Black & Decker 4-Slice Convection Toaster Oven - White Review

I had the standard Toaster oven by GE finally went on me.
I asked my daughter to help me find one that was just simple, no flashy extras. Just a timer,heat setting and oven or toast selector can't get much simpliar than that. Very well designed, and has replaced my oven completely. Some people may not like the sound of the ticking of the timer, but personally it's a good reminder it's on. Also you can only set the timer up until an hour and to me that is a good function also cause I don't think you would or should use this to replace and oven for long time cooking.

Toastmaster Personal Coffee Mug and Warmer (TMMGW) Review

Toastmaster Personal Coffee Mug and Warmer (TMMGW)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This formerly discontinued item is now available from 3 vendors. Vermontcountrystore.com offers a similar warmer (by a different manufacturer) that has a ceramic rather than plastic base.
The enclosed instructions claim that the "Hot Spot" does not heat items, but maintains their temperature. This is only partially true: Very hot cups of liquid cool down to hot (probably because there is no lid), and very full cups will cool down even more. That said, the Salton hot plate "mostly" maintains beverage temperature. I enjoy my now hotter coffee, and I've noticed I don't have to drink as much coffee as I did without the hot plate because I'm not refilling a cup at room temperature.
NO THERMOSTAT
That's right, there is no thermostat, so safety is really up to you. If you lay something on top of this, if it accidentally turns over-whatever-it will stay at the same temperature and start to burn. Even without this important lack-of-safety feature, the hot plate's complete ignorance of its own temperature can result in a scalded taste when heating coffee with milk-especially when the cup is near empty. Perhaps this item is hard to find because of this thermostat issue; however, I have yet to locate a similar product that senses heat.
The Salton does an adequate to good job at keeping beverages hot. It comes with a plain white cup which could have easily been left out. There is a white power cord and a simple on/off switch-a small red light indicates that the power is on. Please note that this product ships from independent sellers; therefore, Amazon.com does not offfer free shipping (with an order of $25 or more). For a similar price, you can order a mug warmer with a ceramic base from Vermontcountrystore.com. http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=10279&itemType=PRODUCT&RS=1&keyword=mug+warmer Given the adequate but not excellent performance of the Salton Hot Spot, this product might be worth checking out, although it does not have a thermostat either.

I bought this clock for my coffee themed kitchen. It is very solid and cute, not thin or cheaply made. If there is anything negative about this clock is that it hangs a little too far from the wall due to the battery pack in the back of it. It certainly adds character to my kitchen.

West Bend 78822 Egg and Muffin Toaster Stainless Steel Review

West Bend 78822 Egg and Muffin Toaster Stainless Steel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really like this toaster. I've not had it long but I'm very impressed with the quality. It's not cheapy looking or gimmicky.
It operates very well as just a toaster - for bagels, muffins, and bread. The slots are wide and long - big bread slices fit with no problem. You can also heat up a sausage patty but I have not done this yet. I like the Cancel button which pops the toast up and cancels any egg cooking as well.
I was looking at a similar egg-sausage-toaster unit but there were several reviews that voiced concern about the quality of the non-stick pan for the egg. Several customers complained that it peeled almost immediately. I took a leap of faith with this one since there were no reviews for it at the time, and I have not been disappointed.
The egg dish says to use a non-stick spray even though it appears to be non-stick already. I have been using margarine and it works great. The quality of the non-stick dish looks good to me - I'm not expecting it to peel or degrade unless someone starts using a knife or fork on it!
My appliances are white but I could not find this in white. But the stainless steel is beautiful and I don't mind that it doesn't match. The design itself is cool looking.
I recommend this product! A poached egg and dry toast nearly every day - and it's easy!

I have to say, I was a bit dismayed by some of the other reviews I read, but those seem to be folly (or older models). The fan for the convection could be a little more substantial, but it does what it says, and has simple dials instead of any digital controls. I work with computers all day, and still don't see the mix between digital things and heat. It does not have a single toast option, but that's the case with most EuroProX ovens. Don't be fooled; this isn't huge has room for my largest casserole dish without an issue! It's "just enough" larger than most other countertop ovens! Bakes, heats well, to the point that I don't use the big wall oven unless necessary. Pick the maximum time for most directions when heating pizzas and things, and you will be ok. The porcelain bake pan is a nice include, but I'd wish they had two wire racks included, since it's big enough for two at once. Nice stainless finish looks very simple and classy and matches the rest of our appliances.

This toaster does everything we want and looks very nice. The toast comes out evenly on both sides. After the cycle is done, the bread is a little recessed in the slots keeping it nice and warm until you use the lever to raise it up. The crumb tray pulls all the way out for easy cleaning. Bagel and frozen settings work great, too. Toaster is used every day by 3 heavy bread consumers and everyone likes it. Brushed stainless looks great and doesn't show fingerprints. Note: the outside surface does get warm.

Cuisinart TOB-50 Toaster Oven Review

Cuisinart TOB-50 Toaster Oven
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Update: So far, this toaster oven can keep its five stars. I'm extremely happy with:
- The ease of cleaning the bottom tray, cheese, grease and all
- The Golden Brown & Delicious toasting of bagels, frozen waffles and bread
- The feel of the controls, even though I use medium color toast 80% of the time.
- While I have preferred functionality over form, I like the way it looks too.
Original review:
We use toaster ovens so much -no, never for real baking- but for open face sandwiches, anything where browning cheese is on top, freezer waffles and the like. Almost everything we use drips. Eventually all toaster ovens end up with grease and other solidified crud that bonds to the insides. So, we'd look for deals on the $30 Black & Decker classic toaster oven, buy two, and replace after 7-14 months rather than deep-clean them. I recycle religiously, but the B&D's only lasted about that long with our usage. As did a couple of more expensive TO's.
This time we've gone with the $99 Cuisinart. Sorry for that long history above, but I think more people will relate to this experience. Here are the nice points:
- Toast seems to take longer than the B&D, but there's a lot of room, and the golden-browning seems to be better and more even. Sourdough, whole wheat, plain white, seeded sourdough and baguette slices all seem to get this rich color that might just be the result of slightly slower toasting.
- Toasting freezer waffles is just amazing. Crisp, golden and no burns. Sometimes I like to add butter and honey at the end of the cycle and toast some more, and the results are very very good.
- Lots of space, great for that leftover pasta that you can add cream to, cover with cheese and bake over. The base is stable and the rack slides out very easily, holding a ceramic oval dish with ease.
- I kept trying to find out the wattage on this oven, one place had 900W (less than the B&D's 1300+ claim) but I haven't found it yet. I took my chances and I'm happy so far. This has two elements on top and two below. I like the results of this placement.
- For something you use every day, the controls are very pleasing to use. No cheap clunk at all. Nice heavy feel to the knobs, and an elegant start and stop button.
- The door is flat, and the hinges are a bit noisy but again the feel is solid
- The top gets hot (it's brushed stainless) and seems to want to expand. But this doesn't bother me.
- Built-in spacers are very convenient. The handles on the sides help keep some distance from other things (1/2") and there are bumpers behind to keep space between the oven and the wall.
- The interior is very straight, no funky shaping. Perfect and timeless.
- The rack is offset from the sides that slide into the toaster, offering a low or high position on each of two sets of rails. We like the upper rail, low position. Four possibilities.
If this lasts me three years I'll be very happy and at the same price point as the B&D's (which have become increasingly unreliable lately, toast buttons fail fast). Cleaning seems to be simple, stuff doesn't adhere to the crumb tray much. Cuisinarts are typically overpriced, but so far those I have, have been a great oasis when you've tried a bunch of other appliances that have problems. You eventually get to the point where "value" redefines to something that will feel good to use daily and function flawlessly. If this fails on me, I'm coming back to retract some of those five stars.

Hamilton Beach 31199XR Countertop Convection Oven Review

Hamilton Beach 31199XR Countertop Convection Oven
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We purchased this one after reading the reviews here of several models. I called the mfr to learn the differences between the 31199XR and others, and was told 31199XR lacks the rotisserie components. That's fine with us as we would never use them! It also lowered the price quite a bit. If you do not plan to use the rotisserie, buy this model!
We bought it because the thermostat on our very old range died, we can't find a replacement, and we are planning to remodel the entire kitchen next summer---so we did not want to buy a range just now.
The convection seems to speed up browning of items but not necessarily cooking all the way through, so you have to be careful --- we browned a couple of pot pies last night more than we wanted to! We are still getting used to using the convection feature.
The oven bakes everything in the same time as usual with a full size range. The difference is in the preheat time---it preheats way faster than the large stove. Also, we use the convection feature to speed the preheating phase and then turn it to Bake for the actual cooking. We have an oven thermometer hanging from the rack.
I roasted a 7 lb turkey breast in it shortly after it arrived--everything perfect. I did have to put foil on the bird partway through cooking, to keep it from overbrowning, but I do that for the full size oven, too.
The top does get hot but not as blazing hot as some reviews indicate. Ours is placed well away from cabinet bottoms, other appliances, etc. All of our existing casseroles and pans will fit inside except a 13 x 9" baking dish. I have a lot of Corningware pyroceram and even the large oval French White casserole fits (rather snugly).
You have to keep the inside spotlessly clean---these electric ovens *will* start fires if you leave a lot of grease and crumbs inside. The bottom pulls all the way out, for cleaning in the sink -- that gray thing in the photo is the handle that runs along the edge. The racks also come out, and when it is cool you can clean the inside easily. If you bake something that drips, like yams, put a piece of foil under it to make cleanup easier.
Someone in another review said he burned his hand opening the door--- I place my hand over, not under, the handle when opening the door and I do not get burned---I also have in my possession a number of potholders, and I use them! : -- )
We are very pleased with this purchase and to tell the truth, we are planning to continue using it after the remodel. It's great for baking something for one or two. I highly recommend it.

This grinder is powerful for such a small one. If you press the button repeatedly to give it a pulse action, you will be able to grind your beans finer. I recommend giving it a tap (tap the top of the grinder while the platic top is still on)between every 10 pulses to release the oily grinds from the walls to maximize grinding, then hold button for 10 seconds at the end. This made my coffee perfect (althought with any grinder you'll find the occassional lump), and it was very flavorful. I used the Cafe Altura Organic beans in Dark Roast. VERY SMOOTH.

Beware! Once you've selected the "shade" of how you want the toast, and depress the lever, the only way you can get it to stop earlier is to unplug it!! I hate that aspect. I keep my bread in the freezer, so it takes longer to toast. The first time I used it, I set it for too dark. The toast started burning. I tried pushing up on the lever like you would to most toasters, but nada! I had to unplug it to make it stop. Very poor design. Other than that, I like it. It's not only wide enough for bagels, but long enough for Branola or Orowheat bread, which not all
toasters are. I plug this into a surge surpressor now, so if it needs to come out early, I trip the surpressor, and the toast pops up.

As Seen On TV 8153 Big Boss Grill 15-Piece Grill Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I cannot believe that such a reputable place would keep these grills on their sites. I recieved this grill for Christmas and was so excited because I had seen it on TV and it looked perfect for my husband and I.
I used it a few times and it grilled perfectly. However, after about 3 times when I plugged it in nothing happened. I cannot tell you how disappointed I was. I went to the computer to see if anyone else had this problem and lo and behold their were hundreds of customers with similar problems. It seems to me that if a company had recieved numerous complaints about a product they sold (The Big Boss Grill) they would look into what was causing the problems and either fix it or take it off the market. I would have sent it back and I still might, but the shipping charges cost almost as much as the grill. Since most people don't send it back precisely for that reason the company makes out. Amazon I have done a lot of business with you in the past and I have been extremely satisfied with everything I purchased. I know people sell things through your site and if something isn't right it is up to the company that is selling it. However, if I were you after reading all the negative comments about the big boss grill I would not accept the site that was selling that product. It is your name that makes people think everything you sell on your site will be A-Okey.

Feeling uninspired in the kitchen? This 15-piece grill set provides the tools needed to get those creative juices flowing. The compact appliance features six interchangeable cooking plates that consist of a pair of grill plates, griddle plates, waffle plates, sandwich plates, doughnut plates, and omelet plates. Use the grill plates for cooking and searing those delicious grill marks into salmon, asparagus, and summer squash. Switch out the grill plates for the griddle plates when it's time to make silver-dollar pancakes, eggs, and other breakfast fare. For breakfast or dessert, use the waffle plates to bake two delicious square-shaped waffles at a time and the doughnut plates for baking eight mini doughnuts at a time, then sprinkle with powdered sugar, cover with fresh berries, or glaze with chocolate. The sandwich plates work well for making the classic grilled-cheese sandwich. For making two at a time, simply add two pieces of lightly buttered bread, a layer of cheddar cheese, two more slices of bread, and lower the lid--sandwiches come out perfectly warm and toasted with melted cheese in the middle--a diagonal indentation in the cooking plates allows for easily cutting the sandwiches into triangle-shaped halves. To round out the set, the unit's omelet plates offer oval-shaped indentations for making fool-proof omelets. All of the cooking plates cook both sides of the food simultaneously for fast, even results, and their nonstick surface ensures effortless food release and quick cleanup by hand or in the dishwasher. A handy storage rack comes included for keeping the plates neatly stored and easily accessible, as well as a "Cooking With The Big Boss" recipe guide with over 50 recipes. Compact and simple to use, the grill measures approximately 9-2/5 by 9-1/5 by 3-2/3 inches.

Bought this toaster at Target. Had to take the B&D model back to Wal-Mart because it was dead out of the box.
Like the styling of this toaster and so far it hasn't disappointed me with its function...
My only beef so far (and I should have realized this before I bought it) is with the digital display. My wife and I are old school and unplug the toaster when it is not in use. (can't start a fire if it isn't plugged in) Anyway, the toaster has a default setting of 5 when its plugged in... maybe okay for bread, but we most often toast english muffins and they need a setting of 7 or 8, which means we have to change the setting every time we use the toaster.

Sharp SuperSteam Microwave Oven Review

Sharp SuperSteam Microwave Oven
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First off this is a VERY attractive appliance. The picture on the website does not do it justice, as weird as that may seem. It is substancial, well built, and looks and feels like something from a professional kitchen. Even though the measurements are documented, the oven just seems bigger. Personally, I think it's too big for a counter and would be best mounted into a unit. There could be some problems with mounting because you absolutely DO need the recommended space above, behind and to the sides - you can't get away with putting it up against anything if you plan on using the steam feature.
Good things:
The convention over works exactly as it should - I made a cake and it came out super-fluffy and perfectly cooked in and out, and very moist. Also made a sandwich and the bread was nice and crispy and the tomatoes inside were perfectly cooked. I made two chickens - one with the steam and one without. Both were good, but the one with the steam did get brown (lightly) and looked better, although they both tasted great and moist.
Microwave works fine. Downside is that there is no spinning wheel, so you have to stir and flip things around - AND - the microwave keeps stopping to tell you to do that. A bit annoying.
Although the job wheel feels very expensive and all the options are laid out well - I would prefer some buttons, espcially with the microwave. You can't just pop something in and start nuking. YOu have to press the microwave button and then use the wheel to go down one selection and then press enter and then use the wheel to spin to a time and then you can finally hit start. They should have moved that up one level to make it faster.
You get several well built pans and racks with this, which is very nice bonus.
The instructions are overwhelming, but when you actually go to use the oven, it makes sense.
Putting the water in for the steam function is very easy - a little box/cup thing comes out, you fill it and put it back in. done.
The auto sense microwave warming part works really well. I always want to doubt that it will work, but it actually does.
Overall it's a very intelligent unit, looks gorgeous and can completely replace your oven and microwave. Downside is that interface, which although it is slick, I don't much care for it and seems to require more thought than I care to put into microwaving something.
I would give it 4.5 stars because of that - but really it's a very nice oven.
One more thing - oddly enough, it does not put out excessive amounts of heat compared to your regular oven. You can open it during cooking and not get blasted by heat (although you should be careful). And cooking the chickens didn't heat up my whole kitchen or apartment like the oven usually does. The steam will kick up the humidity, but not that much.
Update - I wanted to add that I made a Flan recently and it came out perfectly. Usually I make it in a regular oven in a water bath. I skipped the water bath and just put it into the Sharp and chose convection oven - it came out perfectly cooked from edges to the middle! Anyone who has made a Flan will know how hard it is to get the center to cook correctly without overdoing the sides. I was pretty happy with this.

Sunbeam Black 2-Slice Toaster Review

Sunbeam Black 2-Slice Toaster

I was happy to see we werent the only one ending up with charcoal bricks after using this toaster. The smell of burnt bread isnt exactly appetizing. This thing is a hunk of junk. Like the other folks said in their review, dont buy this toaster...its awful. Even on the lowest setting one or both sides of the bread is completely black.
