Can you put this in a toaster oven? I want a "weight" for my melted cheese pita sandwiches. However, I'm concerned about the wooden handle.Can the handle be removed? Thoughts?

yes the handles can be removed, but handlle supports stick up 3in from press. better check toaster oven see have height for sandwich and press.

No, I don't think the handle can be removed, and, if you put it in a toaster oven you probably will burn the handle. You might try making your sandwiches in a fry pan with the weight pressing down on top. Actually, this weight isn't that heavy, so you would need to press it down by holding the handle. Worst thing is this is iron and it rusts easily and quickly. I seldom use it!

No, I'm afraid not. It's too big. You would need to put this in a frying pan.

The Amazon site provides the WOOD stand's dimensions including the 15 inch width. There is no way that anyone would recommend placing a toaster oven on a wood stand. In addition to the risk of setting it on fire there is also the high probability of the surface being discolored and probably distorted or warped.

Good question! The bottom has a type of sturdy corrugated plastic flooring. I don't know how heavy your eater is. Also consider the length of the handle and whether it can be removed when storing.

I cut the liner to fit my electric toaster oven and placed the liner in the crumb tray. It works just fine. I can clean it when I pull out the crumb tray. FYI I used the large piece of the liner in my gas oven. I placed the liner on the lowest rack of the gas oven (not on the bottom of the oven itself) leaving space on either side so the hot air can circulate.

I have not tried to put this in the oven and don't know if the handle is oven-safe. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Yes, I use it that way all the time. Had thought I could use it in my toaster oven but it's just a little too big. However, it works fine in the conventional oven.

I haven't try making bread in it but you are able to put in the oven with no problem. Yes the handle is metal. We've made a lot of delious meals in it, well worth it.

I have an aluminum peel with wood handle and use it to slide my pizza or bread dough from peel to steel and visa versa. The baking steel can get some scratches from use but it has no effect on the sheet as it is only cosmetic.

We have used this oven 2-3 times daily for making toast or toasting sandwiches to melt the cheese. I am quite satisfied with the toaster part of this oven, your mileage may vary, especially if you are looking for a toaster oven that browns bread like a "uni-tasker" appliance. Although no toaster oven I've ever owned seems to get the browning the same on the top and bottom, this one is acceptable to me. My advice is, if what you really want is evenly toasted toast, buy a toaster. I like this toaster oven because of all the other things I can use it for.

&#9726;Wooden handles can be wrapped with foil for use in oven &#9726;A light coating of food-grade mineral oil on the handle after oven use is suggested

All 4 sides barely even get warm (you can press your hand against it completely without it being even close to uncomfortable). The top surface *does* get very hot, however, especially the strip of metal between the two slots. You will yank your hand back if you touch it. However, I suspect this is the case w/ almost every toaster, since heat wants to rise. Despite the fact that it gets hot, I had never really noticed (I had to do a special test to answer this question). The slots are so wide, and the ability to lift the toast further out using the handle means you don't really have to put your fingers at risk of touching. I think it would only be a concern for children using the toaster. All 4 sides barely even get warm (you can press your hand against it completely without it being even close to uncomfortable).

Mine is a year old now and well worn. It spits out enough heat that I put my serving plate on top of the oven andit will heat it up quite well, it will burn you. Be very careful with this aspect, it's a good little unit though. Toaster ovens generally aren't handled much, except for the obvious.

I wouldnt put it in my oven. the handle is metal and the rim around the glass is also. I havent tried to put it in the oven myself but I wouldnt try it either.

Yes, this toaster IS "cool to the touch" after use. You could pick it up or move it while toasting, if you like. I have yet to find anything wrong with it. Toast, bagels or toaster pastries have all toasted beautifully. You just need to find the right setting.

With a strong pair of channel locks, and strong hands, I imagine one could remove the wire handle, but it's not just detatchable. You really need it to lift the pot as it's very heavy, and it doesn't get hot like the cast iron. I personally would not remove it. Lodge does make a similar Dutch oven that's a little smaller and does not have a wire handle. Hope this helps.

Yes that is where mine is to catch crumbs or whatever is dropped to the bottom of my toaster oven. So easy to lift out and shake or sponge it clean....No problems at all. News to me about fires, etc.?????

To be honest, we don't know, we never tried it. Although I no longer have the appliance, that was one of the best and sturdy appliance we have ever owned for a toaster/oven. I gave it to someone. It never broke down. You will not be displeased with the product. Good luck!
