The Cuisinart name is a byword when it comes to quality kitchen appliances; and the Cuisinart line of toaster/convection countertop ovens are built with the same high quality and attention to detail as every other Cuisinart kitchen product.
Under review this week is the Cuisinart TOB-195 Exact Heat Toaster Oven & Broiler; and every Cuisinart TOB-195 has…
- A combination convection/toaster oven/broiler with a 0.6-cubic-foot capacity
- Pre-set factory settings for easy cooking with pizza, bake, broil, toast, convection, bagel, reheat, and defrost buttons
- Shade control with heat sensor to maintain a precise interior temperature
- Electronic touchpad controls
- Both a clock and an oven timer
- An easy-to-clean, non stick interior
- A compact design that measures 16 by 17-3/4 by 9-5/8 inches
- A 3-year factory limited warranty
We ordered ours online for less than $200, which was a steal considering the retail price on this countertop convection oven is over $300… and the shipping was included in the purchase price.
It arrived in four days, and outside of unpacking and wiping down the interior and the racks, it was ready for immediate use.
This Cuisinart Convection Toaster Oven Looks as Good As It Cooks
The exterior stainless design with brushed chrome accents looks great on any countertop, and it does an exceptional job at baking and toasting.
And the title of “toaster oven” is actually a misnomer; this Cuisinart works just as well (if not better) than your regular oven… It just does the job in a smaller, space saving design.
Coming in at 16 by 18 by 9.5 inches, this Cuisinart convection toaster oven is compact enough to fit on any countertop; and yet it has more than enough room for your needs. The interior cooking space is 0.6 cubic feet, and can accommodate a whole chicken, or broiling enough fish for the entire family, or even fit an entire 12 inch pizza.
The Cuisinart TOB-195 Toaster Oven & Broiler Is A Breeze to Use
One of the space saving designs on this countertop oven is the state of the art electronic touch pad control panel mounted on the bottom of the unit.
It is well labeled, easy to use, and the digital time and temperature settings are a must to have on any countertop oven.
It also comes with factory pre-sets so baking, pizza, bagels, reheating, and defrosting are available at a touch of a button; any guesswork or fumbling through the manual to find the right time and temperature settings are eliminated completely.
And the convection oven works exceptionally well; the fans kick on and circulate the heated air throughout the over to insure even cooking in 33% less time than your regular oven.
Plus, they are whisper quiet…. This convection oven makes no more noise while operating than my refrigerator does in the background.
It gets up to temperature very quickly (no more waiting around for your oven to pre-heat), and the Cuisinart even shade control with “exact heat” sensor makes certain that the oven temperature remains exactly where you set it.
And with its brushed chrome interior, removable trays, and tempered glass see thru front door, clean up is a snap.
The Cuisinart TOB-195 Toaster Oven – A Few Minor Inconveniences
Like most Cuisinart products, this is a superior design for a countertop oven; but why did they put access to the crumb tray in the back?
Rotating the oven on the countertop to access the crumb tray is a minor nuisance; and an interior light with this unit would have been nice as well since our kitchen is not the brightest lit working area of the house.
But the Cuisinart TOB-195 Toaster Oven is a superior countertop convection oven. It looks great on the counter, is extremely easy to use with the push button controls and factory pre-sets, and pizza, bread, and muffins come out nicely browned and crisp.
It gets up to temperature much faster than a regular oven, and is more cost efficient for smaller meals and snacks than using the regular oven.
While a little more expensive than other models available, it is definitely worth it for the Cuisinart name, as well as superior baking capabilities in a countertop toaster oven and broiler.
