The cord length, at 26 inches, was the second shortest of the models tested, which makes it even harder to find the right spot for this oven. The French-style doors provide great access, but they also hog space-this appliance needs almost two feet of horizontal countertop clearance for the doors to fully open.
#TOAST BURN SHAPES FOR TOASTER MANUAL#
Oster Manual French Door Oven: The mammoth Oster, which is a few inches smaller than a piece of carry-on luggage, didn't produce consistent toast, and barely browned the bread during our test of hot and cold spots.After preheating and 11 minutes of baking, chocolate chip cookies came out of the oven slightly underdone in the center. Frozen pizza and chicken pot pie emerged from the convection bake mode unevenly browned. KitchenAid Compact Countertop Oven: The analog KitchenAid produced inconsistent coloring on the top side of the toast, and struggled to cook the underside of the bread to the same shade.

This toaster oven did a decent job of cooking pizza, but the convection setting left an inconsistently browned pot pie crust. But the racks rub up against it, which could lead to premature failure. The heaviest model we tested, at just under 25 pounds, this was one of the few to include a rubber gasket around the door to trap heat. DeLonghi Livenza Countertop Oven: The DeLonghi has six toast shade settings, but overcooked the edges of the bread when we aimed for medium brown.Serious Eats / Emily Dryden The Competition
