Luby Extra Large Toaster OvenUPDATE July 24, 2022. After two years and 3 months my Luby toaster oven died. Within that same time period I had previously gone through two other toaster ovens mostly due to the use of internal plastic holders for the on/off knob. After a period of heat exposure, the ovens simply would not stay off, flipping back on faster than I could turn them off. Except for the fact the temperature apparently hadn’t been calibrated (I use a oven thermometer so that worked for me) I loved the Luby oven and used it more than once a day. I even roasted a turkey in it.Some reviewers recently complained about the rack not holding dishes being baked so they fell. Even for the first Luby I inserted both racks into the same slot since I’d probably never need to use them separately and I never had that problem, not even with the heavy turkey. BTW they now pack the crumb tray for the bottom along with the roasting pan and racks since apparently some reviewers missed the place in front to lift the bottom up for cleaning in the first Luby’s shipped out.Anyway, when the Luby died, I didn’t hesitate to order another one. I always open such large unwieldy items over the bed and guess what? The entire bottom seam was smashed in along the bottom and the back. The deepest spot of the indent was 3″ deep. The seam had completely pulled apart in that spot and was sharp. I took photos which I am sending in to Amazon tonight because this oven had to be packed with that extensive damage. A whollop creating that much damage would have wrecked the box into smithereens which was pristine so yes it had to be packed with that damage. The bottom and back are also metal so that brand new Luby oven took quite an impact to sustain damage that extensive.Amazon as usual with their excellent customer service replaced the oven which I’ve now used successfully for over a week but I’ve kept the box just in case. Here’s the thing though. I read a lot of reviews and more and more often reviewers are complaining about receiving damaged and/or dirty or deceptive items. I’ve shopped at Amazon since the mid 90’s–back when everyone snickered that a book store would never work on-line. I watched fascinated as Jeff Bezos built an empire that is depended on world wide. I along with so many others happily shop here all the time.I mention this history and the reviews because it is time that manufacturers of products and retailers like Amazon that sell those products demand that damaged items like that oven are no longer shipped into the country. Putting a brand new oven of this size into a land fill should never, ever happen. There is no excuse whatsoever for packing an item with the extensive damage that Luby oven had going on. It is wasteful of materials, time, money and creates a great deal of mistrust especially of imported items. That damaged oven broke my heart for a while. Seriously.The new Luby is shiny with new knobs but otherwise works and looks the same. The temps are more accurate than on the previous oven. Hopefully this new oven will give me the good service that the dead one did and if it does, then I’d order another Luby in a nano second. Just please everyone stop packing and shipping into the country damaged items.I took off stars for the damage but the oven itself is a 5-star item. I really love it and enjoy using it!PREVIOUS REVIEW: Since I only use toaster ovens for baking and am of the opinion that most toaster ovens try to do too many things, I was happy to find this Luby. Not only is it especially built to bake, it is huge, easily holding a small turkey. What an asset this oven would be to families cooking over the holidays or wanting to bake a dish in their regular oven and a cake or dish in the Luby. Or, as in my case, to do all their baking in it since toaster ovens are a thousand times cooler to use than a stove oven especially in the summer. They heat up quicker and cool down faster as well.This oven looks nice too and actually looks more expensive than it is. The two doors open independently of each other and mine stay open regardless of position but certainly stay open when pulled totally to the side. Having them open to the side is preferable to having the door drop down which takes up counter space. I found the instruction booklet to be too skimpy since this oven is different from most. It has a knob for both the top burner and the lower burner. So, then, to bake a cake should one place the rack in the center of the oven like one would do in a stove oven and turn on both burners? Not clear in the manual so I set out to experiment.On the Luby using both burners at the same temperature means the oven is 50 degrees hotter than that chosen on both knobs. That is according to the oven temp gauge I’ve used for years. There is no way to know if it runs hot due to both burners being on or if the oven temp is off. Regardless, continuing my experiment, I’ve learned where to set the temp knobs to get the desired cooking temp. The temp gauges are marked off every 50 degrees. When I want 425, a popular baking temp, I found that spot and marked it off with a permanent marker. If that wears off, I’ll use some acrylic paint! (Yes, this oven is worth the additional effort!)To all those complaining about not getting a crumb tray, indeed there is a tray included. It fits so well that it looks like the bottom of the oven but there is a small lever in the front to lift it up and out of the oven. The roasting pan and the two racks that come with the oven are good quality especially for a toaster oven. At present, rather than storing one rack, I’m using both of them, one on top of the other, in the middle slot. They hold a lot of weight without feeling flimsy. The roasting tray is stored for future use. It is heavy anough to hold that small turkey and is nicely enameled.As to the top and sides getting hot, IMO this oven gets no hotter than any other toaster oven I’ve owned. In fact, the door to my stove oven gets too hot to touch as well so over the years I’ve attempted to only touch handles regardless of which oven I’m using (notice I said attempted LOL). I do have it sitting on glass and have glass on top for safety reasons as I have for all my toaster ovens. This oven does not have a light but few I’ve owned have had lights. Usually toaster ovens are placed on counters where there is sufficient light in the room to look into the oven so personally I do not consider the lack of a light a negative as some might.One probably could toast in this oven while it’s preheating but I can’t speak to that as I gave up years ago on trying to toast in these ovens as I was spending so much time trying to get toast “just right” that I broke down and bought an old-timey regular toaster! So far I’ve baked two pizzas, a cake, biscuits twice, a tray of cookies and cornbread in the Luby and all cooked perfecting by checking the temp with my temp gauge before placing the items in the oven. I’ve baked frozen fries and warmed up left-overs in it, also with great success.I’ve saved the best for last! There is no stay-on sticker on the oven so most of us assumed we had to use the timer when baking. That was driving me crazy and I was actually considering sending this oven back when I made a remarkable discovery! When turning the timer off one night the knob moved slightly to the left after the ding sounded. Okay. So then why did that happen? I turned the timer knob to the left so that it was pointing at the little stamp that says “timer” and guess what!! The oven stayed on. And on. For over an hour. So folks, we indeed do have a stay-on function on this oven. Thank goodness because I really liked it otherwise. Now I love itI have no idea why the manufacturer removed the stay-on sticker from the oven (some posters say they saw pics of such a sticker) and instead put a timer sticker there because having the oven stay stay on is a real asset. Using the stay-on function means I can set a personal timer and carry it to whichever room I choose to be in while the oven bakes. Otherwise, having to keep re-setting the timer every 60 minutes when baking a chicken, roast or whatever is frustrating. Hopefully, the stay-on sticker will be placed back on the oven where the timer sticker is now. Final thought, this oven is relatively light weight considering its size so that for those wanting an oven to use for special occasions then packing it up would be very doable until the next special occasion.I’ve owned far too many toaster ovens in recent years as I suspect not enough metal parts and too much plastic is being used in them now which wears down after a year or so due to the extreme heat inside the oven. So here’s hoping this oven will hold up because it fits my needs perfectly. It looks good and bakes as it should once I set up the temp. I struggled with how many stars to give it because so many qualities about it deserves a 5 but since this oven is not the traditional do-everything kind of toaster oven, I expected more from the manual. After using it for a while longer, perhaps I’ll come back and add the final star (or any additional thoughts I may have). For now though, I’m totally happy with this oven!

I like the oven but dislike that it does not have the “Stay on” timer feature shown in a pic.This thing is a beast… and that’s a good thing because we’re looking to cut down on using the range oven. After burning ourselves numerous times, having a drop-down door eat up available counter space and constantly fighting with getting the a tray or casserole dish out of our Waring Pro WTO450 it was time for a change. We figured if there was lost counter space it might as well be for a bigger oven than a drop down door that was bothersome. The capacity in this oven is enormous compared to a standard size toaster oven and with the added capacity we can do more with it and less with our electric range… which literally just burned through another heating element. We didn’t want convection, a drop down door, an electronic touchpad or to pay anywhere near 200-bucks so it was a limited field and this one fit our search criteria. It was a somewhat reluctant purchase and an Oster with convection heating was the alternative but we’re at a high altitude so convection wasn’t really needed and that left few choices with French doors and non-convection. This is a counter hog but since the doors swing open it’s a minor issue but my major issue is that the timer must be on for it to operate even though the pic showed a timer dial with a “Stay on” setting that ours doesn’t have so a loud timer must be on to use it and if the timer fails the oven is non-operational. I’ll likely install an on/off toggle switch to bypass the timer because I doubt returning it for this reason would result in a replacement with the timer feature I thought I was getting. The major pluses, for us anyway, is that the doors open out (and we can open just one at a time) and the upper & lower elements have their own temperature settings… or you can just use whichever one you prefer. The handle for the grill and pan is a nice touch so we no longer have to reach into the over to grab something while using bulky mitts and then fighting to get it out like we did with the Waring… which taxed our patience and that led to burns. For its size, it’s rather lightweight and we tried it on our island with a Formica countertop but it slid so easily I could see dinner going off the side and onto the floor with just a small push. I’m building a small stand to place it on to have some counter space underneath and will add some rubber feet to keep it in place. It’s hard to please everyone with a single appliance but this was relatively inexpensive compared to most of the alternatives and ours has a removable sheet on the bottom that collects crumbs so I’m calling it a crumb tray. The dials are hard to read since the pointer is just an arrow that’s the same color as the dial face. As usual, instructions are vague or nebulous (like put the rack in the center position when there’s only 4-options so there’s not one that’s in the center) and it’s not mentioned if it’s best to bake with both the upper & lower elements on for a more consistent bake. It also doesn’t heat/bake evenly but that’s the same with our stove oven but the pre-heat time is much quicker. It gets too hot to place your hand on the top but the sides aren’t too bad and it’s pretty much the same thing with most other countertop ovens/toasters we’ve had previously. At 400-degress ours showed 375-degress on two different oven thermometers but that’s close enough and since the doors have a gap in the middle and don’t seal tightly they are likely like that so the glass doesn’t overheat. It’s really not a good toaster though it’ll get the job done but it takes a long time to heat up to the point that it’s actually toasting something. My biggest peeve is that the timer dial controls the on/off process and it really should have been incorporated into the dials for the elements since it’s lacking the “Stay on” feature. Once this is on a counter there’s very little room left in front of it and what is left is pretty much unusable. The doors do stay open but the handles are not even with each other. Though there’s nothing that says “broil” on it that can be accomplished by using just the upper elements; and ours has a crumb tray (I’m still not sure what all those no crumb tray reviews meant… were they expecting a separate tray or missing the bottom inside plate) so that cuts down a lot of unfavorable reviews. I don’t “Love it” but I’ll stay with 5-stars despite my issues with the timer functioning as the on/off switch. We’ve done bread, toast, bagels, English muffins and a fruit pie in it, so far, and no complaints with the finished products.Lastly, as we grow older bending down and reaching over the door to our range made pulling out the large cast iron casserole pot not only difficult but it was hard to not burn a mitt on the upper element so this makes it a lot easier and the entire oven doesn’t lose all the heat that takes about 30-minutes of pre-heat to achieve. After all the money I’ve dropped on appliances in the past 60-years I’ll be happy if it still works in a few years and it’ll take some strain off my range oven that gets limited use but still pops an element every few years. It would be nice if it had an on/off switch and an interior light but it is what it is and there’s no reason to knock off stars for it.

Very nice ovenThis oven came in a large box very well packaged. Took it out of the box I was amazed by it very large and works very well I made a roast green bean casserole and carrots in it and it was so pleased with how well it cooked. Very glad of this purchase. My husband even said wow this is a really nice oven ,would I buy it again yes definitely.

Works well but…My wife found if you are standing and looking down on the temperature knobs the setting looks higher then it actual is because of the thickness of the knobs. While Looking straight in ,at the knob level, they can be set correctly. Also I found placing a permanent bar magnet at the door hinge keeps the door open.

A year later and an update. [Wonderful Oven I am so glad I got it.] This is not a convection ovenUPDATE: August 02, 2022Removed 1 star because of durabilityI have had this oven about 14 months now. I have used this at least twice a week since we got it. It worked great, I baked everything in it, except it just wouldn’t cook baked potatoes in a reasonable amount of time for some reason.Anyway, about the first week in July 2022, I noticed that things weren’t cooking properly, so I did the normal, added time and turned up the heat.I have now used an oven thermometer and with the oven set at 475, both top and bottom, the oven is only reaching 350. I still use it because most of what I use it for cooks at 350, but I have made adjustments to what I cook in it.When I found this oven, I was looking for a convection oven. I am so glad I got this instead. This is a great oven. It is large enough to use regular size pans (cookie sheets, cake pans etc.) I bake at the same temp and time as in my regular oven. You can set the timer or set it to stay on. I like the timer feature. I have this in my pantry; that is part of an enclosed porch; so I can use it without heating the whole house.I saw in some of the reviews that the shelves were flimsy and broke, but they are as good as any in the other counter ovens I have used. What seems to be the problem with them is that they are slightly too short for the length of the oven. I was thinking of maybe wrapping the ends with foil and see if that helped, but I haven’t done it yet. Because they are short, the racks will sometimes come out and drop when you try to take something out of the oven, so make sure and have a good oven mitt or holder.The right hand door tends to close about half way when you are taking stuff out. I got a short bungee cord and hooked it to a handle on the counter I have and when I open the oven door, I open the right side first and catch it with the bungee, no problem.It is probably big enough to cook a turkey in, but I really don’t think I would. With something that big and heavy, I am pretty sure the racks would drop out of the slots when you tried to take the pan out. I have cooked a large roast in it though.Another thing is that not all of temperature settings are marked. It is marked in 100 degree increments, starting at 150. 150, 250. 350 & 450. So when I need 375, I figure about a fourth of the distance between 350 & 450. It has worked so far. If you are really concerned, get an oven thermometer.Reading back over this, this sounds like a negative review, but it isn’t really, I just listed the things I have noticed I have had to deal with. On the up side, it seems to cook at the correct temps and for the correct length of time. I didn’t have to buy special pans to fit it, it runs on 110 current and doesn’t trip my breakers in my old house. The time feature is great, because I don’t always hear the ding. When it is done, the oven shuts off if you use the timer.When you set the heat, the oven won’t come on until the either the timer is set, or the setting is set to stay on. I think that is suppose to be a safety feature.

Nice Large SzFirst let me tell you I love this LUBY Large Toaster Oven!! I can cook just about anything I would Cook in a conventional oven from Pizza to a nice large Turkey. Controls are easy to regulate. Timer is very easy to understand. The only thing I do not love about this Oven is you must be very careful with the doors they do not lock in position and can easily swing to your hands when very hot. But after a couple times use I got good at protecting myself from the swing hot doors. Except for this problem I would highly recommend the LUBY Large Toaster Oven.

Great oven but…UPDATE: I’m making quiches today… I pre-bake the pie crusts. As I pulled the rack out, the pie crusts both slid off the back of the rack!!! The slide that holds the rack doesn’t go all the way through!!! There are two separate parts that hold the rack but they’re not continuous. Took a star off. Still a good machine, just don’t pull the rack out with food on it!I got this a couple of days ago. It’s beautiful. I fix my dogs meat every night and my other one had gotten really gross but it had lasted and still was in good condition as far as function… but this! I can see everything going on in the oven:) it’s really big but fit on a microwave double level stand beautifully. Mine does have the ‘stay on’ function. The controls are easily read for these older eyes. I get to choose upper or lower heat elements just by choosing which knob I use. So so happy with this! And it has a really classy look

I’ll enjoy cookingMy oven came with a dent to the side but overall must buy

Perfect! No electronics inside.The best thing about this oven is it has nothing at all electronic in it. Mechanical thermostats turn it on and off. It has separate knobs for top and bottom heating elements, each with its own thermostat.But for baking you will want to keep an oven thermometer in it, because the markings around the knobs are only approximate. And keep firebricks inside, for thermal mass, when not using it as a toaster.

Takes longer to cook than what foods call for.The picture appears to make you think there’s a light.There is no light.You have to open the doors and pull out just to see how to check.It is easy to use though.
