![]() ![]() The 1,800 watts of power and optional convection heating help to roast meat, toast bread, and bake in less time than traditional countertop ovens. Though you’ll pay a hefty price for this countertop oven, it’s well worth the money. While this isn’t going to do as much as one of the large, expensive models, this does a great job with the tasks it's built for. We found that bread toasted evenly, frozen food cooked well, and chicken legs cooked adequately using the air-fry function new to this particular model. ( Previous models didn’t have the ever-popular air-fry option.) As a bonus for anyone just building out their kitchen-college students, recent grads, newlyweds, and so forth-this model comes with a rack, baking pan, and air-fry basket that fit perfectly in the toaster oven for convenience. It also has five convenient cooking functions: warm, bake, toast, broil, and air fry. It easily fits a 9-inch pizza, four slices of bread, or a variety of other snacks and meals. If you can look past that, you’ll be impressed by this oven’s capacity. The only downside is that the lightweight construction means the oven isn’t as heavily insulated as some others, so it gets hot on the outside during cooking. This makes it extremely easy to move in and out of storage. Still, you’ll get plenty of the features and cooking power people love about higher-end models.Īs a big bonus for anyone with a small kitchen, this oven is extremely compact and lightweight (it weighs just over 8 pounds). Though many countertop ovens will run you a few hundred dollars, this introductory model is much more affordable. The bottom line is: Any family would be hard-pressed to find a more spacious option with higher efficiency.īlack+Decker's Crisp N' Bake Is a Compact, Efficient Toaster Oven The control panel is entirely digital, so there are no dials, knobs, or crevices to collect dirt and grease. Another feature we adored is how easy it is to clean. We were particularly fond of the glass door, since it offers a large view window to let you see what’s cooking without having to open the oven, but it is a bit delicate. There’s also a dedicated pizza function as well as a warming feature to keep food hot while the rest of your meal cooks. It’s easy to use, thanks to convenient digital settings for baking, broiling, toasting, and defrosting. It has a maximum temperature setting of 450 degrees, and its 90-minute timer automatically turns the oven off in case you get distracted. It can accommodate two 16-inch pizzas, 18 slices of bread (seriously!), or-as we discovered-a full family-size chicken. Size is usually the big disadvantage of a countertop oven over a traditional one, but the Oster Extra Large truly lives up to its name. In our tests, it cooked a juicy meatloaf in just 45 minutes (compared to an hour in a standard oven). Though countertop ovens are generally more energy-efficient than wall ovens or oven-stove combinations, this particular model uses an extra-impressive 50 percent less energy while still giving you great results.
