Review on Efficient and Stylish: πŸ”₯ Betty Crocker BC-1664CB Toaster Oven, Black by Roosevelt Weaver

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Do ovens and toasters work well?

I'm happy with it, although to be honest I was willing to give two stars or less when I first got it. Luckily I did my homework beforehand. It replaces a significantly more powerful (and larger) model from another brand for me, and at first I thought that it was definitely not getting up to temperature. I thought it was at least 50 degrees but found an oven thermometer to confirm my suspicions. Result? This is almost a point temperature regime. I will say that in my opinion this oven has less radiant heat than some of the larger ovens, I think it's mainly heated by convection (ie the hot air inside). So you may end up having to increase the temperature a bit to get the same cooking speed. Otherwise, I find the thing amazing: a nice and compact "footprint" on the counter (in fact, the entire "leg" is compact, only eight or nine inches high. I like the simplicity of the controls - excellent (albeit a bit short duration) 30 minute timer with low glare and the precise temperature control mentioned above. That's turn it off more often to avoid overheating or anything like that. I don't use it for toasting so can't comment on that aspect. Nice looking unit, beautiful workmanship.

Pros

Cons
