T-Fal OT8085002 Avante Elite Convection Toaster Oven Review
I agree with many of the reviewers and will not repeat the details. I owned a wonderful Panasonic toaster for many years and although it looked bad (old and worn) in my new kitchen, I could not find a replacement I was happy with, until this one. I tried the Cuisinart and returned it. My main gripes were that I need an auto shut-off, that is one of the main things I like about using the toaster oven, and that the crumb tray should slide out from the front. It is ridiculous to have it any other way. I also wanted something my older kids wouldn’t find difficult to use, as they are not as motivated to read the manual as I am. This T-fal fits those requirements with a few extra pluses, such as the warming drawer, and a depth of only 10 1/2 inches that doesn’t jut out onto the counter like the Cuisinart. The only thing that keeps this toaster from being perfect is that the default baking timer is set to 30 minutes. My most frequent toaster oven tasks are for 3-10 minutes, so holding the button down until it reaches the lower numbers is a drag. I would much prefer it started at zero or even 5 or 10, and I could hold it down on those occasions that I needed more time.
