A lot of toaster ovens pride themselves over their sleekness and their classy look. But a lot of them are difficult to clean and maintain. Most of the time, T Fal toaster ovens look the same but they have very different features. If you just spend time looking at the features of the toaster ovens sported by this brand, you will come to realize that they are different and would have to correspond to what you are looking for.

T fal ot8085002 avante elite convection toaster oven is one of the best models of T Fal. The price listed in most shopping stores is $140 but you can easily get a discount if you have some coupons or if you go to the store during sale season. This toaster oven is definitely worth the cost and performs what it is designed to do. Sure, there are some glitches and problems in its operations but on the whole, it lets you enjoy good food and helps you save time.

The convection feature of this oven is its strength. It circulates hot air evenly to the food being cook so as to make sure that it receives equal heat from all sides. Conventional ovens tend to have the source of heat on one side so you have to turn the food every now and then to prevent burning and uneven cooking. As a multi-functional oven, therefore, this T Fal model helps you broil, bake, toast, defrost and reheat food.

If you bought pizza in a nearby restaurant and put it in your fridge, you can take it the next morning and put it in the Avente Elite convection toaster and enjoy your food. Even if you pizza is 12 inches big, it can easily fit into the oven. The fan that helps in the convection process makes some kind of buzzing sound. But that’s just okay, it’s not annoying, really. You just know that your food is being cooked and you can enjoy it in just a few minutes of waiting!

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.
