Superb from Cuisinart
We had been using an older toaster oven, and firing up the big oven more often than we wanted, but this item is fantastic. We haven't used the main oven in our kitchen since buying this. Takes a little reading of the instruction manual to get it all down before starting, but well worth the investment of time. We had seen that Consumer Reports ranked this the highest model, regardless of price and the deal on Amazon was too good to pass up.
My favorite appliance
I've had this product for over a year and still love it. It provides enough oven space to cook for two and has virtually eliminated the need for me to heat up the "big oven" in my kitchen. Using it with a cooking stone (the Bar Stone from Pampered Chef) creates the perfect combination for meats, bread, cookies etc. I like mine so much I bought one for my daughter & family.

Cuisinart toaster oven
I have been looking for a replacement toaster oven for almost a year. I was drawn the cuisinart because of their great name in cookware electronics. This is stylish, has all the features I wanted, is not too large as to take up too much counter space It toasts and broils great and quick. I have not used the oven yet (it has been in the 3 digit temps here) and salads have been the menu, but I am sure it will work as well.
Pretty Poison
I have another burned finger this morning from the Cuisinart. Something about the design of the door handle and the metal around the edge of the glass door results in nasty burns. Unfortunately, no matter how careful we are, this occurs. It's a beautiful toaster oven with lots of functionality, but this safety issue is more than we can bear. I am sending it back. Perhaps they should field test these things before they release them to consumers. Just a thought.
