Customer Review: love it
I followed the instructions for toast-set the rack to the B position,turned the temp to 500 degrees, set on bake/toast,turned the timer dial past 20 minute than back to the toast shade I desired, I selected the lightest shade possible. I was a little nervous after reading the burned toast comments so I stood by and watched. The toast was perfect, exactly as it would have been in a toaster.
Next I tried a 12" frozen pizza, followed the instructions-set to 425 degrees, set the rack to the A position, set the timer. The only thing I did differently was I placed a sheet of alumium foil under the bottom heating elements on top of the crumb tray because I put the pizza directly on top on the rack (instructions do not indicate to do this). I added extra cheese and spices, set the timer for 10 minutes. The top of the pizza was done perfectly. The crust was slightly burned on the bottom, next time I'll set the timer for 9 minutes and lower the temp(9 minutes for a frozen pizza! wow, even my pizzaz pizza cooker takes 25 minutes).
Yes, the dial is hard to turn at first, it does loosen up, so far this is my only complaint. I can't wait to roast chicken or a full meal using the convection feature. So far so good, very happy with this product. I got it for $104.00, so I'm even happier with the price.
Customer Review: The Oven Timer Is Impossible to Make Accurate
This would be an outstanding oven except for the timer dial. It is impossible to adjust for any time less than 20 minutes. Once the dial is turned past 20 minutes, which you must do because it is spring activated, it is impossible to move back below 20 minutes.
Needless to say, most foods cooked in a toaster oven take less than 10 minutes. This not only makes the oven faulty and impractical, it also makes it dangerous and very costly to operate.
So, I sent it back and will get one with an electronic timer.
