Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Hamilton Beach 6-Slice Toaster and Convection Oven
Customer Review: Excellent Oven!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this oven at Wal-Mart after my old Black and Decker gave up the ghost 15 years later! I noticed that a lot of the new B&D toaster ovens didn't seem very good, and indeed, many got poor ratings here on amazon. Myself, I'm not overly impressed with B&D anymore. I've owned many of their tools and a few dustbusters over the past several years, and all of them died shortly after the warranty did, so I steered clear of buying another B&D product. Now for my review... This is by far the best toaster oven I've owned yet. It bakes/broils/convection cooks and has a "keep warm" feature. It is simple to operate and has a nice roomy interior. It easily holds a TV dinner or 6 slices of bread. The unit measures 18 by 12-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches, so there's adequate space inside to accommodate most cooking needs. It features three different rack positions for baking/broiling. It also includes its own baking pan and broiling rack, so there's no need to hunt down extra cookware. Heck, I even managed to fit a muffin tin in there! The convection feature is really nice, and cooks in 1/3 the time it would normally take. The oven is also continuous clean, so you don't have to worry about messy clean-ups or a dirty interior. The crumb tray simply slides out and wipes clean and everything fits securely. The outside of the unit does get hot during extended use, so caution should be excercised when appliance is used around kids. The unit cooks very competently and I used my oven thermometer to check the heat level, since toaster ovens aren't precision cookers and are notorious for temperature fluctuations. However, I set the thermostat for 350 degrees, then to 450 degrees, waited about 20 minutes to get an accurate reading, and I couldn't believe my eyes. The temperature was RIGHT ON the mark! Even my full-sized oven isn't that accurate! The temperature knob runs from "keep warm" all the way to 500 degrees. The timer is easy to set, just wind it up and let it count down. A nice loud bell signals when cooking time is up, and automatically shuts off the unit. When toasting bread, it was evenly done on both sides, though making toast with a toaster oven has always produced mixed results, I have no complaints. Needless to say, I just might retire my old two-slice toaster! :)
In summary, I would have to say that this in an excellent product. Hamilton Beach has designed an oven that is not only functional, but well-built, simple to use, easy to keep clean and attractive. Unit comes with a two year warranty and my experience with Hamilton Beach appliances has always been positive. Highly recommended.
Description of Hamilton Beach 6-Slice Toaster and Convection Oven
The Hamilton Beach Toaster/Convection oven has many uses. Superior 6 slice toasting capacity has broil and bake options as well. The convection oven feature cuts cooking time up to 33%.Compact but capacious, this all-purpose oven can take the place of a toaster and reduces the need to waste power with a full-size oven. This model features a continuous clean function, 15-minute timer with automatic shutoff, and four settings: fan only, bake/toast, broil, and rapid cook. Rapid cook is the convection oven mode, in which food cooks 33 percent faster than in a regular oven. Baking temperatures range from a low keep warm setting to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. The 12-by-9-inch oven rack holds up to six slices of bread for toasting, and when placed on the lowest of the three rack positions perfectly toasts bagels and English muffins. A baking pan is included that is large enough to hold a roast chicken, and a broiling rack that fits inside the pan can be used to broil hamburgers, fish, hot dogs, and sausages. The easily removable crumb tray should be wiped clean regularly, while the baking rack and pan can be washed in hot, soapy water. With two knobs on the back to keep it slightly away from a wall, the oven measures 18 by 12-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches and features a glass door for convenient viewing. --Ann Bieri
