Recommend a toaster oven

[RossMAN]

I want to buy the Lexus of toaster ovens.

 

My budget is $100.

 

I plan on cooking toast, mini pizzas, reheating stuff, etc.

 

Would prefer to buy from CostCo B&M, Fry's Electronics B&M, Bed Bath and Beyond B&M or Amazon.com

 

Please recommend a model and why, thanks :)

This was the best one out there: http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-NB-G100P-7-2-Quart-1300-Watt-Infrared/dp/B000063UZV

 

For some stupid reason, Panasonic decided to stop making them despite glowing reviews and when one surfaces on eBay now, it goes for $300-400.

 

As for models available now, can't help ya, lol

The 90's called, they want their toaster oven back :)

 

Yeah I'm kinda looking for a newer model which is available for purchase and doesn't look so ... how do I say this politely? Homely

 

Just based on reviews I'm considering this model but it's over my budget.

yeah it really looks like a piece of lab equipment of some sort.

 

spend the extra $40 and get the one you like. looks like a really good model based on reviews. cuisinart stuff is on sale a lot, but most places have it for so much higher than amazon that even on sale it might not be any cheaper.

Yep like it belongs in a lab, I can imagine some beakers and goggles sitting right next to it.

That would be waaay to easy and I like to research the out of something before buying it. Of course by then the model is discontinued and the cycle starts all over again.

 

CostCo sells a Cuisinart for $99, I'm hoping they'll eventually offer a $20 - $35 coupon but who knows if that will ever happen. Maybe if that happens, it will be the motivating factor.

 

Mrs. RossMAN says we don't need anymore toys, gadgets, coupons, whatever

I have this one . I think tthis at Amazon is the same but with more stainless. It might be bigger than what you are looking for - it holds a regular full size pizza, which is what we wanted since it replaced a pizazz. I wanted the bigger version of that Cuisinart you link to but couldn't justify the price difference. I am very happy with this one though. I can get a muffin pan in by removing the rack and sliding it into the grooves and the convection knocks a few minutes off the time. I make muffins, cupcakes, cookies, pizzas and reheat leftovers all with great success. The downside is it gets very hot on the outside so you need space around it and I would worry if you have kids who wouldn't be extra careful with opening and closing the door. The interior is really easy to clean.

I have this one that I picked up on BF at Shopko last year. I use it at least 5 times a week. I rarely use my regular oven anymore. I've even made cookies in it.
