The pizza oven works fine but it only heats at 350 degrees so you can't REALLY cook a pizza properly at that temperature. The rotisserrie works OK but the claim that you can put a large bird on there are false. The oven is tiny and the 3# bird has to be tied up tighter than a football to keep from touching the bottom of the oven (it cooks okay though). The standard bake oven is absolutely terrible - it cooks so uneven it's not even funny (I have a pumpkin pie cooking at this moment that has burned streaks on one edges and the middle is still liquid, and yes, I have foil over it) - cookies bake crispy on one end and chewy on the other. The convection is finicky - it will cook things very quickly but it's not easy to get it right since there is no magic time as to exactly when it will be finished.....I baked a fruit pie that was gorgeous on the outside and totally raw on the inside. I ended up cooking it again in the standard oven - I had to keep turning and turning to keep it from browning unevenly. So....all of that to say it's ok. It was convenient to have this holiday to keep a couple dishes warm. The pizza oven is convenient, but not as convenient as a space saving toaster ovenwhich is basically what it is. Except a toaster oven is better made for the most part...the crummy plastic buttons on this thing feel like they will pop out everytime they are touched. Oh, it takes ages to heat up and it's frustrating if you don't hear the faint beep the oven just shuts off...grrrr.

Product Description:
A useful addition to any kitchen, this versatile countertop oven helps make mealtime a snap, whether cooking for a crowd during the holidays when extra cooking space comes in handy or simply keeping up with the everyday demands of a busy family. The three-in-one appliance offers a spacious 4/5-cubic-foot capacity and functions as a convection oven, a rotisserie, and a pizza baker. The pizza drawer accommodates pizzas up to 12 inches in diameter, and its swing-out ergonomic stay-cool handle makes it easy to slide pizzas in and out of the oven (handle folds out of the way when not in use). Even more, the oven's user-friendly push-button controls and digital blue LCD read-out makes it easy to program. Simply adjust the temperature up to 450 degrees F, set the electronic timer (lower oven up to 30 minutes; upper oven up to three hours), and choose from nine settings: defrost, keep warm, standard bake, convection bake, slow cook, roast, broil, rotisserie, and lower oven (for baking pizzas). The unit's convection cooking promotes fast, even heating at lower temperatures and without hot spots, and its rotisserie cooking option works great for whole chickens, roasts, and more. Other thoughtful design details include an "on" indicator light, an easy-to-clean nonstick interior with stainless-steel side rails, and a child lock to prevent changes to oven settings during the cooking cycle. Accessories include two baking racks, a rotisserie spit and fork, a rotisserie removal tool, a drip/baking pan with a broil-pan insert, two removable crumb trays (one for the pizza drawer), and a user manual with recipes. Attractively housed in durable stainless steel, the ETL-listed 1500-watt convection oven measures approximately 19 by 15-1/2 by 14 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Sunbeam 6277 4-Slice Toaster with Cancel Button, White Review

Sunbeam 6277 4-Slice Toaster with Cancel Button, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After disappointing results over the years with a number of fancy toasters that just didn't toast, I finally decided to try this inexpensive but highly rated Sunbeam. The 4-slice model that I bought has two separate sets of controls, rather than a pair of oversize slots as some 4-slice toasters do. This is a great design feature when two people like different doneness. Toasting fairly rapid, and the results have been spot on--no need to "retoast". The recommendation is a 12" clearance above the toaster to avoid heat damage to cabinets, but the Sunbeam is extremely light weight, despite its bulky appearance, so it's easy to move away from hanging cabinets, if necessary. The Sunbeam 4-slice was a good choice, and I'm very happy with it.

Fox Run 13-Inch Pizza Stone Review

Fox Run 13 inch Pizza Stone
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We purchased this stone to use with our Breville toaster over.It is a perfect fit and it works much better than the pizza pan that comes with the unit.This is not a knock on the pizza pan, but a stone is able to pull the extra moisture out of whatever is being baked on it.

This comes to my next comment -- do not manually season the pizza stone (such as with olive oil, etc).Doing so seals up the pores of the stone and prevents it from doing what it is supposed to do: suck out moisture.If you do that, your pizza crust will not be a crisp as expected.

Over time the pizza stone will naturally season itself.However, the best way to use this is to sprinkle some flour on the pizza stone before using (like the way pizza parlors do).

When we use this pizza stone, we put it in the oven to preheat along with the oven.Once the desired temperature is achieved, we then place the pizza (frozen or fresh) on it while the stone is still in the oven.

Cuisinart CSC-650 Slow Cooker Review

Cuisinart CSC-650 Slow Cooker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I did quite a bit of research before purchasing this slow cooker.

America's Test Kitchen recommends West Bend Versatility slow cooker. It is a truly versatile model, but I didn't like its aluminum insert. As you may know, aluminum can be hazardous to health, so this slow cooker was scratched off my list pretty quickly.

The other models I looked at were All-Clad Stainless Steel Slow Cooker (available from William Sonoma only), Farberware Millennium (also recommended by America's Test Kitchen), Cuisinart CSC-650 and various Rival models ("various Rival models" has an interesting ring to it :) ).

All of the latest slow cookers are made in China, so I was somewhat concerned about the construction quality. One of the main reasons I picked Cuisinart model was a 3-year warranty, compared to just 1 year for the rest of the competition.

Another factor was the generally positive feedback from CSC-650 owners. Cooking.com is probably a better place to check for reviews, because they let you post a review only if you actually purchased that particular item from them.

I had this baby delivered to me about a week ago, and I put it to work right away. I must say I am satisfied with my purchase decision. Having said that, here's a list of things that I do and don't like about this machine...

Do Like:
--------
- 3-year warranty (1 year for every other slow cooker I researched)

- retractable cord (I wish every appliance had it!)

- cooks well (overall), and no, it doesn't burn food as some reviewers have indicated

- construction quality seems to be good, although it is impossible to say for sure until appliance is a couple of years old

Don't Like:
-----------
- stainless steel housing gets stained quite easily, should have been more fingerprint-resistant

- "Made in China": $99 is a premium price to pay for an item that was manufactured using cheap labor; manufacturers who reap huge profits from the North American market should invest into the local labor market

- cooks most things faster than recipies (even the ones included in Cuisinart booklet) indicate, so you have to keep an eye on your food to make sure it doesn't overcook

After purchasing the slow cooker, I headed straight to the local bookstore to pick up a recipe book. I skimmed through about 6-7 titles, and ended up buying Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook by Beth Hensperger and Julie Kaufmann. Most of its recipies are made from scratch and rarely use any canned ingridients. It also seems to have the best overall collection of recipies.

Yesterday, I had a few friends over and we had ourselves a feast. I cooked quite a few things in the slow cooker:

- Lamb Goulash (which was ruined/overcooked - the first thing I ever done in this slow cooker)

- Chicken Casseatore (not sure about spelling, it's from the Cuisinart booklet) came out nicely, it was around the time that I started looking closely after the cooking process.

- Short Ribs In Red Wine were perfect, here, again, the cooking time was 5 hours instead of 7 hours indicated in the recipe.

Overall, I am happy. I didn't experience any of the problems reported by some reviewers. I can safely recommend this appliance.

Microwave Space-Saver Cart Review

Microwave Space-Saver Cart
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It does have solid wood for the top pieces,braces, legs, doors and drawer front but the rest of it is pressed wood with wood veneer. I polyurethaned the whole cart to protect it from spills and it looks very nice but the veneers do not match the wood grain of the solid wood. The veneer is more fine type of grain while the solid wood has a larger grain appearance, it would have been nice if the wood grains would match better. The 2 top pieces look like a carving block and are very pretty. I didn't care for the way the back pieces are put together with pins, the pins are very loose and it was difficult holding the pieces together while trying to screw the top piece on. Other than that the stand is fairly easy to put together and seems to be sturdy once it is all together.
