Product DescriptionThe DeLonghi AS1870B is a versatile kitchen performer, and the only oven you need! Fan-forced convection displaces heated air over food more evenly and more directly, to reduce cooking time and produce more consistent results. The easy-load rotisserie is remarkably simple to remove, load, and clean. Plus, it's substantial enough to handle a 10-lb. chicken. The rotisserie spit attaches to the drip tray - then slides into the oven to automatically align with the rotisserie motor. After cooking, simply slide the rotisserie spit and tray assembly out together. The attached drip tray catches splatters, drips and spills, making the process easy and mess-free! PATENTED DURASTONE II ENAMEL INTERIOR Distributes heat more evenly for the most consistent cooking results. And it's easy-to-clean - just wipe with a damp sponge. The patented interior is so durable it stays like new for the life of the oven. OTHER ACCESSORIES INCLUDED - 2 wire cooking racks, crumb tray, rotisserie kit and DuraStone II enamel bake pan.
What Others Say
small caution for use
I've been using this model for a couple of weeeks now - faultless performance.
I like the dials as opposed to digital operation. one caveat: under the door handle are metal screws attaching it to the door. They get hot enough to cause a very small burn on a fingertip and should be sheltered, however, it's not serious enough to cause blistering.
This is my second DeLonghi with a similar size and configuration and I am pleased. The first one is still in use and functioning well after more than five years. Use an oven thermometer to check the temperature on crucial projects and open the door as little as possible -the heat dissipates quickly.
I usually cook in small quantities and this oven is satisfactory ... Read More
Ardent Cook sez choose any other than this oven!!!
Simply: Rotisserie unusable unless its 1 lb squab super trussed, dont even try a small chicken. Broiler pan cannot be used with rack and support slots allow for the shallow pan to tilt and spill fat and can cause GREASE FIRES! Heat elements are marginal compared to MANY delongis I have owned. There is a reason why this model is on sale. Designer should be forced to cook with what they hath wrought as punishment. Winner of the Dante's Convection Oven Contest.
GREAT COOKING
COOKS MUCH FASTER THAN A CONVENTONAL OVEN, AND ROASTS COME OUT BROWN ON THE OUTSIDE AND JUICY ON THE INSIDE. I BELIEVE I HAVE ONLY TURNED MY CONVENTIONAL OVEN ON 2 TIMES SINCE I GOT MY DELONGHI. FAN BAKE COOKING IS AMAZING. LOVE IT, AND OUT OF ALL THE CHOICES THERE WERE, GLAD A CHOICE A DE LONGHI.
Very Convenient But.................
I am pleased with the unit except I believe that the temperature gauge is inaccurate. Unit does NOT reach temperature setting. Also I believe it does NOT reach maximum temperature under any circumstances. If you bake you may not want to deal with such inaccuracies. I was attracted to the unit because of the rotisserie and unit's size. Rotisserie easy to use but takes a LONG TIME. Size is very good, but dials stick out too far.
Mis-Represented
I purchased The Product To Deliver my Toast in The Morning, The Unit Doesn't Have Any Settings For Toast, You Have To Use Broil and Turn Over Your Toast After You Get Tired Of Waiting. When Used As A Rotisserie, The Spit Rod Doesn't Fit Well and IT binds when Installed In The Oven. The Lower Pan doen't Fit Well Either, It Binds And Scratches The Finish.
In My Opinion The Unit Is Mis-Represented In All Aspects.
