Question: How much heat does this throw off? Does the door and the area in front of the door get very hot?
Document: As they say, it will easily fit a 13x9" baking pan. It comes with a lightweight, nonstick pan that is about 9x10" that is very handy. Do know, however, that it IS a lightweight pan and will warp up on diagonally opposite sides during baking. It does go back flat afterward, but it is noteworthy. Since this pan is, by far, not that integral part of the unit I didn't find this to be a deal breaker. I have plenty of other pans to use. I have used the included pan many times and, aside from the temporary warping, it works just fine.The outside of the unit will get kind of hot...hot enough that you don't want to put your hand on it, but not hot enough to cause damage or even heat up the area more than several inches from it.
I have had this unit for a year now and use it once or twice a day. I love this oven. It works great for toast and I use it to bake everything that will fit. Much better than heating up the big oven. It does get hot on the outside, but I don't know of a toaster oven that doesn't. For making meals for my 2 small children, this is the best thing in my kitchen. Great buy, and I definitely recommend this product.
I really like this oven. Managed to find a spot on my counter and lots of reasons to test drive it. Great for pizza, muffins and toast so far. Very easy to use. Sure it gets hot-it's a toaster oven. Also very light weight. Must confess that I found it much cheaper at Macy's online. I just might do a small ham in it for Easter. Now looking for small pans to use in it. Not that much on offer online.
but it also is hot to the touch on all sides. it cannot go on a counter top because of the heat it throws off so I have it on my baker's rack which is inconvenient.
Besides that, I love it so far. It does get hot, but so do all toaster ovens in my opinion. I pull it out from the cabinet when using and have had no problems.
bought this so I would not have to turn on large builtin oven and heat up kitchen for small baking projects...works great...I use almost daily to bake authentic gourmet croissants direct from freezer...have made breads, cakes, toast, pastries and pizza in this oven...the pan that comes with it is well made (wish I have more like it as a set for this oven)...did buy smaller baking pans for this oven as 9x13 won't fit...only issue I have is that the door does not shut tightly but still everything still comes out fine...bought this oven from amazon warehouse deal for very good price and shipped quickly and in good shape...overall one of my better purchases for small appliances...
A well designed oven door handle effectively keeps your hand away from the hot exterior when baking. Easy to use function controls with one knob for time set and second one for oven temperature. Each knob has a rubberized grip for solid finger contact.The high contrast digital display is very easy to read from across the kitchen room. You can set the oven shut-off timer up to two hours. Six presets are available and the Calphalon will remember your last setting.Once you select a cooking mode, a yellow "Start" button will flash until you press it; then, a steady glow remains while the oven is operating.
Warm air is blown around the interior to create a more even heat. I would NOT buy this without the convection.It's pricey - it's Caphalon.Knobs - I'm not crazy about the knobs and I don't get it. Partially digital and partially not? To set the timer for over an hour, there's a whole lotta cranking the knob. Be gentle.I do not regret this $199. purchase in fact just the opposite - I LOVE IT!I hope this is helpful to you.cb
I almost got a cheaper brand but have always been happy with Calphalon's stuff and after looking at tones of these things i decided to just go for it... and i could not be happier that i did!! it does everything it promises too! heats up fast, saves the whole family from having to heat the big oven up just for one thing and in the summer its nice to not have the whole house hot from using the big oven too!
Sounds like a no-brainer suggestion but actual instructions produce better results than "intuitive" use. Unit does not get too hot, ready "ding" is loud enough and cooking pattern is even. Very glad I bought this one!
Answer: The outside gets hot, but the door handle is safe to touch. You do need to be careful when removing pans and dishes as there is not much clearance room if you use an 9x13 pan. The cooking times and temps are about the same for a regular large oven. I roast, bake, toast and love this little oven. I also unplug it after use, but you don't need to. The counter top and other items nearby don't seem to be affected by the external heat. It heats up very quickly and cools down quite fast.
