Nearly every model has a non-stick interior. Yeah but you're not cooking ON the nonstick surface. if you cook or heat your food in safe cookware, you're fine. ~Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you can find the exact temp & details online. Therese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 I'd recommend what we use for everything except extra large cooking. G E Model # 169055 Convection Oven from Walmart or other local source. Google it for details. Alvin h <mariahackerman@...> wrote: Hi My toaster oven is on the fritz and I would like to get a new one.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Bekki~ After some research here's what I considered: 1. Tefal Avante Elite Convection Oven: 150-450degrees, 0.5 cubic feet capacity, bake/broil/toast, 1600 watts, 90 minute timer with auto shut off, removable crumb tray, self cleaning interior, enamel baking and broiling trays. Only around $100. 2. Cuisinart TOB-175 Convection Oven: 150-500degrees (I think you mentioned you would like this), 0.5 cubic feet capacity = big enough for a 4 lb. bird apparently, bake/broil/toast, 1600 watts, removable crumb tray (in back), 3 year warranty (others only have a 1 year warranty). About $150. 3. Krups FBC2 Convection Oven: 150-450degrees, 0.5 cubic feet capacity, bake/broil/toast, 1600 watts, auto shut off, removable crumb tray, About $160. 3. Krups FBC4-13 Convection Oven: 150-450degrees, 0.56 cubic feet capacity, bake/broil/toast/defrost, 1600 watts, auto shut off, removable crumb tray, 2 racks, heats top and bottom - most even cooking. About $200. Thanks to and Cyndi here is where I got a lot of my info: http://www.consumersearch.com/www/kitchen/toaster-ovens/review.html I think I will get the Tefal Avante Elite since it will does everything I need and is the least expensive. I think if I had more money and really wanted to replace my oven (not just my microwave and toaster) I would get the Krups FBC4-13 since it is alittle bigger and seems to have the most heating elements/cook the most evenly. But for now, since this is my first toaster oven and I am on a budget I will go with the Tefal - it's safe, it has good ratings, it cooks evening and apparently the quality is great - no cheap parts and no hard to reach spots for cleaning. I will let you all know how I like it! Reese > > It's time to get a toaster oven so I thought I would ask you all for advice (I will search the > archives later today when I have more time.....).

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I just got a GE convection toaster oven from Walmart that has a light gray matte metal interior - AFAIK, and please correct me if I'm wrong, non-stick is always that charcoal shiny surface? -Lana " There is nothing more useful than sun and salt.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 The dial says 150 degrees, but is structured so that there is space before that, just not numbered. The unit's fan clicks on around what I'd guess was 120 (assuming off is 0 and the increments from 150-200, etc are consistent with the leading space)... but I haven't tested it yet. The elements power on just a bit before that. I plan to pick up a little thermometer as soon as I find one since I want it to double as a dehydrator - it has a warming function that is just the fan, with the occasional heaters to maintain temp. I think they're quartz heating elements, I've never seen a toaster oven that didn't have the typical coils, but these definitely aren't - they're sorta clear? -Lana On 11/19/08, Kathy Dickson <kathy.dickson@...> wrote: > Lana, > > > > What is the lowest temperature it goes down to? > > > > Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I just checked my toaster oven (which I love), and the bottom looks like stainless steel, then there are the racks that the food (or your pan) sets on, and the sides look to be a black surface, but I'm pretty sure it's not a non-stick (I doubt they'd put that on the sides anyway). Mine is a Krups that does all sorts of cool stuff so I never use my microwave anymore.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 , the one you link to in your post has a non-stick interior. I just checked. I thought I had read that when I first saw the link on your site. Don't know if that's the one you actually use. I think I've seen some in Bed, Bath & Beyond without the non-stick interior. I didn't make a note of any, though. Haven't convinced DH we should get rid of the microwave yet.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Thermometer acquired! It does 100F as the lowest temp with fan. Although, I just realized, unlike the first model I picked up (whose fan and timer bell went within 4 uses), this one doesn't feature an always on! AUGH! 60 minute timer dial only. I'm a bit bummed as I think that blows the feasibility of using it as a dehydrator... *sigh* -Lana " There is nothing more useful than sun and salt.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008   Just curious, did you ever buy and/or use a dehydrator? How do you feel about the uses of dried foods. Are they more economical, just a preference or better than canned or frozen? Or just not doing the canning? Just curious.  Gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 No, the first was a euro pro - it had a rotisserie as well. This one is a GE 169127 Convection toaster oven.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I used to have an American Harvest dehydrator... but quickly discovered the drawbacks to the use of a porous material (plastic) - I just couldn't get it clean after an experiment with some fatty meat so I gave it to a friend who didn't care about that. I think dried foods taste divine, but they're very easy to overeat. They're far better than canned foods as they're not heated very high at all, so they retain more nutrients. As for frozen foods, they're not that bad IMHO they just don't have the flavor dried ones do - that, and dried foods make great out-on-the-go snacks. I need more on-the-go snacks... -Lana " There is nothing more useful than sun and salt.
