Oster TSSTTVXLDG Extra Large Digital Toaster Oven, Stainless Steel

I very much LUV this toaster oven! Heats quickly; cools down quickly, cooks evenly; convection feature works well; really DOES fit a large 16-inch pizza! Have cooked everything from casseroles to brownies to pies to late night chicken wings for one to those big pizzas from the store and this toaster oven shines at them all. This size toaster oven comes in handy as a second oven during the holidays for casseroles and pies that require higher or lower cooking temps than other things in the 'big' oven.This will be our first summer with this toaster oven, and it is light enough that it can be easily carried out to a deck or patio for use in order to avoid adding heat to the house. I do this with the crock pot, and look forward to having the option of having an oven that is actually big enough to cook supper in out on the deck, as well.Haven't cooked a lot of toast in this - we find a toaster to be more practical for that, even with a big family, but have cooked toast in it a few times and it did a fine job (bread and English muffins).I read through many of the reviews posted here before buying and find that the negative ones are things that I've NOT found to be issues and the positive ones to be very helpful.The one thing that I would caution new owners about is that if the unit is put on a kitchen counter to take care when opening the glass door. The edge of the counter will hit the glass - the handle will not keep the glass from making contact with the counter. I had read about some folks having the glass door shatter when hitting the counter. I simply put a adhesive felt pad (like the kind you can buy for the feet of chairs) on the edge of the counter where the glass makes contact and I've had no problems. While I am mindful of being gentle with the door when opening, if my grip slips, the door has a soft enough landing on the felt pad to avoid breakage.This unit also cleans up easily. The bottom interior tray comes out for thorough cleaning and the glass and stainless steel is easily cleaned, even of baked on food, with Barkeeper's Friend or BonAmi. We've had it for about six months now (after 2 other toaster ovens, neither of which really thrilled us), and that's like 3 years in big-family time. It's done a great job in functionality and durability, and it looks really nice, too. I expect that we'll have it for years to come =o)!

I researched as well as possible.. Truthfully all of the units with my list to f needed options ALL had something that I had to compromise to select the best for our needs. This one was the best, with workable compromises. It does use up a lot of counter space.. I have it available, and it is perfectly placed. One complaint is that the unit's outside gets too hot. It was no hotter than my old Cusinart! Love the easy push button grid, love that my pizza stone fits wonderfully, love that it did great baking Candied Sweet Potatoes to Blueberry Muffins to Pizza! There is one HUGE design flaw. We have granite countertops.. And when the glass door opens, BE CAREFUL! It lands sharply on the granite and is at high risk of breaking/shattering. A fix for Oster would be to send us silicon tabs to snap in place on the glass.. I have designated a set of hot pads to always be in front of the glass.. So far? So good! We love it!

UPDATE (5/24/13):This is a nice oven, but with one annoying problem. Unless I set the timer for longer than I plan to bake, it will automatically shut off in the middle of baking. It's a very handy appliance to have, though, and it seems to be holding up. I'm upgrading my rating to 4 stars. Once I know whether or not this appliance will go the distance (I expect it to last), I'll upgrade it to 5 starts. I'm still waiting to see if it lasts.**********ORIGINAL REVIEW:I bought this countertop oven because my 3 daughters (2 in college; 1 in high school) come home hungry and use my large wall oven to make their meals. In the interest of saving a little energy, I searched for a toaster oven. This one meets all of my criteria. It's large enough to hold regular-sized pans, and it has a convection feature to shorten cooking time and/or lower oven temp.To give an example, today my daughter baked chicken that would normally bake for 30 minutes in a 350-degree oven. In this Oster toaster oven, using the convection bake feature, she was able to bake it for 25 minutes at 300 degrees. Later in the afternoon when I got home from work, I popped some frozen cod in there. The cod normally take 22 minutes to bake at 425 degrees. With the convection feature, they took 14 minutes at 425 degrees. And these shortened cooking times do not take into account the fact that the toaster oven preheats a lot faster than the wall oven, and cools off a lot faster as well. Thus, my kitchen doesn't get so hot. This is going to be great during the hot summer months!I reserve the right to edit this review if the oven doesn't perform well or starts giving trouble. I've always been skeptical of digital appliances, and this toaster oven only has a 1-year warranty. Still, I wasn't prepared to pay too much for a countertop oven, and Amazon offered this at a great price. Also, this item has received plenty of favorable reviews, so I'm hopeful I made the right choice.This is a 1500-watt oven. The cord is short, which I happen to appreciate.The actual rack dimensions are 15.75" wide x 12" deep at shortest point (15" deep at the longest point where the oven bulges out in the back). I did email Oster to ask what the interior dimensions were. Their reply was that it's large enough to fit a 13" x 9" pan. Obviously, they didn't answer my question, and I had to measure it myself.Yes, you can fit a 13" x 9" pan in there, as long as its handles are short.Allowing for proper air circulation, you can easily fit a 12" pizza pan in there. Because of the bulge, a 13" pizza pan would also work. I've seen reviews on the internet that say you can fit a 16" pizza pan in there. No way! Just one look at the rack dimensions will tell you that's not possible. My 15" round pizza pan fits in there, but there's no space for air to circulate, so I do not plan to use that pan in this oven.The broiler pan that came with the oven measures 15" x 12" and takes up most of the available rack space.Oster says not to use aluminum foil inside the oven--not even to line pans--because the foil can raise the oven temperature too much. The manual also says to use extreme caution with any bakeware not made of metal or glass. Pyrex and Anchor Hocking both say their bakeware are not toaster oven safe, so...This toaster oven needs at least 6" of clearance on all sides, so make sure you have enough space before you order this huge thing. IT IS LARGE!The digital controls are not as user friendly as my Frigidaire Professional wall oven, but considering the price difference between the two ovens, I'd say you get what you pay for.The preheat feature of this toaster oven is royally annoying, to put it mildly. You have to go through a series of steps to enter the temperature and 7-minute preheat time, after which the oven light will go off and the word "END" appears. In other words, the oven shuts off at the end of the 7-minute preheat period. How stupid is that? I'd like to meet the genious who designed it that way! At any rate, at this stage, you have to re-enter the desired oven temperature before placing your food in the oven to bake. I called Oster about this, and they said the way to get around this is to set the oven to the desired temperature, wait 7 minutes, and then place the food in the oven. This is a lot simpler, in my opinion, so I will not be using the preheat feature from now on.Don't bother setting the clock. The manual says to unplug the oven when not in use. The clock will then have to be reset when you plug the oven back in. Who has time for that?Because I'm still learning how to use the convection bake feature, I have not used the oven timer. This is because I do not want the oven to automatically shut off. Actually, I think it's best to use a different timer (not the toaster oven timer) and manually shut off the oven at the end of the baking time. A good rule to follow is: Keep a watchful eye on what you're baking, broiling or toasting.As other reviewers have pointed out, this toaster oven does not have an interior light. I would have been willing to pay a little more for that feature, but don't think it's a big deal. In my brightly lit kitchen, it's easy to check food by looking through the toaster oven's large glass door. Using a flashlight, as one reviewer suggests, would also work. 'Tis better to light a candle than curse the darkness. :)Speaking of the door, it does not flop down, but it does open easily. It will go all the way down to countertop level, but that's a good thing. It makes it easier to get the food out of the oven. Since the door is made of glass, I suggest being gentle with it. The door looks sturdy and I'm not worried about it, but I don't think it's a good idea to handle it roughly or carelessly.As for the oven getting hot, of course it gets hot! Any appliance that cooks with this much heat is going to get hot. Just be sensible and use oven mitts to open the door and remove food. It's as simple as that.

No funcionó lo conecte y no prendió además,le faltan 3 tornillos en la parte de lA puerta,bien e con 2 pequeños rayones y el reloj no viene en su lugar,quede muy decepcionada y triste.ni un pico de estrella se merece pero tengo que poner una.

Great device. Get's really hot and I've burned myself many times on it. Great augment for the stove for large family dinners.
