Cuisinart BRK-100 Brick Oven

We entertain at home a lot but we only have one oven with a small cheap toaster.  When the small toaster died on us, it’s time for us to look for a replacement.  We were looking for something that can be a second oven used for baking, toasting and broiling for small size or small amounts of food. When we compared several different brands and types of toaster ovens, we fell in love with Cuisinart Brick Oven.

First, this toaster oven keeps food warm longer because it has bricks built into the side of the toaster; moreover, this toaster comes with a removable pizza baking stone.

Second, it is easy to use.  It has 3 dials to control temperature, cooking function and toast shade level with 2 buttons for start and stop.

Third, it is so beautiful to look at – clean, minimal and simple.  It looks like it fits together with my other stainless appliances.

Fourth, it is much smaller than a regular oven but a lot bigger than a regular toaster; however, it is very powerful - capacity of 0.90 cu. ft. 1700 watts of power and 500 degrees F Brick, you can fit in a 12 inch pizza.  I use this brick oven more often than the big one I have because it does most of the jobs that I need.

The only thing I dislike it that you have to turn the oven around to get the crumb tray out and I am glad I only need to do it once a while.
