Hamilton Beach Set & Forget 31230

The Hamilton Beach Set & Forget 31230 earns praise among professional reviewers for its low price, even cooking and toasting, and ample capacity. This affordable convection toaster oven offers digital controls, a meat probe to ensure safe temperatures, a baking pan, broil rack and slide-out crumb tray. Owners like the auto-shift function, which transitions to a warming setting after time or temperature has been reached to avoid overcooking. The Hamilton Beach Set & Forget 31230 can toast up to six slices of bread at a time and can accommodate a 12-inch pizza or a 7-pound chicken. Some owners mention the preset temperature settings, which limit users to certain settings without the ability to adjust to in-between temperatures. Unlike the Hamilton Beach Toastation Toaster & Oven 22703H (*Est. $40) , it doesn't have a rotisserie.
