Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart TOB-60 Convection Toaster Oven Broiler
Customer Review: Good tabletop oven, mediocre toaster
Summary: 4 Stars
When my Sanyo SK-VF7S died, I ran to the store and bought this, instead of my usual methodical Amazon research.
Toaster ovens are by design usually tradeoffs. The small ones tend to make better toast. The large ones make better ovens, but heat too slowly to make good toast.
Cuisinart in my mind has a reputation for good quality, but not always great design. The controls on this leave something to be desired. I've had none of the problems others reported regarding sloppy controls, etc. In fact,these controls felt superior compared to the other ovens in the store. But setting the timer just right for toast is not easy without a magnifying glass. Also, it's easy to accidently leave it on 'Convection bake' instead of 'Bake/toast' without realizing it. Not that there's much difference, but on Convection it heats up even slower.
Which brings me to my biggest criticism: It doesn't heat up fast enough to make great toast. Some ovens, like the Sanyo, have Quartz elements that glow almost immediately. This does not. So to me, the toast ends up baked, instead.
For other uses, I'm completely satisfied. I often use it for baked potatoes, or broiling something in au gratin dishes. I rarely need to use the large oven, since I'm cooking for two or three.
The build seems solid. The convection fan isn't loud. The controls feel stiff and well made. The Stainless shell looks great. I also like that it's just a rectangle, not some silly sloping or curved design that has no functional reason. The flat top is great for warming your salad dressing while the potatoes are baking. I also like the size - big enough for most of my needs, without being huge.
So if I didn't want to make toast, I'd give it 5 stars.
10/23/10: After almost a year, I'm really happy with this. It still looks great. The controls are still stiff. And I've gotten the hang of the temperature settings. Basically, for anything that you don't want the top to burn (like biscuits), turn it down to 300 and/or cover with foil until later in the cycle. Tonight I did Red Snapper coated with a little bread crumbs and parmesan. Started off baking at 350, switched to Broil for the last 5 minutes. The fish came out flaky, moist, perfect. Last night I broiled sliced potatoes covered with peanut oil and Old Bay. French Fries, basically. They were wonderful.
I still don't use it for toast.
Description of Cuisinart TOB-60 Convection Toaster Oven Broiler

With 1500 watts of power, the multi-functional countertop oven can produce temperatures ranging from 200 to 500 degrees F--choose from keep warm, bake, convection bake, toast, or broil. Use the always-on function or select the temperature and set the 30-minute timer with automatic shut-off. Other highlights include three easy-to-use control dials, a clear-view window, and a nonstick interior for quick cleaning.
