West Bend PV436345 Toaster Oven with Convection Cooking Review

                       This is my second West Bend Toaster oven, the first was borrowed by my daughter, never to be seen again. Amazing the things that got borrowed when she got her first apartment. In any case, this time I'm not letting it out of my sight.

                      I've found that i can really cook anything in it. It's great for broiling fish or making a small batch of muffins for packing in lunchs. I've made just about everything in it, brownies, homemade enchiladas, rolls, brownies, cakes, fish. Did I say brownies? Just wanted to be sure I mentioned the most important things.

                      I did find out the hard way only to fill the muffin cups part way and to have the rack on the lowest settings. What a mess! And if  you forget to clean out the crumb tray, it will be kind enough to remind you by smoking.

                      I like the convection feature too. It cooks more evenly than the older toaster ovens I've had in the past. It's great for someone that's short on space who needs a multi tasking appliance.And yes, sometimes I even use it to toast bread.

                     I like the black exterior as well,just in case I miss something when I'm cleaning up and my mother in law comes for an inspection,erm. I mean a visit.

                     Again another kitchen toy that needs to be kept away from objects and little fingers as it gets hot on the outside.

                     I think it's a great gift.  Anyone that likes kitchen toys will love the West Bend Toaster Oven with the convection feature.
