X2; it's not cheap but it's worth it.
