great little oven

I really wanted a powerful toaster oven to take over during the hot summer months. My kitchen's oven is not insulated well and is old and heats up the whole house when I turn it on. This oven is great and the convection feature is awesome. It makes great toast on the convection setting or under broil but this oven doesn't have a 'toast' feature per se. My mom has the same oven and has used the rotisserie and says it's great. I have yet to use it. On convection every thing cooks up faster and is crispy crispy. One thing I like to do is slice up a yukon gold potato into matchstick size pieces, drizzle with olive oil and put them in on convection at 400 for about 15 minutes or less- watch them and when they start to brown pull them out. They are heavenly and not deep fried. Sprinkle with a little sea salt.

Very good oven.

This is a very handy oven that works for me in the summer time when I don't want to run the big oven. This is my second purchase of this particular model. The first one lasted 5 years before the knob/thermostat went out. The performance outways the negative. Like that the shelves are adjustable and that you can fit two items in it at the same time. The other brands you could barely fit in one dish. Personally I'm a big fan of Hamilton Beach products and I would recomend this oven to anyone who really cooks.

Couldn't help but notice how the whole exterior quickly got too hot to touch. Little or no insulation inside meant it wasted a lot of heat; though if it's a cold day it's not really wasted, it's helping to heat your house.

I read some reviews claiming this oven burst into flames; well just how does metal and glass burn? Probably some people should stay away from hot, as well as sharp, objects.

Also read about "quartz" heating elements; it has regular heating elements. Other people should stay away from the "review" button.

Getting basic product info nowdays is like pulling teeth;
Interior: 12.5 inches deep, 12.5 inches wide, 10 inches between top and bottom heating elements, 1500 watts.
Exterior is about 19.5 inches wide, 14 inches high, 17 inches deep with the handle in front and some odd plastic hooks protruding from rear, the footpads are 10 inches apart front to back and 16 inches apart side to side. --This oven is going to make nearby objects hot.--

Nice, big, clear, glass door has me worried I'm going to ram a pan into it thinking it's open. An interior light would be nice at times but a flashlight works.

All the functions work properly though the lower rear heating elements glows a little fainter on the right few inches.

Comes with two 12.5"x12.5" pans and one grill that fits the pans, two slide-in grill racks, rotisserie forks/shaft and hot-chicken-removal thing that lifts each end of the shaft.

I'm not much for cooking so I can only say that this oven really beats the old microwave for cooking frozen pizzas and hot pockets; not quite as fast but the crusts now get crisp and firm instead of soft and doughy and I can do 2 pizzas or 6 hot pockets at a time.
