Cook Pizza with Pizzazz!
Review of Presto 3430 by rumline

Advantages: More efficient than a regular oven; very easy to use
Disadvantages: No on-off switch

The Presto Pizzazz is labeled as a Pizza Oven. Technically, it is not an oven since it is not enclosed. Nitpicking aside, it does a very efficient job of cooking or reheating pizza. The Pizzazz separates into two parts that are much easier to store than a toaster oven. One piece is somewhat U-shaped. Overall height is about 8.5 inches. The base is one "leg" of the U and measures about 13.5 inches deep by 10 inches wide; it contains an electric heating ...
...the pan. The top forms the other leg of the U and measures about 11 inches deep by 6.5 inches wide; it contains the upper heating element and the controls. There are only two controls: a 1-to-20 minute timer and a heat element selector switch. The selector switch is the only means of controlling cooking temperature; the choices are to select among the lower element, the upper element, or both elements. You may change these settings as desired during ... Read review

Pizza cooker
Review of Presto 3430 by jtbull46

Advantages: simply to use, makes decent pizza
Disadvantages: oven pizza is better, some hot spots

This thing is about as italian as sushi. The basic design of the machine is that you set pizza on it time it and it rotates and cook it under the large part of the frame. It has temperature control. This is kind of like a foreman grill or sadwhich press machine in that it is there for convienicne. I recieved it as a gift so there is no money lost on my account. IN all fairness to the machine it does do a good job. I have not found that it cooks hand ...
...peel with my oven. It is great for tombstone pizza and similar pizza though. It does not appear to use very much electricity as heating up an oven does. On the downside there is no substitute for real pizza. Also it does not appear to be the most safe thing in the world. I have not heard of any injuries but I am sure the chance is there. With homeade pizza I have found that the crust does not get done as good as I would like. IT is good for people ... Read review

Review of Hamilton Beach 22708 by Spoiledbrat2187

Advantages: Easy to use, cook with and toasts wider items such as bagels
Disadvantages: Somewhat hard to clean the inside of the oven part

I love this toaster some much. Its nice to have an oven that can cook small things when you don't want to use the big oven. The toaster is really nice and big so it fits bagels and wider items that you want toasted. Also the oven part is really nice to use to cook things like bread and fries. I have also found that the oven is really nice when you want things heated up and not soggy like if you would cook them in a microwave. The toaster oven part ... Read review

many nice things about it
Review of Cuisinart TOB-50 by poohbearwall

Advantages: small, heats quickly, tray in bottom
Disadvantages: none

This is a very nie toaster oven to own. It has lots of different kinds of features and functions. It provides a very nice little tray for catching crumbs and other things that really happen to fall down. You can cook several different kind of foods in this toaster oven and sometimes it is better to use then the oven at times. It heats up very quickly and it is safe or at least I think it is. It is very easy to use and even my children can use. It ... Read review

Ok Toaster Oven
Review of Hamilton Beach 31160 by lindybrasher

Advantages: Pretty Fast
Disadvantages: Not up to date

It's ok, but toast comes out uneven. They recommend you put the rack towards the top. Who wants to keep moving the rack from one place to another, for toasting vs. baking? Takes up to 5 min's for toast, and that seems way slow if you're in a rush. Also, I have a problem with these dial-type toasters - Instead of setting the darkness then pushing down, as toasters have done since the Stone Age, now you have to dial to the darkness you want then suffer ...
