Sanyo SK-WA2S 5-Slice Toaster Oven, Silver

Sanyo SK-WA2S 5-Slice Toaster Oven, Silver From homemade lasagna to frozen foods, use the twin inlet toaster-convection oven instead of your heat blasting, energy wasting oven. It cooks healthier, locking in flavor. Serve up some of the familys favorite foods in record-breaking time: chicken nuggets, hot dogs, pizza, macaroni and cheese, cookies, cakes, and rolls.
Customer Review: It actually TOASTS BREAD!! :)
I've had a few toaster ovens in my time and this one beats them all hands down as the very best. It actually "toasts" bread better than even many regular toasters :) We who buy toaster-ovens want a product that not just bakes tater-tots or whatever else but toasts bread so we don't have to have 2 appliance on the counter. I mean... why even call it a "toaster" oven if it can't make a decent peace of toast. Well this one does it perfectly! It makes it fast & even and does not dry out the bread as the others.

There was a day when the microwave didn't exist so the toaster oven did a lot of re-heating but now we're more dependant on it being good at toasting & crisping and that's what this one actually does well (as well as bakes too), unlike any others I've ever owned. Oh, by the way, I was a bit leary about it not having all the bake temperature settings, but it's fine and it works out great on the "Pizza" setting which bakes at about 375.

A definite 10. It does get kinda hot on the outside but that's a small price to pay for such a great product.

Go ahead and buy it without doubts :)


Customer Review: toast this!
After ordering this, I noticed a lot of toaster ovens have just a single heating bar above and below. The elements in this oven are U shaped, which heats things more evenly, and 1300 watts is pretty hot. The top of the oven seems to stay cool, which is great. It doesn't take up much space.



Two racks come with it, a mesh one and a tray. The tray I used right away to toast pine nuts to fix my pesto jones. It was a lot faster than toasting in a frying pan, and for a pesto addict, speed is so essential ;)



Not so great: because the oven is so hot, it seems like the edges of the toast will start to burn before the center gets browned. I've only had this a week or two, so if I figure out how to get what I want, I'll update this review.



Wishes: an real temperature control (rather than upper/lower/warm/etc), and being able to adjust the height of the rack. These features are both hard to find in a toaster oven, though.
