Excellent job on your review. Got this machine a couple of weeks ago and I'm having a blast learning how to use it. Great stuff. One thing you left off, though ... you didn't grill anything.
Thank you for the kind words! And yes, it's a pity that we didn't get to grill any meat because the video was kind of long already. Maybe we'll get to do it in a future video. In the mean time, please keep in touch with us about your experience with this oven.
Thank you for the kind words! It's this pair of meat shredder claws www.amazon.com/dp/B003IWI66W?&linkCode=ll1&tag=lunagbf-20&linkId=b82a9a2f3672509db0384027be642b80&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
You should check where the hot air is coming out and how hot the casing get at various temperatures. Most people will fit this device next to another one , not stand alone
Good point, we'll use an infrared thermometer to check next time. For now, although the oven has good heat insulation, the casing can still get quite hot to the touch after 400°F, especially after a long cooking time (over 15 minutes). Nonetheless, as long as you leave around 2-3 inches of space around the oven, it should be fine. But remember to not plug the oven to the same outlet as other appliances since ovens have pretty high wattage (usually around 1800 W).
Too bad cooking burger patties isn't one of our tests. However, we can assure the Cuisinart can grill burger patties (using the air fryer basket) no problem.
The Cuisinart doesn't have digital control so we had to use a separate oven thermometer to keep track of the temperature inside. Most digital toaster ovens will have a designated preheat phase where they heat up the oven to a predetermined temp (not necessarily the temp you choose) and then have some kind of audio cue. However, the Cosori Air Fryer Toaster Oven CO130-AO actually preheats to your actual input temperature and then keep beeping to let you know.
You absolutely can. The Cuisinart has really good heat distribution which help get even coloring on your cakes. Just remember to turn off convection so that the cake can keep the shape.
If you're worried about toxicity, we'd recommend copper, stainless steel, or cast iron cookware with no coating. However, foods may stick to them, making it more tricky to clean. Nonetheless, we suggest getting the cookware from known brands like Calphalon, Le Creuset, Cuisinart, and others.
For the exterior walls, you can simply spray them with all-purpose cleaner and wipe them with a soft cloth. For the interior walls, we prefer scrubbing them with soapy water and a scrubber sponge.

Yes, the Cuisinart TOA-60 has a total of 4 heating elements, 2 above and 2 below. Its air-fryer function deploy all 4 for better heat distribution. And they are nichrome, so they are easy to clean even if grease splashes onto them.
@@lcc726 Nichrome is an alloy of nickel and chromium. Nichrome heating elements use resistant heating as opposed to quartz heating elements that use infrared heating.
Is it coated with some non stick coating? I look for only stainless steel as I'm afraid of forever chemicals in non stick cookware. Thank you by the way. Your videos are well made!
You can read up on the details here healthykitchen101.com/toaster-ovens/reviews/cuisinart/cuisinart-toa-60/#cleanability . But in short, it's quite easy to clean overall. But the oven doesn't have an interior non-stick coating so you might need a baking soda and water paste to scrub off the burnt bits.
Yes, cooking burger patties straight in the oven may take too long and dry them out. Besides just cooking them on a cast iron pan, you can also use the cast iron pan with maximun heat to quickly get a nice crust and finish cooking the burger patties in the oven.
