Thanks for letting me know about the &q...@PFStock,<br /><br />Thanks for letting me know about the "over" typos. I guess my hands are more trained to touch type the word "over" instead of "oven" :-) Blogger's spell checker doesn't recognize incorrect context of correctly spelled words. I caught some of them prior to publishing, but missed a lot. The corrections have been made.<br /><br />As for the toaster feature, I like the button settings. The toast quality is very reproducible. It even "knows" to toast a shorter time for subsequent slices, becuase the heating element is already hot. <br /><br />Our oven is the Cuisinart Exact Heat Toaster Convection Oven sold through Costco. The price was $99 and is very similar to the Cusinart model CUI TOB-195, which lists for $179. The main difference is the Costco model doesn't have a stainless steel body, only a stainless steel door. <br /><br />So far we've only used it for toast, and can't comment yet on other capabilities. My only concern at this point is that the body gets much hotter than our previous toaster oven.Super Saverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172939501208456194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32639162.post-30975790036774222062009-08-17T00:56:24.265-04:002009-08-17T00:56:24.265-04:00We went through a similar, somewhat futile effort ...We went through a similar, somewhat futile effort a couple of years ago. We used to have a toaster oven that (once you set the desired darkness level) you only needed to push down the lever to make toast. After the old oven broke down, the process for the new oven is to (1) set the temperature control to toast, (2) set the oven function knob to toast, (3) set the timer knob to a position that you think is about right, and (4) watch the toaster carefully to be that sure it doesn't burn your toast, or (4) be prepared to do a lot of scraping...<br /><br />It sounds like the jury is still out, but if you are happy with your new toaster, I would like to know the brand and model number.<br /><br />I also have a couple of other points. You seemed to have used the word "over" instead of "oven" several times (I counted 6) in your original post (including the title). This made it confusing to read.<br /><br />Another, totally unrelated point, is that I recently read an article about a bank giving away an HDTV if you opened a bank account with them. The same article mentioned that an HDTV seems to be a much better gift than the typical toaster. However, when I thought about it, I don't know of ANY banks that offer a toaster for opening an account. If you know of one, I might consider opening a bank account (if the toaster makes good toast :).pfstockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16235204038486228085noreply@blogger.com
