Cuisinart 1800 Watt Stainless Steel Air Fryer/Convection Toaster Oven

Purchased this approx 3 weeks ago to replace an older Black & Decker toaster oven. My husband and I use the Cuisinart daily for toast - 1 or 2 slices with room for several more pieces of bread. Toasts evenly - still working on figuring out my preference on the dial to get the perfect amount of toasting. I have used the air fryer twice. It seems like the recipe temperature is going to need to be adjusted down by 25 or more degrees to prevent over burning on toppings or thinner portions of veggies. Used the oven to cook biscuits one morning, I think I used the convection setting and should have reduced the temp in this situation as well. We did cook Sister Shubert rolls on the Bake function for Thanksgiving meal and the tops of the rolls were really brown, and pretty much overcooked - and this was using the temp listed on the package. Going forward whenever I use the bake, convection or air fry settings, I'm going to reduce the temp and see if that gives me better results. I look at this as just getting used to the oven. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase. It looks good on my counter and does not take up too much space. In the photo, I have the air fryer basket sitting on top since we use the toaster rack every day and it is just easier to not take it in and out except when needed. The oven basically has a square foot print. Usable interior dimensions are 4.75" H (bottom of lower rack to top broiler element) and 12" wide and 12" deep. Exterior - there is 3.75" from the top of the oven to the bottom of my cabinet front; measures 14" from the backsplash (with the oven back spacers pushed against the backsplash) to the front of the oven, plus add 1.75" for the handle. Exterior width is 16". I list these dimensions because I found it difficult to determine accurate dimensions prior to purchasing and did not want it to take up too much space on the counter. I have not found that the exterior gets noticeably hot, but warm to the touch when using the oven for extended period of time, i.e. 15-20 minutes. I would purchase again.

This is my second Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven. It's replacement for a year old defective unit. The Bake function stopped working. That oven also ran hotter than the temperature knob indicated. We would burn items frequently trying get the temps right. This one seems more in line to the actual temperature. Other than that love the oven and all my Cuisinart products. We own quite a few! BTW. You customer service on the phone is excellent, the best. Took me about a five minute conversation to get a replacement unit sent. The women was efficient, friendly and helpful. Refreshing for the frustrating customer service you get at most companies these days.
