Product Description


,ronco 3000 series rotisserie white,hamilton beach 31199r countertop 1 1 cubic foot,ronco st3001ssgen showtime compact rotisserie,panasonic nn h965wf 2 2cuft 1250 watt sensor microwave,black decker tros1000 spacemaker digital toaster oven Product Description With its sleek industrial-style stainless-steel exterior and genuine brick interior, this innovative countertop oven makes it easy to enjoy restaurant-quality favorites right at home. A homemade pizza loaded with shredded cheese, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and other delicious toppings is the obvious choice, but the versatile brick oven works equally well baking blueberry muffins and apple pies, roasting chickens or salmon fillets, toasting bread for breakfast, and much more. Its user-friendly control panel consists of a toasting "start" button; a toasting "stop" button, which ends the toasting cycle at any time; an "on" indicator light; and three convenient control dials. The toast-shade dial makes it possible to adjust the toast shade from light to dark, the temperature dial adjusts the heat up to 500 degrees F, and the function dial allows for selecting the cooking method--choose from toast, bake, broil, convection bake, or rotisserie. The countertop oven provides a 0.90-cubic-foot interior with a nonstick coating (in areas where there are no bricks), a tinted-glass oven door with a horizontal handle, and a silver and black-accented side handle. In addition to the brick inserts that are permanently built into the sides of the oven, the unit comes with a removable baking stone for enhanced brick-oven-style results. Other accessories include two racks for multi-level cooking, a baking tray, a broiling pan, rotisserie skewers and fork, and a handy instruction/recipe booklet. The 1700-watt multi-functional countertop oven measures approximately 15-1/2 by 17-1/2 by 11-1/2 inches and carries a three-year limited warranty.

I actually bought the BRK-300, which is the same as the BRK-200, but with a rotisserie. For almost a year, the oven was used for little most than toasting and warming on the toast setting and it did a pretty good job. But ...

1. Maybe not an issue for you, but these ovens are HUGE. Check out the dimensions. The 300 has an additional two-plus inches of motor housing sticking out the back. On a 25-inch counter, it will come very near the front edge of your counter. The huge handles on both sides take up another two inches each -- maybe to keep stuff away so it won't melt! And cleaning the crumb tray requires that you turn the oven completely around to slide it out the back through a slit so narrow that any crumb larger than a pin head gets scraped off and stays inside the oven.

2. The controls are poorly made and the dot on the knob does not line up with the setting on the oven, so I had to count "clicks" to know where is was set.

3. After using it with food that created slight splattering (like heating a piece of pizza with sausage on it), the "brick" walls (actually about 40% of the left and right walls) on the insides of the oven are impossible to clean.

4. It seriously overheats on the bake setting and might not ever shut off. I don't know, I turned it off because the area around it was so hot.

5. I kept the crumb tray clean at all times, especially after anything that dripped on it might burn. This was generally very easy. But recently, some grease from a pizza was fairly firm and you cannot clean the tray with anything abrasive. It was not burned on, just gummy and somewhat hardened. So, I soaked it in some water with Dawn detergent. In the morning, the tray was covered with blisters that had dark black spots under them. I tried to order a new crumb tray and Cuisinart does not have them! Not for the 300, the 200 or the 100. I wonder why? Crumb tray problem, Cuisinart?

After waiting for more than a month after this problem was "escalated to corporate", I called back and they offered to send me a BRK-200 as a replacement, but I had to pay to ship the 300 back to Cuisinart. At first I accepted, but then I turned them down. This toaster oven has been discontinued after only one year and Cuisinart is selling off the BRK-200 and maybe sme BRK-100s if there are any of those still around, but beware, you will never buy a replacement crumb tray! I don't want it or a lesser replacement oven in my house!

The customer service representative was in no way sympathetic to these problems and about as rude as he could get away with. I hate to waste my time writing stuff like this and letters to Cuisinart, but be forewarned, this is not an oven you will be happy with.
