Use toaster only for pizza on 12 inch round pizza pan. Have to adjust time to adjust to the crust that I like, time recomended on pizza box is off.

Overall I really like just about everything about this toaster oven. It cooks very evenly and toasts bread wonderfully. If I had to chose something that I don't like, its the fact that the rack has a little edge on it on the front which makes it difficult to just slide the toast off - you have to lift it a little which is sort of annoying since you don't want to burn your hand (which I haven't so far) or grab a spatula to remove it instead. Just a little annoyance but not enough to not buy this oven. The quality is very good for the price.

I like the fact that I dont have to use my big oven for alot of cooking. Some things wont fit but slot does. It saves energy and the convection cooks very well. My least favorite is that a 12 inch pizza pan wont fit. I had to buy the tin flexible ones and bend the corners up just a bit. But still makes great pizza.

Rochelle, Its the best toaster oven, period. This is our second. First lasted seven years with everyday use. If you have children they need to be aware of heating elements inside so their hands don't get burned. Oven top can get hot with extended use. We put a hand towel on top. Buy this oven you won't regret it.Bob

It is very easy to use, and works great so far, i use it a lot for baking, toast and broil, it will not fit a large turkey breast, though. I didn't expect it to be so big, takes up a lot of room, but i can't think of anything I don't like about it

It fits in my "breadbox" in the cabinet. It is big enough for a 12" pizza too. We use it a lot.

I agree with Cheri. The sides are definitely cool touch; once you start moving up toward the top where the slots are, it's a bit warm. But, again agreeing with Cheri, the toaster cools down very quickly and heats up quickly. I'm happy with the purchase.

I run it on high to toast but it still takes longer than smaller toaster ovens or toasters will take. I chalk it up to the size and the amount of metal that sucks up heat. However the upside is that it does better for actual baking etc with the extra room and the metal evens out the heating.

Mine stays relatively cool compared to my last toaster oven. I wouldn't purposely grab hold of it but if you brush it you won't get burned.

The element on the top of the oven gets red/hot. I guess it could be used for toasting. I have done tomatoes with parmesan cheese, and steaks but have never done toast. The element seems a little far from the rack, about 6 inches. I love the unit!

The toaster oven ticks while toasting and when toasting time is up it dings.When you are setting the timer be sure and turn it past the time you want and then back to the time you want.This is a great little toaster and it doesn't take up much space.

The quality is excellent, I have used mine to bake cakes, pies, and casseroles. Everything I have cooked in it has turned out just as good as it would have in a regular oven . The pizza setting is really great for frozen pizza and the bottom crust gets nice and crisp . I would reccomend this oven to anyone that wants a great toaster oven.

It is not easy to clean. I use mine for toast......I have never been able to "cook" (bake) because that part is faulty.....it looks good, though.

All toaster ovens get hot on the outside. This one seems to be reasonable - just leave room around it for cooling.The top can be used to pre-warm dishes.

The lowest temp on this is 150. - basically warms food a little at this temp. This is my second oster toaster oven. I use it a lot more than most and it has been the best toaster oven I have found.

The sides stay reasonably cool. The top can get pretty warm when toasting bread and hotter if the oven is on for a longer time. I would not put anything flammable or that could melt on the top of the over. I noticed this with two other toaster ovens that I had. They would even melt plastic if left on top. I would imagine this is the same for most toaster ovens.

This does not have the convection oven feature. I, too, was a little confused about this, but decided to order it anyway. I am glad we did because, hands down, this is the best toaster oven we have ever owned (I can't believe I am excited about this- it really is true, you do eventually turn into your parents). Very spacious, cooks and toasts evenly, and the crumb tray covers the entire bottom so it is very easy to clean. We have had it now for about 6 months. I would buy it again in a second.

Hi,I am in seach of a good countertop oven to use mostly for the rotisserie feature and for meat, pork and not chicken - most reviews focus on baking and chicken. Would you have any specific suggestions or just features/ qualities that I need to look for? I take it that convection would be big deal here. I see a lot of complaints about how flimsy the applicances look and the external heating... Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

I've owned the TCO650 for about 6months now and feel that I can answer your question. I cook about 10 lbs of food per week and haven't used my full-sized oven since (unless I am cooking for a party). The toaster oven is BIG, and even the back of the unit is rounded so you can fit pans that have large rims. I find that the toaster oven bakes quickly and very evenly. Since it is much smaller in size, is heats quickly and stays hot. I usually bake at 25 degrees lower than packages ask for. This oven only allows you to set the temperate in 25 degree increments (300, 325, 350, etc). Setting a casserole on the lower level helps it bake more evenly and prevents burning on the top by keeping distance between the top of the food and the burners on the top side of the unit. I would say that this unit is up to the task, especially for the price. I bought it through Amazon for $--Fifty--Five when it was on sale but if it was stolen I would gladly pay 2-3x the price--well worth the money. The only disadvantage (and this is a disadvantage that I find with all electric cookers) is the the broil is never as good as a gas broiler. It heats more evenly and doesn't get that char/crisp that a gas broiler can do. But all in all definitely go for this toaster is you're looking for one that replaces a full sized oven!

You definitely don't want to touch it after toasting something. That being said I think it's about the same as other stainless toaster ovens.

It does not toast evenly. I feel like that is the standard with toaster ovens. But we like our toast extra dark so it doesn't matter to us. It really isn't that big of a difference.
