Hi Alison here with another proudct reviw for you. This is a new toaster I've (indecipherable) received. My parents give it to us as an anniversary present and it's by Hamilton Beach. Our old toaster oven had picked a dust and we've been living without one for a little while and I really missed it coz I do use it quite a bit. With the toaster oven you could do a couple of different things with it. You can bake you can broil and you can toast. Primarily we use ours for toasting but I actually do use it for things I need to bake as well. This is a good size toaster oven and that's important to me because I have three kids there's five of us in the family so of course I'm taking toast in the morning. I want one that can accommodate quite a few slices or if I'm heating up bagles or poptart I want something that can accommodate quite a few so that we can all have it realy at the same time. This fits the bill. It does say hot surface on top. You want to be careful coz when i is working the top gets very hot. You don't wanna -- as I'd done in the past accidentally leaves something on the top. If you leave something plastic it will melt and it won't melt itself right onto your toaster oven so be careful. It has a door that open to the glass window so you can see inside while you're cooking. It comes with a tray to use for items that you want to put on like a cookie sheet. I like this one where we heat Chinese food. Often we get a lot of appetizers like chicken fingers and chicken wings and crab ringlets and this is perfect for storing it up with your leftovers and reheating it without having to break out a big cookie sheet turn on the oven. It's just much easier this way. This is also great for if you buy those like rolls of pills ready cookie dough the ones you just slice and bake. If you just wanna go few you can put a few out here. You don't have to make the whole thing on a big cookie sheet. Make a few bake them you're done you haven't eaten half the roll. Nice feature. It also comes with a wrap which you can use. And there's different slots. There's one two three slots that you can place this in depending on where you want them. At the crumb tray which is really easy to remove much easier than my last one just slides right out so you can empty the crumb that accumulate from toasting and baking. And I'm just gonna throw a slice of bread in here right now. Throw it in. What I do is I turn it to toast. If I was baking I can select what temperature but I want a toast so I'm gonna toast. The function dial is baked broil toast so I'm gonna leave it on toast. And there is a timer which I can set for up to 15 minute if I was baking or for toast there's three settings. There's really light partially light and dark. So I like mine on you know medium. I don't want too light but I don't want burnt toast. And then you can hear it ticking and it starts to cook except it's not plugged in. That would help. Now that it's plugged in the light is on it starts to cook and it's toasting. I can hear it ticking and when it get to the off button it will ding. There's also a nice feature past the off button. There's a button called stay on where I can use that as kind of a warming setting. So if the toast is ready but the kids aren't done yet I can put in on stay on it will just stay on and keep it a little bit warm. So all in all I'm really happy with this toaster oven. It's working well for us not having any issues or problems with it and again I like the size a bit. I could fit you know at least four slices of toast (indecipherable) be great. So if you're looking for toaster oven I would recommend Hamilton Beach Model. I think you'll be happy with it. Until next time.
