Cuisinart brings a classic approach to modern cooking with the Cuisinart Convection Toaster Oven Broiler. Industrial styling, six cooking options, including convection bake, and convenient keep-warm function make this multi-functional countertop oven a valuable addition to any kitchen. Baking: Baking function can be used as you would normally use your kitchen oven for roasting meats including chicken, or baking cakes, cookies and more. Convection Bake: Convection baking/roasting uses a fan to circulate heated air around food as it cooks. For best results, use cookie sheets with no sides and baking dishes and roasting pans with very low sides to let maximum air- flow reach food. For the same reason, do not cover foods while cooking. Broiling: Broiling function can be used for beef, chicken, pork, fish and more. It also can be used to top-brown casseroles and gratins. Caution: Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering the broiling rack. If covered, the foil prevents the fat from dripping into the drip tray. Grease will accumulate on the foil surface and may catch fire. If you choose to use foil to cover the drip tray/baking pan, be sure foil is tucked neatly around the pan and does not touch the wall or heating elements. Toasting: For even toasting, always position your item/items in the middle of the rack.
