Hamilton Beach 31197 Review by Namast� (Colorado)
This appliance is great for those that don't have a full-size oven or want the effeciency of a small convection oven. It fit's a lot more than a toaster "oven," so it can actually be treated like an oven. It works great for beef, poultry, breads, cakes, pizzas, and just about anything you can cook in a large oven. Having never used a convection oven, it does wonders for meats- but don't use it on breads (including pizzas) or cakes, though, because the outside will cook much faster than the inside. My only complaint is that the pizza tray warps initially when it comes in contact with a frozen pizza every time it's used, but after the pizza heats up the tray flattens out again.
This appliance is really a lifesaver as a college student, since I can actually come close to re-creating "home cooking" (granted, it's not my mom cooking, but OK). One more thing- this really is like an oven, so it really doesn't work for toast. I recently purchased this from a local Target- which actually was only $70. There really is no home appliance like this in the market- just large "toaster ovens," and fortunately there doesn't need to be!
Hamilton Beach 31197 Review by Wonder of Herbs (Connecticut)
I normally don't write reviews-- infact, this is my first.I just HAD to give a review because this oven is FANTASTIC ! I feel like a child at Christmas OVERJOYED with a PRODUCT that EXCEEDS it's DESCRIPTION !I purchased it because I wanted an oversized one. Not having used a convection before, I had no idea what I was missing ! It arrived today and I just tried it with a frozen pizza. The convection REALLY DOES BAKE FASTER. Whereas it would have taken 12-15 minutes to bake in a regular oven ( 15 in my previous counter-top oven), the pizza was done a bit before 10 minutes with the convection. I realize that I'll have to watch the time on all convection baking not to overbake-- because it bakes so much faster. I was THRILLED to find that it has a 500 degree temperature setting-which was NOT advertised-- because I like to bake my own fresh, vegetarian pizzas and you ideally need 500 degree Temp. I had researched all counter ovens previously to find one with a 500 degree setting and could not-- only the ovens well over $300 and even some of them don't.The oven in style is just GREAT, too-- it looks and handles like an expensive one. And, the door is GLASS so you can see inside. EVen if the oven was NOT a convection, the style and OVERSIZE features permit you to use it in place of your regular --which is what I wanted. 10 STARS and a, truly, DELIGHTED customer !
Hamilton Beach 31197 Review by Lacrocious (Hartland, wi United States)
Ordered one of these based on the reviews. Talk about shoddy construction. The outside walls are thin metal - pressing with a finger could dent. Edges of the metal are not smooth and don't meet together well.
What others said about Hot - it gets really hot. Being that it is tall, can't have it under a upper cabinet - as the cabinet bottom gets blazing hot.
Returned.
