Cuisinart TOA-60 AirFryer Toaster Oven

I began my search for the perfect air fryer months ago. I discovered that most were smaller than I would have liked and would either take up precious counter space or be relegated to a closet or cupboard to be dragged out when I thought about using it. (Maybe). I first came across the Cuisinart TOA 60 in a department store and I was intrigued. It could do so much more than just air fry and it could be put on my countertop to take the place of my toaster oven! I did my homework, researched and read all the reviews and decided to order it from Amazon. I'm so glad I did. I can't say enough good things about this appliance. Since I have received it, I have toasted perfect toast in it. Yes, it is better than my old toaster oven. It gets the toast done on both sides without flipping. Choose light, medium or dark. Fabulous! You can fit 5 slices of bread in the oven. Air fried chicken wings came out just PERFECT! I did them the way we like them, extra crispy and delicious. The basket held 15 large drumettes and flats without touching or crowding. Next, I did sweet potato fries that were perfectly done and crispy on the outside, soft in the middle like they should be. Roast chicken is a delight from this oven! I can't wait to try more of our favorites. I can truly say this is my favorite kitchen appliance and I can see that it will be used every day around here. I read all the Amazon reviews and I think that the ones that were given one star might just be user related. First, let me say that if you cook at all you probably keep an eye on your food as it cooks regardless what appliance you are using. I think there may be a learning curve here with this new product. Don't look at the cookbook and just blindly take their word for cooking time. Experiment a little to get the food cooked to your liking. This is not a "set it and forget it" appliance like a slow cooker. Check on your food as it cooks, especially in the air fry mode. You will want to either shake the basket for fries or turn your chicken wings mid way through cooking. Some people said that they had trouble with the timer. Mine seems to work perfectly. I set an additional timer at first to check it out. Yes, the knobs are plastic but so are the knobs on my slow cooker other toaster oven, etc. I don't think any of those knobs are made to be turned COUNTER CLOCKWISE. So if you take your food out BEFORE the time goes off, just leave the door open (the oven will turn off when door is opened) and let the timer run out by itself. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new Cuisinart!

AWesome .... I have cooked in several restaurants throughout my lifetime, so I know how to cook and what to expect from a convection oven. (line cook, prep chef, sous chef, etc.) to all the nay sayers out there I say "bahoooey" If you wanted something digital why dog this oven cuz it isnt what you wanted? If you broke your timer knob, how and why ? simply leave it open and the timer runs down. (or turn the knob to "toast") Doesnt cook at the exact temperature ? No it doesnt, but then neither does my $3000 commercial oven - get over it. If you dont know how to cook, then why dog the oven cuz it doesnt read your mind ? Yes it takes getting used to, but then so does ANY convection oven ! =duh= I know how to cook and I know when I buy a new appliance I will need to learn how it works to use it best. I read the bad reviews and bought it anyway, why ??? because I know that most people simply dont know how to cook. If you want an excellent oven with analog (not digital) controls, it is perfect. I did not want digital controls because I know they are not as good as old school analog. period . simply put, if you want a digital oven buy something else or use your phone to order a pizza.and yes it does have a cleanout tray, chincy but its there. cleans up nicely after each use (hot water and soap does wonders) Way tooo many people giving it less than 5 stars because it isnt what they thought it was or doesnt work how they think it should. I did 6 chicken breasts at 325 in 15 minutes... perfect ! frozen fries at 375 just under 12 minutes, again ... perfect (better than my deep fryer!) .... I can say goodbye to my pizza oven and deep fryer-- AMEN -- one note however is the rack is "just" big enough for a standard frozen pizza. yes it also has a simple cookbook in the manual. I recomend adjusting temperatures at least 25 degrees less that they tell you. keep an eye on your food until you learn how it works and you too will be very satisfied. I don't impress easily but I am very impressed with this oven ! If you want a digital no brains needed oven DONT BUY THIS == If you want an awesome countertop convection oven that also is an airfryer BUY IT NOW !

This is a relatively small and compact unit. The 'dials' are old school and I like that, easy to read. The timer makes a 'countdown ticking sound' which is not an issue for me. As with all cooking devices, keep an eye on them while you are cooking or at least become familiar with the heat settings. This is a small oven, it will heat up quickly and become very hot, overly hot while baking - just a heads up. My Kenmore oven has never had a consistent temperature, ever. Always have to watch what your cooking, same applies here. I've gone through a half dozen toasters that are all a piece of garbage, how difficult can it be to make a toaster that can 'evenly' toast your bread? Answer - pretty difficult. Well, this airfryer has a wonderful toast setting, again - keep an eye on it until you are familiar and comfortable with the settings. Toast comes out PERFECT. Potatoes come out amazing, haven't cooked much more than that so far but heating things up is quick with the convection setting and I no longer have to get my big oven up to temperature. Sides stay warm, top front, very warm, top middle and top back do get hot! The back of the unit is warm. It's light enough to move into place if you don't want to keep it on your counter all of the time. Even has little hand grips, well balanced too. I would suggest covering your drip tray with a sheet of aluminum foil, mine got christened with oil, and of course it'll never come off. Absolutely pleased with this. Free shipping to Hawaii in 3 days, damage free - doesn't get much better than that.

This appliance is for our suite to replace a full on oven. Have yet to work it but is as described. OF course this item could have been a tad more capacity. AND A few weeks later after already paying 35$ in shipping costs - a FedEX bill of duty charges for another $35 - NOT HAPPY if items from Amazon Canada are coming from who knows where i expect there to be a note upon ordering that import fees are whatever amount AND At this point my return date has expired

J'ai acheté ce four pour remplacer un autre Cuisinart que j'avais depuis des années. Une friteuse à air était sur mon radar depuis un certain temps. Il était important d'en trouver un qui n'était pas en plastique ... Cela correspondait à la facture. J'adore cette chose. Jusqu'à présent, il a fait tout ce dont j'avais besoin. Assurez-vous de disposer de suffisamment d'espace par rapport à votre mur, car sur certains paramètres, il devient chaud. Nettoyage facile est un bein grand maux comme tout les mini four... silencieux et non plastique. Que pourrais-tu vouloir de plus? (on ne réchauffe pas une pointe de tarte a la friteuse hihi) et bien il est mort 15/5/2024 fin......

Muy buen horno . Super práctico

This is my fourth year using this device, and it is still working great. I have used it most nights for cooking and have had no issues at all. The toast timer is nice on it, too. It makes a noise that's a nice BPM, and if you like dancing and rhythm, it makes waiting for your toast fun.
