Review on 🍞 BLACK+DECKER TO3250XSB 8-Slice Extra Wide Convection Countertop Toaster Oven with Bake Pan, Broil Rack, and Toasting Rack - Stainless Steel/Black by Terry Looks

The convection function is HUGE. A big thank you to Black and Decker for providing 12 inch pizza size toasters under $70. Convection ovens make countertop ovens bearable - we use ours instead of a built-in under-deck oven to save energy. Heat. Without the convection function, cooking takes much longer and the plate is more likely to scorch due to the quartz jet heating elements. Normally we can last a maximum of 2 years as one of these. This is our fault, we drop drips on the lower quartz rods. After all, there is no way to clean a heat shield. If you are careful you can easily get 5 years. Then you may have problems with the storage of the convection fan, oven. weak point. The convection function also shortens the warm-up time. We use ours for banana bread (a mix from Trader Joe's), cook half a turkey breast (4 times last Thanksgiving - I love turkey, my family hates it so I buy fresh at Trader Joe's every week in November of each year), make whole Packs (Trader Joe's Joe size packs, not giant packs) of chicken drumsticks. For meat, we turn it on at maximum power, without turning off the convection fan and without switching to frying mode. I think this works 50-75% cool based on the pizza cook times listed on the pizza boxes and our actual cook times. This is normal for us. The top gets hot enough to melt the plastic wrap — we foolishly left some wrapped groceries on top — but once we realize it's within reach, it always gets so hot outside the kid doesn't have time to remove it . or burn her hand. All in all, under $70 is a good price.
