Hamilton Beach Ensemble 6 Slice Toaster Oven | Model# 31335D Reviews

We are very pleased with this Toaster Oven. It works very well. The dials are easy to use and so far everything we have used it for comes out great.

This thing cooks stuff like it should for the most part. The one issue I have with it, is the fact the top coils are hotter than the bottom. This makes cooking frozen pizzas an absolute pain because the top cooks a lot faster, making it so it looks fully cooked, yet the bottom is as soft as a fresh piece of bread. Placing the pizza on the bottom rack does nothing different. I've had to devise a way to prevent the top from cooking too fast, making domes out of tinfoil to place over the top of the pizza so it cooks evenly. Other than that, the thing works like it should. I've cooked all kinds of frozen foods, pizza is the only frozen item that just doesn't cook properly. Thing toasts as good as expected, no worries there. Just be wary that larger pizzas, even being thin crusts, will cook unevenly. The only pizzas that have cooked well on both sides, are the Totinos party pizzas. Traditional 12" pizzas are a hassle. It wouldn't be so bad if the cooker came with two oven racks, then I wouldn't need to make my tin foil domes, I could just lay a piece of it over the other rack. I'm honestly probably going to find a spare rack for this to make sure the pizzas cook evenly without having to make tin foil origami to ensure it's cooked correctly.

This is a good size and broils steak nicely. Gets a little hot around it so don't put anything too close when in use. Could be better insulated against heat loss but it works well and is lightweight. Love the touch of red.

I baked a pie in this! It has plenty of room, and I did not have to heat up the entire kitchen in a hot day. Looking forward to making a pizza, and muffins. Love the red color also. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This toaster oven is great! It is large, but not bulky so does not take up a huge amount of counter space. I baked a pie in it, and it fit with ease, and cooked perfectly. It also fits 6 slices of toast, which is great when feeding a bunch of people at the same time. I am looking forward in trying a 12 inch pizza in it. Perfect so you do not have to heat up your oven in the summer, or just want to bake a few things. Great product! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Received last week and I am very excited about it. I can replace 2 appliances with this one and save room on both my counter top and my Electric bill. Getting toast exactly right takes a little trial and error but it is worth it, I reheated left over lasagna in 20 minutes without preheating oven and it was great. Not crispy or burnt, and clean up was a breeze. It makes the best toasted bagels with no burning or sticking. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

First got this I made a pizza the bottom brown nicely but the top took more time and I had to keep turning it It holds a big pizza inside big and roomy The words to operate under the knobs were hard to see I made 4 slices of toast it did a really nice job on toast nice and evenly brown Easy to take out the tray to clean It's to big for my taste and takes up to much counter space and sticks out really far in back of toaster.

I love the fact that I can reach straight in to pull out the pans because of the way the door opens all the way down. It bakes nicely, too. The color is a true red, & not a metallic red, & that made me happy because I wanted it to match the other reds in my kitchen.

I put this toaster oven outside, on my balcony. I baked chicken thighs, which I removed and brought inside when done. I turned off the toaster oven and ate dinner. About 30 minutes later I heard a loud noise. I went to the balcony to see what happened and found that the glass on the toaster oven door completely shattered. At first I thought someone threw something at the door, but later found out that the change in temperature caused the glass to shatter. For goodness sake! It's summer in CA so the temperature differential isn't that great. The only saving grace is that the glass is safety glass and relatively easy to clean up. I will not purchase any more Hamilton Beach products!

I love my toaster oven . I can bake anything in it that I can bake in my stove oven. Oh and I can bake with less heat in my kitchen .
