Highly versatile and easy to use, the 1,500-watt DeLonghi digital convection oven with rotisserie more than earns the space it takes up on your countertop. Besides baking, broiling, roasting, convection baking, warming, dehydrating, and defrosting, the oven features a user-friendly control panel with an intuitive layout, clear lights, and a readable display. Its upper heating element drops down for better heat distribution, while reflectors on the crumb tray send heat back up from the bottom. On the convection setting, the HeatCirc channeling feature creates a uniform flow of hot air so foods cook faster without drying out. The oven also includes a special pizza function that cooks two pizzas at once and a 12-1/2-inch detachable rotisserie for roasts. Other handy controls include a two-hour timer, eight distinct cooking functions, and a temperature range from 250 to 475 degrees F. The slide-out crumb tray and DuraStone enamel interior make it easy to keep the oven clean. To get you started, DeLonghi includes two wire racks, a pizza tray, a lasagna tray, a shallow pan, and an elaborate instruction manual with cooking tips. --Emily Bedard

A High Priced Pizza Oven / Breadbox,
By Slo_n_sloppi "gizmo101" (WI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Delonghi AD1079B Retro Convection Oven with Rotisserie (Kitchen)
This purchase has settled in as an extremely expensive pizza oven and / or breadbox. As previously stated by another reviewer, no mention of oven size - now that the unit has been purchased, I find none of my bakeware - other than loaf pans and 9"x9" cake /pie pans will fit inside! Interior is approx 13"x13"x12" giving approx 1.1 cu ft. Cookie sheets, jelly roll pans, standard size sheet cake pans will not fit inside.Cleaning the inside of the enamel surface is a challenge, and in many cases requires scouring powder - yuck. Cooking on the spitt can cause the item being cooked to spray the interior with juices as the cooked piece of meat heats up and expells moisture and steam, so interior cleaning will be routine. The unit comes with a glass door - great for viewing what is happening inside - but poorly fitted / slightly warped window or unit case allowing a great deal of heat to escape during the cooking process - in addition, the exterior of the unit gets EXCEEDINGLY HOT as to present a fire hazzard to anything close which may be combustible - be extremely careful with this unit regarding this safety / lack of safety feature. Put absolutely nothing on top of this unit! The manufactured even suggest moving the unit three to four inches away from the back wall! I have solved this problem by putting the unit on a set of wire shelving - pretty much away from everything else. I was melting choclate chips in the closed cuboard a good foot above this unit, when it was on the countertop! Cooking time using the convection feature is not deminished - if anything, I find I must add cooking time to whatever I am doing. Manufacturer suggests lowering cooking temp by 25 degrees - don't listen - cook at the receipe temp and adjust (add) time as necessary. Controls are cumbersome to add baking time - you need to be a bit of a contorsionist - as two buttons must be pushed simutaniously - holding one button in, while "tapping" the time button +/- - extremely difficult to get your desired result as the "minutes" added is exceedingly quick - sometimes one minute is added, sometimes two minutes is added, sometimes 3 minutes is added per "tap" - can be very frustrating. Kind of like tapping your head and rubbing your tummy at the same time... The solid state control logic is a bit wacky - this thing beeps intermitently, during cooking, for no apparent reason - I think the unit has completed its task, only to find as much as six minutes still on the clock, with the unit happily beeping away... then when the unit does finish - many time nothing - no beeps - the unit just shuts down. Very strange. I am really trying to be objective here, and I really want to like this unit (who wants to admit a three hundred dollar buying error??) but try as I might, I cannot recommend this unit, based on my useage. But who knows - you may love it - many others here are gushing.. So, will this be the "Fiat" ("Fix it again, Tony") of toaster / convection ovens? Time will tell - will keep you posted. Update - Mid June 2003 - The enamel interior surface is starting to chip away in several places. Though the manual indicates 2 level baking, the lower level must be moved up to the upper level when the upper level baked goods are done (per recipe baking time - this is the ONLY batch you can use suggested bake time). The items from the lower level then must continue to bake half again as much time as originally indicated in the recipe. The new baking sheet added to the lower level can then be moved up - sound confusing? Makes it hard to keep track of baking times causing the baked goods (in this case cookies) to continually be monitored. Forcing you to constantly rotate the pans - never to remove the 2 pans at the same time. With this small oven, you need to use 2 pans, as I can only get 6 cookies on a pan - if you were only to use the one pan it will take you forever to get through a batch of cookie dough!

Delonghi AD1079B -Very Attractive/Impressive Oven,
By "jjrick4" (Old Chatham, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Delonghi AD1079B Retro Convection Oven with Rotisserie (Kitchen)
Received this oven yesterday (8-30-02). Used it to broil rib steaks for dinner (2). My husband and I were delighted with the results. Steak cooked perfectly and extremely tender - worth it just for the broil results. Also baked sausage and roasted peppers today with very good results.Very convenient and easy to use controls, easy to clean, and fits nicely on top level of microwave cart. Haven't baked with it yet but, based on the broiling and roasting results thus far, I can't imagine being dissapointed with this oven. Attractive and very well built oven that does what the manufacturer says it will. Totally pleased and recommed it highly.

Save Your Money!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Delonghi AD1079B Retro Convection Oven with Rotisserie (Kitchen)
I have been using this oven for about four months now, and I wish I had never purchased it. The fan is very noisy, the interior is terrible to clean, and the darn thing doesn't bake very well at all. It certainly isn't any faster than a conventional oven. In fact, I have to bake things longer than usual. August,2003.....The timer on my convention oven has now been broken for a couple months, and because I dislike the unit so much, I will not pay the postage to have it shipped and repaired. Most likely, the motor will go on it before too long as it is very noisy. I have to agree 100% with the review the Amazon customer from Wisconsin gave. I have owned two other convection ovens, the first of which lasted 20+ years, the second not too much better than this one. So, I have experience with convection ovens, and this one just doesn't make the grade!
