The chicken worked great, but not today. This toaster oven worked okay the first 3 times I used it and then it completely stopped working - nothing. This was the first item I've purchased by Delonghi - will not buy a Delonghi brand again. Now I have to lug it to the service place. I only used it once to toast bread and it worked okay, although didn't brown evenly. I used it 2 times to warm-up/brown pre-cooked chicken patties.
I am in search of a replacement of the same (stainless - not black), but it's been hard to find. You can cook everything from a whole chicken to a full-sized pizza, and the interior light keeps you from having to open the door too much to check on the food's progress. However, my heavy-handed husband has broken the middle dial (the one that sets the timer or turns on until you turn it off).
The cool sides are great. My only complaint would be that I would have liked to receive two oven racks instead of one in the box; one for the bottom and one for the top, so that I can bake two levels at the same time. The size is perfect.
I've had this very oven for about 3 years with no problems. So, I've become spoiled and am now on the hunt for the same Delonghi that I had. Even so, I give it a 5-star.
He didn't know it was unplugged and used force on the knob unnecessarily. So, I thought I'd try another model, but everything out there seems to be convection (which I do not want); does not have the interior light (which is WONDERFUL.).; and/or does not pop-out the tray/rack when you open the oven door (DELIGHTFUL FEATURE).
Sadly one day it just stopped working. We loved our Delonghi and although it was big for a small kitchen it worked great for pizzas, cookies, toast and bagel bites. I am trying out another brand but miss the light which it had when it opened, tray popping out when you open door, the not burning so am thinking of trying again despite the early demise. We thought a fuse had blown for the outlet as there was no warning. Cooked perfectly with no burning on top. Also we loved that we could "bake" on a hot day without heating the house with the full size oven.
Also, the control knobs for settings cannot be read without glasses or a magnifying glass. No reason. The machine quit inexplicably after 1 year. No warning.
Oven is plenty big enough. Just wanted a basic toaster Oven. otherwise OK but crumb collection at botton is not so good. and this did the trick. has a timer that actually turns off the oven when done, either for toast or bake.
