Is there a toaster oven WITHOUT non-stick interior that I can buy? Hi, I am looking to replace an old defunct toaster oven (TO) with a new one, but all I can find are TOs with "non-stick" or "easy to clean" surfaces. I have read that these give off toxic vapours at high heat, and I want to avoid this pitfall. Any suggestions on a decent TO that I can get through Amazon without the non-stick "convenience"?

I have been looking for a toaster oven that is WITHOUT a non-stick interior or aluminized interior (aluminum bonded to steel which is also toxic). I contacted Waring Pro & they said that only their large Convection ovens, with no toaster capabilities, have a all stainless steel interior. I did find the Cuisinart Combo Steam Convection Oven/Toaster CSO-300. It has an all Stainless Steel Interior. It is counter top size but it is pricey.

I purchased the Waring Pro TCO600 1500-Watt 6-Slice Convection Toaster OvenSells for $79.99 on Amazon - I bought it at Best Buy since I wanted to see it up close. Love it. It meets all my "health" requirements, and it's not that expensive.

There's also the "Waring Pro WTO150 4-Slice Toaster Oven with Built-In 2-Slice Toaster." I'm thinking of buying this one.

Teflon is not toxic -- unless it's heated to extremely high temperatures that cause it to decompose.One of the chemicals used to bond Teflon to other surfaces is poisonous, but only tiny amounts get into food -- and the food has to be in contact with the Teflon'ed surface.

Teflon IS toxic. It will not be offered for sale in a short time. It's being phased out and will become illegal. Teflon does not have to touch food as teflon produces FUMES. The fumes are toxic, only extreme temps will create fumes to kill, but even in small doses has been proven toxic.

I've been searching for days to find the non-toxic interior, either stainless or aluminum interior. This is what I've found so far: Hamilton Beach Model 31508 (apx. $42.00) and also Model 22708. I've also found some pricey ones, but they are more a small convection oven vs. a toaster-oven: &#65279;Waring Pro CO900 .9 cubic foot oven is stainless inside and out and also &#65279;comes with rotisserie for roasting. It heats up to 450 F in 5 minutes. Another minute for 500 F. Fan noise is quiet, about like a microwave, and there is no excessive heat leakage. It has a heavy glass oven door. I'm seriously considering this one. I've seen it for around $220. Another one I'm considering is the &#65279;Haier MWM12001SCGSS 1-1/5-Cubic-Foot 1000-Watt Grill and Convection Microwave Oven, beautiful brushed-stainless-steel construction (inside and out). The microwave oven measures approximately 15 by 20 by 13 inches. $139.00 and it ships for FREE on Amazon Hope this helps.

Check out my Infrared oven user's group at Yahoo. There's wealth of info there. The Nuwave and the Flavorwave are the most popular. The B&D; is really too small, is a toaster oven, and is in an entirely different league (minor league) than the other two ovens.http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Flavorwave-Hearthware-Oven-Users/

i have had the toaster oven for maybe a year. just noticed while cleaning that the teflon coating on the back wall is severely peeling. can't be good for food! i toast but don't use it for broiling, so i am shocked.

Hi Yvonne J, I just wipe the toaster over with a damp cloth wrung out hot from clean soapy water. Wipe it all over, then go with non-soapy cloth. I stick my finger into the shape of the toaster on the inside - it seems to work well.

Why not use a toaster oven instead? Put on toast option, it will cook top and bottom in about the same time as this thing. You can buy one for about $30 new and all these optional pans maybe for $10 more. I have found a toaster oven can do all this and more just a fast and I am betting even better tasting.

I wound not recommend it. The manual says the oven should not be used more than 30 minutes at a time.I actually tried to bake a regular size russet potato and the outside of the oven gets really hot after 20 minutes.The potato was not cooked all the way after 20 minutes. So I aborted the toaster oven and used a standard oven.The manual also states the oven is not ideal to cook thick food items. The technology is not made for that.Also the timer on this toaster oven only goes to 25 minutes. However you can always add more time to the timer as needed.This oven has no problem cooking hash browns or sliced potatoes though. I wound not recommend it.

While some De Longhi toaster ovens have non-stick interiors, I'm not so sure about this model... I bought it for the panini feature but had I realized that there are so many other negatives about it, I wouldn't have bought it... I'm glad I kept my old Oster Convection oven which I use more often...

No need to pre-heat like gas ovens, filaments heat up very quickly. Just have to be careful as longer times can cook/toast very quickly! I still like it tho my digital control for #of slices on toast has frozen so can't adjust this anymore, tho other settings are fine. Another point some have made, glass door doesn't lay down flat.

The interior is not coated with non-stick. The interior of our toaster ovens are made of galvanized or aluminized steel.

I have this toaster oven and have used it to toast numerous times and both sides get toasted. I just put it right on the rack and not on a pan - not sure if that makes a difference.

You should also have plenty of room between top and another surface, it gives off heat. Sad thing is all toaster ovens suffer from this, figured someone would have fixed that but it is a great oven.

The interior walls of the oven are "a non-stick surface", according to the instruction manual.It is definitely not stainless steel.

The oven does allow for toast, english muffins and bagels but it isn't a "toaster" per se. The elements are stronger and you heat a larger area than you need. I keep a small toaster for breads because it is faster and more efficient. The elements in the oven are really for other baked items like cookies, pizzas, pre-heated meat products like pop corn chicken or chicken fingers, fish/chicken patties, etc.. I say pre-heated because it can quickly cook the exterior before the inside gets cooked due to proximity to the elements.

K: There is no removable crumb tray. There is a removable tray on which I bake salmon steaks. I do not use this oven for toast, so I have no crumbs. G
