Hamilton Beach 31142 Toaster Oven, Silver

This Hamilton toaster works like a charm! It heats up quickly and toasts bread evenly with just the right amount of crispiness. The multiple settings let me choose exactly how I want my toast, and the extra-wide slots fit bagels and thicker bread slices easily. Cleanup is simple with the removable crumb tray. It’s sturdy, stylish, and perfect for everyday use. Highly recommend!

I gave this toaster oven five stars, because Hamilton Beach is very well regarded. But I never used it. The inside dimensions were very important, so before I placed the order, I communicated with Hamilton Beach, in writing, to ask for the inside dimensions, and they responded in writing. Unfortunately, their response was wrong and the toaster oven was unusable to me for that reason. (It had to do with toaster oven pans that I already had and wanted to continue using.) So anyway I took the toaster oven out of the box and tried to insert my pan. The oven was too small. So repacked it and sent it back. Hamilton Beach wouldn't offer any compensation other than free shipping if I ordered something ELSE from them. No thanks. Hamilton Beach screwed over this wonderful seller by being careless.

Be aware though that there are two cardboard rifts holding the pan down. I didn't see this listed in the directions and they are a little hard to so. So I put some food in and fired the toaster up and walked away and in about 2 minutes I smelled a burning smell so I ran back to see the stupid thing on fire. I figured out what was happening, removed the burning cardboard pieces and doused them with water. My food tasted like burnt cardboard and this all happened at work where it alarmed everyone who all came running to find me putting out the fire and apologizing to everyone. Not a fun day.

I use this mostly for toast and french fries, and it works great. My one complaint is that the pan it comes with it too darn small to cook all the fries I want. So I ended up making a pan out of aluminium foil that nearly fills the whole thing. Works great! Now I'm looking for a real pan that will fit, but it's difficult to find one. (Edit: found a perfect fit: TeamFar Stainless Steel Compact Toaster Oven Pan Tray Ovenware Professional, 8''x10''x1'', Heavy Duty & Healthy, Deep Edge, Superior Mirror Finish, Dishwasher Safe . You can replace the rack with it, or have them both in at the same time.) A note about toast. If you want evenly brown toast, keep three things in mind: 1) Use the Toast setting, not the Bake setting. 2) Keep away from the middle of the oven -- there is a metal bar that blocks most of the heat and you'll end up with an under cooked line down the middle. 3) The wire rack means you'll always have stripes on the bottom. I no longer use my gas oven. This little baby does all I need.

So far I absolutely love this little toaster oven. For those with smaller counter space this will work perfectly. The settings are abundant so you can fine tune the type of cooking (top and bottom coils). The only thing I've noticed is the shields protecting the heating elements will dissipate heat around so toast will likely get cinged on the ends, creating a non-uniform toast process. But really who cares. It works well. I haven't tried a small pizza, but the back is concave so you can fit an 8" pie. Kinda cool really. Another small gripe is the lid will slam closed if you give it a push, so I would recommend using oven mits to gently allow the door/lid to close. Maybe repeated slamming of the door could cause issues down the road, no idea on longevity, but so far its great for the price. Also I really like the analogue knobs. I wouldn't trust a high-end electronic keypad panel because the toaster oven gets hot on all sides. Keep it simple!

I bought this for my best friend. She saw mine and wanted one. Xmas gift. I have a small apartment. I ordered the toaster oven baking set made my first meatloaf. Love it. Mine breaks I will order another

I needed a simple oven to make bagels , and this oven just what I needed: small to stay on the counter and it does the job. It has basic settings such as temperature, bagel/toast, time, one tray and a rack, two levels. I use it every day for almost a month now - have no problems.

I haven't tried it yet but I love the color which is the main reason I got it. It's a beautiful deep red. The size is also perfect for my small space. It's not that much smaller than my old one but I believe it's the square design that makes it seem much more compact. I love it!!

Excelente Horno Tostador, Hamilton Beach mi marca preferida por calidad, durabilidad y fácil manejo. Uso el horno para hornear molletes de pan blanco con mantequilla, frijoles y queso manchego, o bisquettes con mantequilla y y mantequilla, ese dorado en las orillas y el centro caliente, o una rica pizza chica bien horneada y caliente, lo recomiendo, con instructivos para hornear y tostar multiples comidas

Format parfait pour un comptoir. Belle apparance. Grille pain rapide.

Muy Completo y a buen precio. Tiene muchas funciones, lo uso muy seguido para calentar, dorar, tostar. pero me falta usarlo para Hornear algunos pastelitos y hasta para Asar algun platillo. Comodo, buen tamaño compacto para 1 o 2 personas sin ser enorme; no ocupa mucho espacio en la cocina. Si son 3 o mas personas en la cas, les sugiero el siguiente modelo de tamaño que es mas grande.

As we took out of box and pulled down glass door we discovered there was no hinge on left side.

Esta es nuestra tercera unidad. ¿Por qué? Porque funciona muy bien y las compro para regalar. Aguantan bien el uso diario, desde calentar hasta hornear. La verdad es que lleva tiempo ajustar la altura de la rejilla a la temperatura seleccionada, pero los pasteles quedan perfectos una vez que lo haces bien. Ya lo he hecho y volveré a comprar.
