BLACK DECKER Crisp ‘N Bake Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo, 12 in 1 Countertop Convection Oven Cooks Food Fast, Fits a Whole Pizza or 6 Toast Slices, French Doors with Stainless Steel Finish

I bought this multi-purpose oven/airfryer/toaster as a gift for myself, in hopes of simplifying cooking, heating , and toasting tasks all in one appliance. As I get older, I am more cautious about reaching inside a hot conventional oven, and I am still wanting the baked results of meats, baked potatoes and desserts.It has taken me several small steps and research to convert recipes for the convection oven, but I like the shorter time, the more even heat circulation, and being able to make smaller 2-person meals, without using the full size stove.The owner’s manual is very basic, and there are no recipes included. Even with twelve settings to choose from, I am still figuring out what the standard time and temperatures might be based on. I tried to make a gluten-free crust frozen pizza on the Pizza setting, and the edges and cheese were brown before the center dough was cooked. I might use a prebaked shell the next time, and hope that just the toppings and cheese will cook up properly. It is simple to adjust the settings once you figure out what the symbols are, and which direction to turn the single knob. The baked potatoes however, sprayed with a little avocado oil and turned once, were out of this world; fluffy inside and crunchy skinned.It is very quiet. In fact, I have to stand right next to it to listen for the pause function, when I am wanting to open the doors to turn over my chicken nuggets.I have enjoyed purchasing some specialized tools and accessories, like parchment paper liners for the fryer basket, silicone finger mitts to turn pans, and a wooden hook to pull out the wire rack.Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase. I bought the three shelf model with French doors, and have ample space in the corner of my kitchen counter for access, and for heat circulation. It is easy to reach inside and clean, once it has cooled off. I’m looking forward to more fun food experiments for my new multi-purpose kitchen helper.
