Cuisinart CPT-120 Electronic Cool Touch 2-Slice Toasters

Cuisinart CPT-120 Electronic Cool Touch 2-Slice Toasters

Cuisinart CPT-120 Electronic Cool Touch 2-Slice Toasters

Ancient Romans left bread heating on rocks as a means of toasting to preserve the bread. You don't have to. You can enjoy delicious, toasted bread anytime you want, in moments not hours. Cuisinart CPT-120 is a stylish, functional toaster that is designed for precision and ease. There are 9 settings to choose the brown-ness of your toast. It just doesn't work with store sliced bread. It has 2 extra-wide slots to accept an English Muffin or a Bagel. Convenient touch-controls make this toaster a friendly partner in any kitchen. Then spread your favorite butter, jam, or cold cut on your fresh, hot toast. The Romans would've never dreamed of the Cuisinart CPT-120. It's your reality. Make this toaster yours!

Cuisinart CPT-120 Electronic Cool Touch 2-Slice Toasters Review

I bought this Cuisinart toaster about a month ago. Previously, I owned a cheap Toastmaster two slice toaster that I had since college.

This toaster is compact but has everything you could need. It has slots wide enough for homemade bread and bagels, a reheat and defrost button and a cancel button. It is a very powerful toaster for sandwich bread. The first time I used it I was too excited to read the instructions first so I set the LED dial at 5 which was the level I used on my Toastmaster. That was a mistake because I burnt the toast crisp. This toaster I only have to set to a 2 to get my toast a nice brown shade. It really puts off the heat. I don't eat bagels so I can't say how it does on them. On Toaster Strudels it works well at a level 4 or 5 setting.

I love this toaster and would buy it again!

Cheap Cuisinart TOB-165 Convection Toaster Oven/Broiler, White

Cuisinart TOB-165 Convection Toaster Oven/Broiler, White

Compact and loaded with electronic controls, this 0.5-cubic-foot countertop convection toaster oven/broiler has room to toast four slices, roast a 4-1/2-pound chicken, bake a 9-inch pie, or broil several steaks. Because it circulates hot air, the 1500-watt oven cooks faster and more uniformly than a conventional oven. For easy cleaning, the interior is nonstick and a slide-out tray catches toast crumbs. The exterior is steel painted white. The oven measures 14 inches wide, 9-1/4 inches high, and 17 inches deep, weighs 20-1/2 pounds, and carries a three-year warranty against defects. It comes with a rack that fits in two positions and a baking pan with a broiler insert. For safety, the oven automatically shuts off after 4 hours.

A touchpad control panel runs the width of the oven and offers many options, including time and temperature, for all cooking methods. Toasting controls, for example, include buttons for number of items, defrosting, and bagels. Up to seven customized settings can be programmed into the toaster's memory so they can be conveniently recalled. Combining, say, the four-slice option, the defrost option, and the bagel option in the memory allows for defrosting and toasting four frozen bagel halves to a desired shade at the touch of a button without having to reprogram the toaster. --Fred Brack
Customer Review: Please read the manual.
This appliance does a lot of things. To do this the control choices can be complex. It is not an appliance that is intuitive to use in my opinion. That said, I have baked, convection baked, toasted, and broiled on this oven successfully. It fits my need of living as a single person in an apartment perfectly. READ THE MANUAL, don't just give it a quick overlook and dive in.
Broiling for example. Don't forget to do the warm up sequence with the door closed,(It will alarm when it hits broiling temperature) don't forget to put the 1/4 cup of water in the drip tray. Don't forget to open the door of the oven to the first 1 inch detent to vent the oven after you put the meat in. Don't forget to also set your timer for the amount of time to cook one side, flip your meat, then set the timer for the remaining time. This procedure is why there is not an automatic off for the broiling option. On the other hand, since it toasts both sides of the bread, it has a timing shut off function for toast.
Customer Review: Great product but hard to clean
Love the little oven and it really saves me from using my main oven for a household of 1 person. However, the white front edges to the opening got a permanent burnt color and the inside is incredibly hard to clean. The elements don't even pop out to help get access. Since I use this to broal steaks, I think I might have to replace it to keep a clean look in my white appliance kitchen. However, I wouldn't replace it with anything but another Cuisinart Toster oven.

Customer Review: avoid this product
This is a cheaply made, badly designed and completely unsatisfactory excuse for a toaster oven. Delonghi should be ashamed of producing it.
Customer Review: This toaster oven cannot make toast.
I returned 2 of them due to defective design. The first one that arrived had a defective knob which I would have had Delonghi replace but following the enclosed instructions for making toast, the lower element did not come on until well into the cycle so the top burned while the bottom was not toasted at all. I tried wheat bread, raisin bread and frozen waffles on several darkness settings and both rack positions. Although the unit seemed flimsy for $75 for a basic toaster oven, it was one of the few 4 slice (smaller) units and it looked OK on the counter so I had Amazon replace it. The toast function on second one was identical to the first so I returned it too. Delonghi is not a cheap brand; it should do better. Amazon should not carry this model.

DeLonghi XR640 Retro Toaster Oven

DeLonghi XR640 Retro Toaster Oven Capable of toasting up to six slices of bread at once as well as baking and broiling, this countertop toaster oven comes in handy for everything from breakfast to a midnight snack. It provides 1,500 watts of power for baking a cake in the 9-1/4-by-10-3/4-inch pan that's included, broiling a salmon steak on the baking pan's aluminum broil insert, or toasting a cheese sandwich on the oven's slide-out chrome rack. Both the baking pan and the oven's interior are coated in hard enamel that distributes heat evenly and cleans easily. One nice touch is a stay-cool rubber-handle tool that grips the rack so it can be removed without burning your fingers.

Customer Review: Great oven
I highly recommend this oven to anyone who wants a high quality toaster oven. When guests actually comment that your TOASTER OVEN is "very cool" - you have to laugh and say, "yeah, I know!" Not only does this toaster have the best looking, sleak design, it works even better. It has a larger than normal cooking space and I frequently use it for baking and broiling dinners for 2 instead of turning on my oven. It is also very accurate in temperature and I never worry about things being over or under cooked. It also broils perfectly. Very easy to clean with a removable bottom stainless tray that catches everything. This is THE toaster oven. I have other Delonghi counter appliances and like them as well - can't beat the upscale look and performance of their products.
Customer Review: Top Of The Line
A Top Of The Line product.Works perfectly.Keeps its like new condition after 2yrs of daily use.

The pizza stone works good for use in a small toaster oven or any small oven. The peel is useless, as it's not much bigger than a large spoon.

Hamilton Beach 31173 6 Slice Toaster Oven/Broiler

  • Fits 6 bread slices
  • Stainless steel exterior
  • Continuous clean interior
  • Removable crumb tray
  • Keep warm setting
  • Ready-bell timer
  • Broil grid and bake pan
    Customer Review: Great little oven!
    I have never owned a toaster oven but I am impressed by what they can do. It toasts better than my toaster. I have baked and toasted in it and so far everything has been great. The only thing I haven't tried yet is the broil option which I plan to try very soon. The color is great and very easy to clean. I am completely satisfied so far.
    Customer Review: Great Color!
    I wanted an appliance to match the others in my kitchen and this fit the bill perfectly. The red color matches my red Kitchen-Aid appliances, red RCA microwave, and red Hamilton Beach Eclectics coffee maker and toaster. It works very well. My only complaint is that it's difficult to see the settings on the knobs without bright light. So, in that sense, it is not particularly user friendly. I have to kind of "zoom" in close for anything more involved than toasting. It's easy to imagine screwing up. With each nob one must "align" things. I'm sure after it's used several more times I'll get used to it. I'm enjoying having a smaller appliance to cook, reheat and broil. Be wary that instructions will inform you to unplug after use and that it should not be operated under another appliance such as a microwave. Other than these, no complaints. Suits me just fine.

One removable/reversible chrome plated cooking rack and removable crumb tray for easy cleaning. 150??-450?? temperature range with cool touch handles and durable baking and broiler tray insert.
    Customer Review: So far, so great!
    With shipping and handling, the final price I paid OrangeOnions for this great little toaster oven was $83.00. That said...

    I ordered the unit on the evening of September 1st. The first model arrived somewhat damaged on September 4th. I contacted OrangeOnions on September 6th and they immediately shipped out another one. Great service from them. I look forward to dealing with them again.

    Second one arrived on September 11th(thanks OrangeOnions). The only defect was that a lens for the indicator light had popped out. I found it and popped it back in. Nuff said.

    Since then, the thing has worked great.

    Pros:
    * No problems with it yet.
    * It heats up very quickly and cooks a little quicker than our big oven.
    * It has good interior space - enough to hold a 9x7 Pyrex glass baking dish. It has the bow out in the back to allow it to accomodate the small frozen pizzas also.
    * The digital interface is very simple and my wife has had no problems with it.
    * It cooks on time and rings a bell when done.
    * Shuts down automatically.
    * Light stays on while cooking - making it easy to see the food without opening the door (could be considered a negative if you are concerned with energy consumption).

    Cons:
    * The unit is light (some may consider this a plus) and feels a little flimsy maybe, but I'm not giving it the bounce test. It does what it's supposed to do and does it at a good price.
    * I dont use these things for toasting, so I cannot speak to how well it would toast. Probably not that well if it compares to most toaster ovens.
    * The unit does get very hot on the outside - on top particularly - not a problem for me, but it may be for some. I tell my young son not to touch it because it gets hot. It is an oven. He has not burned himself yet.
    * Not a con per se, but I don't use the convection oven component and I have not used a convection oven before. Therefore I dont offer an opinion on the effectiveness of the convection oven feature.

    It took us a while to get in the habit of using this oven instead of the big oven. Now that we use this one almost exclusively, I am waiting curiously to see what impact this will have on our electric bill.....

    Regards,
    Dan
    Customer Review: Good Oven, Bad Controls
    This oven does a good job cooking food. It has a fan which allows it to be used as a convection oven and cook the food faster. There is a pan that is easy to clean.

    The controls are awful. The labels for the controls are beneath them, leading you to push the wrong buttons. The up and down buttons should be swapped. I'm not sure who designed this, but it's a pain to use. You need to scroll down to the oven selection you want (making sure to push the right buttons), then change the settings for that selection (again making sure to push the right buttons), then you can cook. What would have been nice (and they do this with their toaster) is to have a button for bake, a button for broil, a button for convection bake, a button for toast, etc. Then have buttons or a dial to change temp, time, etc. This has to be one of the worst interfaces I have ever seen while their toaster has one of the best. What's up Oster?

    Toaster Oven Baking Set

    Toaster Oven Baking Set This set of non-stick baking pans is perfectly sized to fit inside most toaster ovens.
    Set of 4: cookie sheet/baking pan, 6 cavity muffin pan, rectangular cake/brownie pan, and cooking rack.
    Dishwasher safe. 5 year limited warranty.
    Customer Review: great size
    Now that I am older and cooking for 1 (widowed and children all grown and gone)I needed some smaller size baking pans and these fill the bill nicely.
    I use them in the convection oven rather than a toaster oven.
    I highly recommend them.
    Customer Review: Finally, pans that work in my T-Fal.
    I love my T-Fal toaster/convection oven, but the curved design made it hard to find pans that fit. The measurements listed on other pans I bought only referred to the cooking area, not the whole pan. Nearly every one I found had a "lip" around it that prevented me from closing the door. I also found some of the materials to be flimsy.

    The Chicago Metallic Toaster Oven Baking Set fits perfectly and are as well-made as the full sized pans. I was pleased that the muffin tins were full sized, too. (I wouldn't mind if they made a mini-muffin tin, though!) I would certainly recommend this to anyone who uses their toaster oven!

    Customer Review: Great Toaster Oven
    I love this toaster oven. A 9 inch pan or pie plate fits perfectly for baking. Toast comes out just right. I haven't tried the rotisserie yet, but it looks easy to do. I recommend this to anyone looking for a toaster oven.
    Customer Review: This product is not built to last
    I've seen similar reviews on this product....that the top heating element fails within about a year's time. This is a design flaw. I've also heard that there is no way to get a replacement part.

    I would not recommend this product unless you want a toaster oven that only lasts about a year.

    Black & Decker 4-Slice Convection Toaster Oven - White

    Black & Decker 4-Slice Convection Toaster Oven - White 4-Slice capacity. Bakes. Toasts. Top Browns/Defrosts.
    Customer Review: So far so good!!
    I purchased this toaster oven over a month ago for my worksite. So far it's performed well. At first finding the write setting for toastin bread was a little tricky, but once found it worked great. Haven't done any cooking with it. But as far as warming up food, or frozen foods has performed well. Easy to clean. Big knobs are also a plus, have a rugged feel to them.
    Customer Review: Great Find
    I had the standard Toaster oven by GE finally went on me.
    I asked my daughter to help me find one that was just simple, no flashy extras. Just a timer,heat setting and oven or toast selector can't get much simpliar than that. Very well designed, and has replaced my oven completely. Some people may not like the sound of the ticking of the timer, but personally it's a good reminder it's on. Also you can only set the timer up until an hour and to me that is a good function also cause I don't think you would or should use this to replace and oven for long time cooking.

    Customer Review: Runs Very Hot
    My toaster oven runs very hot, probably 125 to 150 degrees over the thermostat setting. This is an inexpensive oven, and clearly the quality is low. It is a reminder that you get what you pay for.
    Customer Review: wire tray does not slide in & out of toaster without assistance.
    The wire tray is designed to slide in & out of the toster with the help of TWO metal hooks, one on each side of the door. ONE hook is missing on my toaster so I have to use my finger to push the tray slightly into the body of the toaster before the door will close. I have burnt my fingers doing this !

      Customer Review: "It's dead Jim"
      Today my Oster died. It was 8 months old. It caught fire internally when I tried to heat up some toquitos. The flames were coming near where the chord entered the chassie. I think it committed suicide with the intention of taking me and my family with it. I wish I could say it lived a good life...but alas I cannot. The controls were so frustating and non-intuitive. Making toast took twice as long as it should have. It's default setting completely burns the toast. I'm happy it died. RIP.



      Customer Review: Best toaster oven I have ever had
      We bought this great convection toaster oven about ten months ago for $60. It gets daily usage for toast, heating food, and cooking food, all with excellent results. Even pizza and baking cookies! One tip for the best results is to always be mindful of the position of the rack. For instance, for toast always be sure the rack is positioned so that the bread is the same distance between the top and bottom elements. For pizza I find moving it up a notch is better.

      This unit makes the most evenly toasted toast that I've experienced in a toaster oven. And the electronic button for selecting doneness is pretty accurate.

      I agree with other reviewers that the controls could have been made more user friendly, but after using it for a couple of weeks I got used to all of the settings and best temperatures to use, and now it's second nature. One thing that I still have a problem with, however, is that you have to press off twice to turn the oven off, just once puts it on pause. My husband has accidentally left it on a couple of times, but it will go off when the timer runs out.

      The only other negative is that when you pull something out to reposition food, etc. the tray kind of collapses down unexpectedly so if you're not careful you can get burned, or your food can come flying out at you.

      All in all this is a great oven for all of the purposes it's meant for. If it weren't for the couple of things I mentioned I would give it five stars.

    Cuisinart TTOB-30BW Toaster Oven/Broiler

    Cuisinart TTOB-30BW Toaster Oven/Broiler Contemporary styling and up-to-the-minute cooking technology make this Cuisinart Classic toaster oven a welcome workhorse in the kitchen. Built with a 0.5-cubic-foot interior, the 1500-watt oven toasts bread, bakes cookies, broils fish, and browns casseroles without heating up the kitchen. The oven holds up to a 5-pound chicken, six slices of bread, or a 9-inch pie, and the temperature settings range from 200 to 500 degrees F. Toasting controls include automatic temperature adjustment for perfect results, batch after batch, and an audible tone upon completion. With its black wrinkle exterior and tinted glass door, the oven is both streamlined and low-profile. The control panel is straightforward with three separate dials for temperature, function, and shade control. The oven's interior, complete with two rack positions and a rack safety stop, is lined with an easy-to-clean nonstick surface. The rack, crumb tray, and chrome-plated steel broiler pan are all dishwasher-safe. The oven measures a tidy 14.8 by 18.8 by 11.3 inches. Cuisinart includes automatic shut-off for safety and a three-year warranty against defects. --Emily Bedard
    Customer Review: Unreliable, potentially unsafe.
    We've had similar problems with our Cuisinart TOB-30W as the other reviewers. We owned our first unit for two years before it started crackling and sparking when we turned it to Bake. Then it finally stopped working. Cuisinart replaced it with a brand new unit that lasted only one year before it started doing the same. They told us the three year warranty was not renewed when we received the new unit, so now they aren't able to help us. It appears that we're probably safer without the toaster oven based on the other reviews here.
    Customer Review: worked great for awhile
    I bought this last year for a summer cabin, so it has only been used periodically over a total span of six months. Suddenly the thing refuses to turn off. We noticed this when the smoke alarm went off last night! It only turns off when unplugged. Not only that, the top unit stopped working completely so all we can do is bake. It was great while it lasted, but I read these same complaints in other reviews so this is evidently a glitch in this particular model. I don't recommend.

Handy broiler for cooking versatility. Removable crumb tray for easy cleanup. Bake pan is great for cooking or warming biscuits, rolls, sandwiches or leftovers. White This item will take 2-3 weeks to ship. Shipments cannot be expedited on this item. .
    Customer Review: good value
    I'm a bit surprised by some of the negative reviews here. This is a great (and roomy) toaster oven, especially for a $25.00 price tag. Makes great toast and is great for warming up leftovers. The timer is easy to understand and use. It's a great value for the money.
    Customer Review: Too hot to handle
    The back and top got so hot that they could not be touched, which worried me that overheating could occur if someone placed anything on top of the unit (a hot mitt or cookbook) or even pushed it against the wall too tightly. Because of concern for use by children and/or fire hazard, I had to return this item.

    Chicago Metallic Gourmetware 2-Piece Toaster Oven/Broiler Pan

    Chicago Metallic Gourmetware 2-Piece Toaster Oven/Broiler Pan A toaster oven should do more than toast bagels. With the Chicago Metallic broiler pan, the toaster oven reaches its potential by broiling meats, roasting potatoes, and baking a mini batch of cookies. The pan measures 10-1/4 by 7-1/4 inches and 3/4 inch deep--just right for single-serving sizes. It is durably constructed of aluminized steel for the long-lasting usage that professional cooks love and has a nonstick surface for the quick cleanup that home cooks need. The rack nestles inside the pan, but can be used separately as a cooling rack for cookies. --Lynne Sampson
    Customer Review: Gift
    I bought this as a gift for someone who wanted one. I did not read carefully and it is a bit smaller that I expected but fits a steak or a couple of burgers. She says it is well made and cleans easily.
    Customer Review: Small pan but tough in action.
    I bought this pan set to use with my new Cuisinart toaster oven. It's a nice, sturdy set. I've use it several times and I am quite happy with it's performance. I intend on purchasing another one.

    Regarding it's size, even knowing the stated measurements beforehand, for some reason it still seemed smaller than I anticipated. Or maybe it's that I am not used to toaster oven size pans. The size is fine for me as I generally just cook for myself. However, fitting large portions on it would be a problem. Two pork chops is all you are going to fit on it. FYI.
