About Cuisinart TOB-260N1 Chef's Convection Toaster Oven
Overall Feedback:
70% positive
72% found maintenance easy, yet 28% struggled
If I don't clean the toaster-oven thoroughly after every use, it won't get truly clean.
I found the toaster-oven to be embarrassingly dirty and difficult to clean. The instructions prohibit the use of regular oven cleaners and dismantling the interior is not an option. Even removing the glass for cleaning would be helpful.
I tried cleaning the toaster oven with dish soap but it did not work. Upon revisiting the product manual, I found that only mild dish soap should be used as anything abrasive will damage the non-stick finish. This shows my negative feedback with respect to the cleaning and maintenance feature of the toaster oven.
Cleaning the toaster-oven is difficult and over the years it has resulted in a crudded up mess. Although most of it can be cleaned, there are too many nooks and crannies to get to while working around the heating elements to ever be 100% clean.
77% were satisfied with the toasting performance
The toaster-oven takes a few minutes longer to toast, but it toasts way better.
The convection and speed convection settings work like an air fryer, helping to crisp certain foods and cook them faster.
74% appreciated the heating elements, although 26% found flaws
I checked the heating temperatures after facing overbrowning issues. The actual temperature was found to be 50 degrees hotter and even initially rose to 75 degrees hotter right after preheating for 350 degrees.
The toaster-oven was not insulated properly and heated the counter and kitchen cabinets around it. The plug would heat up while connected to the outlet and I would commonly smell a burning plastic smell when using it.
80% liked the temperature control, yet 20% faced difficulties
The right side of the toaster oven barely gets hot.
I baked diced squash and roasted eggplant in the oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, but it was more steamed than baked and wasn't hot. I tried baking it again for another 15 minutes, but it still wasn't hot enough. This shows that I have faced issues with the temperature control of the toaster-oven while cooking vegetables.
