Black and Decker Digital Rotisserie Convection Oven CTO7100B
Small countertop convection ovens are slowly taking over both the microwave and the bigger regular ovens. This is because they can cook food more evenly than microwave ovens without the need to flip it up and around. Because they are smaller, they use less energy than their bigger cousins. Unless you roast whole turkey everyday, the countertop convection ovens are a more practical appliance.
The Black and Decker Digital Rotisserie Convection Oven CTO7100B is one of the more popular brands of this kitchen tool. It features heating elements that are fitted at the top and bottom of the oven. Backed up with 1,500 watts of power, these elements can easily produce the heat to bake, broil, and toast a variety of food.
Switches on the oven casing allow the setting of temperatures and cooking times. To make things easier, however, the Digital Rotisserie Convection Oven offers eight pre-set combinations of cooking temperatures and times for the most common food categories. These are toast, bagel, bake, broil, cookies, pizza, frozen snacks, and potato. These pre-sets are activated with the push of a single button. If you are not satisfied with these, though, you can always change the settings. The cooking time of up to hours and temperature is indicated on an LCD display.
An internal fan is incorporated within the oven to circulate heated air. This is what makes cooking even as the heat is uniformly distributed. This feature is fully appreciated when baking and roasting beef, pork, or chicken with the rotisserie.
The Black and Decker Digital Rotisserie Convection Oven CTO7100B has dimensions of about 14″ x 22″ x 17″. With these measurements, it is big enough to hold a casserole dish, six slices of bread or bagel halves, or a 12-inch pizza. It has a nonstick interior surface. And to make cleaning easy, it has a slide out crumb tray.
