I don't think it's too small - for a toaster oven.

IKEA.

What's also nice about this size pan is that it's a perfect fit for a C Fold paper towel that's only half unfolded. They're great prep pans.

An 11" pizza pan should fit, since my 11.5" round cazuela fits with a little room to spare. Check this out... Polar Ware Or this... http://www.webstaurantstore.com/chicago-metallic-41800-eighth-size-aluminum-sheet-pan-6-1-2-x-9-1-2/32641800.html

I could see the focaccia being the case where something like an 11" pizza pan comes into play. I also have a couple of 1/8 sheet pans that might be perfect.

I'm really not so worried about its ability to bake loaf bread, since I rarely do that. The reviewer that I linked above did a decent bread that he said tasted great. Once I get better arm usage, I will try some flatbreads (i.e. focaccia) however.

Yeah, but it (the Dualit) looks good!

Also, even though the preheating cycle is a joke (as it is in all ovens, imo), I stuck 2 oven thermometers in the unit and let it go for 30 minutes. They both read within 5 - 10 degrees of the oven setting, which is also impressive in my book.

You know, I toasted half a bagel and a slice of multi-grain at the same time this morning. They came out great and I'm thinking - hey, this unit is pretty cool for Cuisinart.

There are a number of units on the market that are wall ovens. Seems to me that a nice combo of a gas range and an electric combi wall oven would be perfect. Now, if I can just move to that house in the country...or that apartment on Park Ave...

Wow - that's more impressive than I imagined. Now I have to do some pork chops in there.

That Sharp is still on their website. I don't see how that Sharp looks more "decent" and more "amazing" than the Cuisinart. As a matter of fact, I've always thought Sharp should've stuck to TVs.

Of course.

Yes you could. For $25, you ought to be able to . Check out this post, from the blog that johnder, slkinsey and I did a few years ago. The 2nd picture down is johnder's stove - the garnish tray to the right of the stove holds just 4 salts...a perfect setup, imo. As for me, I just keep a few salts in their original containers wherever I can find a space to stick them .

I think transferring it to a jar will keep it in decent shape. Whenever we travel, I bring back salt from wherever we go and I just keep it in its original container. Just don't stick your wet hands in that jar.

No - I think you're b etter off with an Electrolux combi.

Yes - the tuna is quite good.

I reheated a rice casserole and it's amazing how well things reheat with steam. I also did about 6 chicken thighs, simply seasoned with S & P and herbs d'Provence - they came out juicy and delicious. With a 10% off coupon and Williams & Sonoma's price of $219 including free shipping, so far I am quite happy with the purchase. Oh, it makes good toast, too.

Do you want crushed ice, or mini ice-cubes? If you want crushed, then either the Ice-o-Mat mentioned above or hand crushing with a mallet will work fine with regular sized ice-cubes.

At this price point, that is. Miele, Sub-Zero, Thermador and others make wall units for thousands of dollars. Here's a review by someone who has put the oven through its paces.

I think this Cuisinart is the first home consumer product of its ilk

Yeah until I stopped answering the phone !

I'm surprised that you don't give weights. Surely you know how much 1 cup varies depending on who is doing the scooping.

Well, I think it's the total footprint they were concerned with; after all, the steam function and water reservoir add to the overall dimensions.
