Cuisinart TOB-260N1 Chef’s Convection Toaster Oven, 20.87″(L) x 16.93″(W) x 11.42″(H), Stainless Steel Import To Shop ×Product

Lives up to it’s number 1 review on WireCutter. A great appliance.I am thrilled with this oven. It looks good, and, even better, It comes with a Pizza Stone and a nice enameled bake/broiler pan (2 piece). I baked a cobbler, baked a pizza on the stone, made rolls, cooked frozen, breaded, fish filets, chicken nuggets, broccoli casserole, made toast, toasted bagels and English muffins, made toasted sandwiches and all have turned out perfectly. The thermostat is accurate, the timer is accurate and the modes bake, broil, convection (2 levels), adjustment for cooking refrigerated or frozen foods. Just amazing and all with a three year warranty. This does not have an official setting for air frying, but the convection oven high speed air fries better than my stand-alone air fryer. I wish they had included a wire basket and crumb catcher and an actual setting for air frying, but it works great and you can read all about how to use it on Wirecutter. Oh yeah, It also fits regular size quarter sheet pans and 9×11 casseroles and up to a 12 inch pizza which cooks perfectly fresh or frozen. It also dehydrates, reheats, warms, etc., etc. Love this thing. You killed it Cuisenart! Designed and sourced in USA. Assembled in China.

Best. Appliance. Ever! Cook complete, delicious meals in 20 min & no dishes to wash.This IS an air fryer! The words air fryer just mean EXTRA HOT heat and a FAN that circulates the heat. Thats it. This is an extra hot convection oven that requires no pre-heating (full size ovens take 15-25 min to pre-heat).This Cuisinart Chef’s is an “oven style” air fryer (it’s bigger so it can hold decent amount of food, and has shelves) versus the “bucket style” air fryer (which are compact size, and doesn’t hold much food, and you can only cook one food item at a time). I did not like having to cook one food item, then cook the 2nd food item, then the 3rd with my bucket style air fryer. With the Cuisinart Chef’s oven I can cook all the food at a one time.This IS an air fryer – however because the words “air fryer” had not yet been invented at the time they started marketing it, that is the only reason the word “air fryer” is not included in it’s name. It is all an air fryer oven, it’s just not named an air fryer.This is the absolute best appliance I’ve ever purchased. If you read Cook’s Illustrated reviews, Wire cutter reviews, and most other reviews etc. you will find that it is fantastic. Leaps and bounds better then all other air fryers (except perhaps the Breville, but it costs $200 more). This maintains a perfectly consistent temperature. It heats up in no time. It cooks food in no time. It holds two shelves full of food – two 9×12” pans.I prepare an entire meal – meat, vegetables, potatoes at the same time – and is done in less then 20 min. It has completely changed how I prepare meals. Quick, easy, healthy, fantastic.On Shop HQ I purchased Paula Deen’s “5-Piece Air Fryer Oven Basket” that comes with 4 mesh baskets about 12”x 10” for $25 and they are perfect.! I bought two more of these sets but I think they’re now sold out. However Amazon has similar sized mesh baskets for sale, a bit more expensive, but they are WELL, WELL, WELL worth the convenience!I painted the labels on the buttons of the oven with clear fingernail polish the day I got it, so the words don’t wear off, because I read that people said that has happened. It worked perfect.I use “bake” to cook frozen Costco wild salmon fillets and they’re delicious. I did purchase a high end, leave-in-the-food-while-its-cooking thermostat that beeps when the salmon is the temp I desire. And Costco’s Marie Callander chicken pot pies on “bake” result in flaky crispy perfect crust – unlike the nasty crust in a microwave – never been a fan of microwaves for many reasons, and they consistently are delicious (although not especially healthy). Costco Panko shrimp or coconut shrimp it is super easy and very tasty.Every meal I fill 1-2 Paula Deen baskets full of Costco organic veggies: asparagus, baby potatoes, mushrooms, slices of onions, baby carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, etc. They don’t really need oil or even salt or pepper, but you can add if you like. I’ve filled a metal baking dish with organic refried beans, a scoop of corn, some onions, cheese and heated it in the air fryer, then top with salsa and sour cream.By the way, Nachos are a breeze. But note: if you use a Pyrex dish, make sure the air fryer has ALREADY Pre-heated BEFORE inserting the Pyrex – it only takes 2 to 3 minutes. You do not want to put a Pyrex dish into it while the oven is still coming to full temperature because the temp while pre-heating can be be too hot and too inconsistent for glass or Pyrex dishes.I cannot say enough wonderful things about my Cuisinart chefs convection oven. I am buying a second one for my cabin. I think it is the best appliance I’ve ever purchased.

Perfect for a house of 2! Save money on Gas!For households of less than 4, I think this is genuinely the ultimate all in one cooking appliance. Running my natural gas oven (which is gonna be unusually expensive this year) to cook dinner for myself and my partner is terribly wasteful. It takes forever to heat up, and then I only use a tiny portion of its massive volume. This toaster oven heats up fast, has convection, and produces way better results, all without dumping tons of CO2 (and god knows what other combustion products) into my house.Did you know that CO2 levels over 1000 ppm make you ~15% dumber? With this, no extra CO2 in the home, and no opening windows to get it out, which will keep the heat inside my home and save me even more money this winter.

One Terrific MachineI did a ton of research before buying this oven. I’d had a Black & Decker for years that I loved, but it began to malfunction, and I reluctantly knew I needed to buy another large countertop oven.I use my countertop oven constantly–far more than my regular one, actually. There are two of us, and I find it ideal for most meal prep.I’d read the reviews about the door not closing properly, how hot the oven becomes on the outside, how the paint comes off the buttons, etc. But it seemed overall to be the best and most dependable choice. So I sprung for it.I love it.The first thing I did was to apply clear nail polish to the buttons before I even used it. Problem solved. I’ve never had a smidge of issue with the buttons or their paint coming off.The door was adjusted fine. At first I was curious, because it appeared to be slightly away from the oven body when shut, but that was not an issue whatsoever. No heat escaped. It was evenly closed. It works perfectly fine.And the heat issue–I’d read how people burned themselves on the door handle and so forth–honestly, I have never had a problem with the heat at all. Does the top get hot? Of course–it’s an oven. Do I ensure to pull it forward to the front edge of the countertop and out from under the overhead cabinets? Of course. Does it heat up my kitchen? Nope. Can I put things on top of the oven while it’s in use? Yes. I put the extra rack and extra broiler rack that I ordinarily store inside the oven on the top when I remove them to use it. They are all metal. It’s no big deal.This oven heats up incredibly fast–within 3 minutes or so. It actually cooks faster than my other oven or previous B&D did (I check my recipes about 5-10 minutes earlier now). The heat seems even and steady.What I love about it: (1) The internal light is wonderful. (2) The interior is large enough for most daily needs and for baking quick breads (banana bread, zucchini bread) and the like. (3) It’s an attractive piece of equipment to have on the counter in the kitchen. (4) It offers a number of cooking settings on the dial as well as the ability to customize to what you want. (4) It comes with two racks that can be placed in any of four positions, two of which will pull out when you open the door.What I’d improve: (1) The timer theoretically “rings” when it has preheated or is finished cooking. Are you kidding me? That “ring” is barely a whisper. The sound level of the timer definitely should be hugely amplified for anyone more than 1 foot away to hear it in a silent room. (2) There should be an independent, manual “Preheat” setting offered that doesn’t impact the cooking time. I have to add extra minutes to the cooking time to account for my food prep, and then I set a separate timer (and one that I can hear!) once I put the food into the oven for when the food will be finished. That’s a small inconvenience, but it would be nice if the oven provided it. The first improvement with the ring is the most important. (3) For some reason I read that the manufacturer says not to use glass in the oven, but instead to use metal. I’d gotten rid of most of my metal in favor of glass for my gas oven and my microwave, so I had to buy new cookware for this one. It’s not the worst thing in the world, but it did cost me some extra money just for this Cuisinart.I’ve used this oven daily now for a couple of months. I’d recommend it in a heartbeat to someone who wants a quality appliance that will enhance and expand their cooking capabilities. It’s a fine piece of equipment.

The best toaster oven I ever ownefLOVE this toaster oven! It makes perfect toast and is a great oven with room to cook an entire meal. Heats up quickly. The controls are easy to use and read. Best one ever!
