- Great kitchen addition I purchased this oven after reading the reviews posted and I am in total agreement that this little oven is worth every penny. We are a family of four (two teens) and ever since this little toaster oven has arrived, our large oven has not been turned on (really good now that summer is here) and I have tossed our old toaster. We have prepared many family staples including frozen taquitos, hashbrowns, pizza, banana bread, chocolate chip cookies, toast, cinnamon rolls with more to come. The oven is easy to use and has facilitated the kids fixing their own meals. In addition, we only have a single regular oven, so it is nice to have a second little oven available to do side dishes, garlic bread, etc. The oven looks great on the counter and compliments our other appliances. I purchased the pizza pan and chopping block accessories from your web site and both items are very handy to have.

GREAT
Lives up to every said about it. Browns better than my stove oven.
- WORTH EVERY PENNY! We are delighted with this oven, which replaced an inexpensive one that didn't do half the things this does and was impossible to clean. This is top quality, right at commercial grade, and doesn't take up too much room on the countertop. Its features are so many, we'll only be using our 36" oven for large meals, as the CSM cooks evenly. In fact, our microwave won't get used much anymore, either. Reheated food in the CSM retains its flavor and stays warm to the very last bite. We were reluctant to spend this much money, but it is truly worth every penny! Like Joanne stated, a slide-out rack upon door opening would be nice, and we wish the volume of the bell that rings when cooking is complete could be increased.
- LOVE IT I just received my 650xl last week, and I truly love it. It cooks quickly and precisely. I originally purchased the 800xl but had to return it because it took up too much room on my counter. This size is perfect. I no longer have to turn on my 36" oven to heat up a slice of pizza, or bake a small batch of pre cut store bought cookies, which my kids like to do on a daily basis. The only issue I have, is that the baking rack does not silde out on when the door is opened on the toast level. This is a nice feature on the 800xl which makes taking toast out much easier. Otherwise I would highly recommend it. The construction is of high quality. I purchased mine from ABT.com and received free shipping and did not have to pay sales tax. I had been waiting since December for the 650xl to be availbe in stores, but I couldn't wait any longer, and I'm glad I didn't.

Stuff Your Peppers with Leafy Green Juice Pulp
Using the pulp from my juicer ensures that I get all the nutrients from my produce. And the juicer does most of the chopping and mincing work for me, so the pulp is more or less ready to toss into a recipe, as is. Put that in your pepper.

Baklava, Exotic Easy
Baklava’s origin is impossible to pin down, so ingredients and recipes vary. Almost any nut, from almonds to walnuts, pistachio to pecans, can be used. This exotic treat is equally fantastic for entertaining a group, or for a special night at home.

Healthy Juice Makes Delicious Chocolate Cake
Everything left over from making blueberry, cucumber, and papaya juice is put to use in this tender, moist chocolate cake. Pulp from the blueberries and cucumber replaces some of the oil in the cake recipe, and papaya pulp filling sets off the rich chocolate perfectly.

Valentine’s Day Chocolate Two Ways
There’s no overestimating the power of chocolate –– whether it’s a soothing remedy at the end of a long day or a festive celebration, it’s an indulgence universally acknowledged as euphorically delicious and nearly impossible to resist. And few could argue that one of its most significant roles comes around each February. Today's recipes play up chocolate’s fruity counterparts, while staying true to its extravagantly indulgent character.
