Toaster Ovens from Cuisinart - Definitely Not Your Grandma's Toaster

Cuisinart has a long two-and-a-half decade history of manufacturing fashionable and sturdy kitchen gadgets. While offering a retro look, all the newest technology is available in these units.

History

Ever since 1973, when the first food processor by Cuisinart was revealed during a housewares conference in Illinois, the name "Cuisinart" has been known to avid chefs. They have diversified greatly, so while they might have saturated their original user base, now they sell a wide line of all cooking gear.

Cuisinart has always been synonymous with quality, as well as for being able to blend the modern with the old.

Cuisinart Toaster Ovens

Today's Cuisinart toaster ovens are either classic looking or contemporary styled for any kitchen's needs. Their models fuse features, control, and styling while providing owners an exact level of control over toast together with additional slots which can hold bialies or wide bread slices. These extra-lift carriage knobs on the device make it easy to take out the end product in addition to making it safer. Each toaster oven has a crumb tray that can be removed and comes with a limited warranty for 3 years from Cuisinart.

What follows is a brief introduction to individual Cuisinart toaster oven models:

Metal Classic

You can find this product in either a 2 or 4 slot variety and a stainless look that will evoke images of a mid-twentieth century restaurant. Big ebony controls control the browning with extra LEDs to indicate what the settings are. The 4-Slice has distinct controls for either side.

Classic Style

This oven may remind you of the one that your granny used to have in her house. A glossy stainless steel slot model that looks streamlined and minimalistic. Includes sophisticated technology to make your toast the exact crispiness.

4-Slice Tandem

Here is the sleek, workhorse oven to which all other toasters sold are compared against. A 1800-watt element makes cooking quick and provides rapid defrosting of frozen waffles. This toaster also features a 2 or 4-slice switch, and an LED control with easy to read numerals.

Countdown Metal

This line, also produced in two or 4-slice versions, has a brushed steel face and a decidedly euro-style look. Double controls on the 4-slice version provide flexibility, with a 6-shade dial control. Also featured are LEDs and the most distinct feature, an LCD countdown timer.

Compact Line

These slimline white ovens, with dual and 4-slice available, are meant to be the solution for compact cooking areas lacking counter area. Both toasters feature controls on the end so that they may be tucked in the area available and not crowd the counter space. Includes LED touchpad controls, and a 9-setting browning dial for the utmost control over all cooking needs.
