Hamilton Beach Professional Digital 31240 vs Oster Designed for Life TSSTTVDFL2 6-Slice

Tomorrow the plan is to roast a chicken and veggies. Bang for buck this machine will be in heavy rotation in my kitchen [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I guess we will see. Lastly, I went to Target directly. This unit was on sale, but out of stock in the whole metro area. Unfortunately their website did not support the sale price

Bagel function effectively, toasts the cut side as well as heats up the round side names of the five functions implemented inside are broil, bake, toa...

In fact, the temperature seems to stay constant when cooking compared to the old one I had. I miss that the old one turned the light off once it was preheated. This one seems to keep the temperature constant and the light is on the entire time while cooking. It does get hot if you touch the stainless steel parts, but that’s to be expected and I wouldn’t trade it for an all black one as I like how it looks

The probe is a plus with this digital countertop oven. You are able to see when the food is cooked to the desired internal temperature & it has the auto shutoff feature.

2. Good space on top of oven (I use this for keeping plates warm, heated food warm, so the toaster ovens with minimum space on top don't work well for me).

The only downside to this oven is the size. If you have a smaller kitchen, it does take up the same amount of space as a small microwave. That said, its earns every cubic inch in function. [This review was collected as part of a promotion

Obviously one cannot fit 1 12 in. anything in it and it comes with 1 rack and 1 small broiler pan and a crumb tray. 9 in. by 13 in pan will not fit

In fact, it is so bad that -- despite being a very good OVEN as far as the actual baking and toasting goes -- I got rid of it and just bought one made by a different company. I'd rather lose the money than have to keep using this infuriating thing.

Best to use Parchment Paper instead of foil on the pan that comes with it as foil increases the temperature. I like the 60 min timer which is longer than others. The large knobs and readable words are helpful for this older gal. Overall I am happy with it and will update again later after using it for awhile

The time/slice button is used to adjust cook time or number of slices. The digital read out screen display will toggle between the oven's actual temperature, the temperature it's set on & will chime when the desired temperature is reached. The probe is a plus with this digital countertop oven. You are able to see when the food is cooked to the desired internal temperature & it has the auto shutoff feature

This oven is perfect for 8 x 8 pan . Some people are having trouble with toast but I did not. Turn your knob timer past 20 until your element lites up then turn back to about 2 or 3 minutes watch it closely this oven gets hot quickly I would definitely purchase this item again next time around

I don't like that there is not a specific on/off button. For me it would be a little more user friendly if there was one. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

The look of this is very sleek, and nice. It goes well on our countertop. It is still fairly new, but seems to work well. I think there have been a few goes that I underestimated the power, though
