Cuisinart TOB-195 Convection Toaster Oven

The Cuisinart TOB-195 Convection Toaster Oven is praised in both professional and user reviews for its ability to cook a variety of dishes and its fast and even cooking. The TOB-195 boasts a convection fan that users say is quiet and effective -- cooking food faster than standard ovens. Reviewers also like the non-stick interior walls, which make cleanup a breeze. The Cuisinart has four cooking functions, namely bake, broil, toast and convection, each of which performs excellently according to reviewers. Experts say it does a good job of maintaining accurate temperatures but point out that the exterior gets very hot. Owners recommend using an oven mitt when opening and closing the oven door. Many users also praise the Cuisinart's ability to toast bread better than other toaster ovens. Although it is expensive, many owners say it is worth the price. If you prefer a more affordable convection toaster oven, the Hamilton Beach 31197R Countertop Oven (*Est. $75) also does well in user reviews.
