Cuisinart TOA-65 Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven Review 

Hi Atef - thank you. I keep my format the same as I have been doing on RU-vid for the past 15 years - it's just 'me' with the crappy jokes. Glad you got a few smiles. Wishing you many great meals with your Cuisinart!

Hi - I am not sure, however, I did find a link to the manual online which also has recipes so you can give it a read: www.williams-sonoma.com/netstorage/pdf/149650-Cuisinart-Digital-Air-Fryer-Toaster-Oven-TOA-65-Manual.pdf

Hi - I have not done pork loins yet. Most recent adventure was drumsticks - basket in lower tray, sprayed 3 of them with canola oil and then used rotisserie seasoning - 15 minutes at 400 then turned then for another 15 minutes - wow. Came out real good!

I actually made a chicken breast. I took a guess, based on some recipes I found online. This is what worked well: 18 minutes total (one breast), 9 minutes each side at 375 in manúel air fry mode. The breast was sprayed with PAM Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and then crop dusted with Badia Rotisserie chicken seasoning. It came out kick-rectum!

Nice deal and a good find!! Just crossed check that it ships in the original manufacturers box to protect it during shipping. The original box and packaging was very sturdy.

Hi Donna - thank you. The air fryer is really good. I just made a Turkey burger. Glad you got a few smiles from my video.

Glad you enjoyed it! I have a few more to film and edit!

Agreed - took me a bit of time to get used to the interface. Yes, fan runs a bit to cool of the system, then it shuts down. And nice find on that price!!

Hi Bobby - I just went to the unit and checked the pre-programmed timing for 2 slices of toast at a shade of 6. It will run the unit for a little over 5 minutes. That’s probably longer than a traditional toaster, but I have not had one of those for a while. This unit replaced my toaster oven. The selector dial was cheap and wonky, but I had completed the warranty card and they sent me a new one. The replacement unit still has a dial that feels ‘loose’ but it does work correctly. A few other people had the same problem. I did purchase a small food scale. I now have perfect timings for turkey burgers and chicken breasts. I also have perfect timings for when they come out of the freezer, rock solid. Note that you do need to FLIP food over (at least the burgers/breasts) to get consistent cooking. In short, this device is a toaster oven with a fan at the top. It’s not the easiest to clean. I wipe down the inside glass and toss the crumbs from the removable tray. As far as getting into the back and scrubbing it down - nope, not going to do it. I use this hulking piece of metal every day. So far, it’s good - once you get down the weight/temperatures for some basic food items you like to cook. As far as basic stuff - toast, bagels, etc it has pre-programmed times and temperatures. Enjoy the holidays and Happy New Year - Alfred.

I still really like this device and I’m glad you got a few laughs out of that ridiculous video. As others have stated in the comments below, the main dial is a bit of poor quality and sometimes you have to struggle with it for the right setting. They went a little cheap on that main dial. I rectified the problem by spinning the dial quite a bit, there was probably a little dirt in there. Every once in a while, I have to give it an aggressive spin. I am going to make a phone call to the company. Perhaps your newer unit will have a better dial. Just save the receipts and if you get frustrated out of the box with the dial, send it back and let us know! Thanks! - Alfred

Hi David, after you use it, the fan will run for a while to cool off the unit, so just let it do what it wants to do. Also, make sure you fill out the warranty card because the knob on the unit is a bit wonky. Mine was replaced for free on the warranty but now, with time passing, the selector knob is getting wonky again, where it makes it difficult to select a time and temperature. Besides that, I love the unit.

Hi Nina - wow you scored a great price!! Yes, great appliance - just used it for a simple home made pizza!

Different model at Costco but close.

Different model number but it's exactly the same.

Hi Julie - the warranty replacement, so far has been fine. I’m hoping it was just a bad batch of selector knobs. We will see! Thanks for sharing your experience. - Alfred

Hi Sharon - oh wow - not a clue on that one.

No - this was newly recorded, editing, and uploaded.

Make a video of yours, Ben!

Hey Don! Thanks for sharing this info. Is anyone else having this problem? I too recently experienced it being a bit wonky (cheap dial in my opinion). I rectified the problem by 'spinning the hell' out of the dial back and forth. Let me know if that works for you, Don. - Alfred.

I have to agree that the knob is the chintziest piece of Chinesium they could find.

I might give a call the customer service over a Cuisinart. They need a kick in the nut sack for that damn dial.

Yes I have the same problem, takes a solid 3-5 minutes to get it to land on what you need. Ridiculous

David - it's a really good device! Highly recommended!

I am glad you enjoyed it! It was fun filming this one!!

Very good!! Such a great movie!

Such a great line!!! LOL!

Ricky - you are too kind. I really loved those movies! “Bingo!”

Hi Victor - thank you! All in good fun! Tune into the live show on Thursday nights, starting at 9 PM US/Eastern right here on RU-vid. We have a lot of fun with the viewers and the guest callers! You still doing the cigar business? Perhaps you can be a future guest to talk about your business! - Alfred

Hi Betty - thanks for the comment - it’s all in good fun. Glad you got a few laughs. The product is really good - do your shopping and find a good price on it! I use it almost every day!!

@@adiblasi Never going to find it at a good price as I live in Mexico. My T-Fal toaster oven died this morning after heavy usage for 7.5 yrs. Everyone is talking about air fryers so I thought this combo was a good buy. Plus it dehydrates which is a bonus.

@@bettyli6635 Yes, I have to admit, that’s why I started looking into an air fryer, because everyone was talking about them and almost to a point of driving me nuts. Previously I was using my mothers old toaster oven, but this combination our fryer toaster oven really was perfect. Sorry to hear about the T-Fal, I have one of their desktop small grills, it’s pretty good.

Thanks, Anna!

I’m so glad my viewers get all the little jokes embedded in my crappy videos!

It really makes a good Turkey BeastBurger!

I appreciate your honesty. The absolutely horrible, sophomoric humor only resonate with a select few. However, the device is actually pretty good and I do recommend it!

As I state later in the video (perhaps you didn't get there yet), I do reference the Trash Can Mac Pro as indeed probably doing an as good (or even better) job!

@@adiblasi oh watched it all LOL. I just think steaming something might yield a better product but I’m no Rachel Ray

@@Nautilat0r When the MacPro Trash Can dies, I will make it into a steamer! LOL!!! Hope you are doing well, Tanner!

The vulgar naming is perfect!

Theres one for ya lol

feed the algorithm :-) up or down, doesn't matter and COMMENTS feed traffic to yah! whoot! :-) I love reading angry comments just knowing that they are actually sending money to the folks they are angry at BWHAHAHAHAHAHA

Vin, you have done VERY WELL with your bad joke training!

@@adiblasi 10+ years of watching you will do that to a person LOL

Hello Ima - thanks for the feedback!

The Start/Stop button is the indicator - glows blue when the oven is on and turns off accordingly. You can hit the button mid cycle to stop. The digital readout will stay on for some time after until it goes into 'sleep mode'. Mine has been great aside from the knob starting to jump all over the place.

Yes - damn knob is like a video game. I still have to give them a call!

It still is quite the honor! Well done and thank you for viewing. Make sure you give the video a thumbs down!

Thank you Jake!

Excellent. Thank you. I hope all the other 'Club Thumbs Down' crew properly report in as. you did! It's an elite club!

Oh my! LOL

Yup.

I've never heard of West Bend... and I would never EVER spend $1500 for a Bravia toaster oven ROFL

Yes, the Bravia had a CRAZY price tag. The only thing good about "West Bend" is that in an unboxing video, I could refer to it as "West Bend-Over" for the purposes of being vulgar... Actually, that's kind of funny, especially if the product from West Bend was overpriced! LOL!

Yes - I opened up a case with them. Did you return yours under warranty?

Mine too

Adam, are you still under warranty?

I had to repair mine. It was a nightmare - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0p7XSNZElTQ.htmlsi=7H61lRYO1oU0NJez
