5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent counter top oven, February 6, 2010

This review is from: Hamilton Beach 31199XR Countertop Convection Oven (Kitchen)

We purchased this one after reading the reviews here of several models. I called the mfr to learn the differences between the 31199XR and others, and was told 31199XR lacks the rotisserie components. That's fine with us as we would never use them! It also lowered the price quite a bit. If you do not plan to use the rotisserie, buy this model!

We bought it because the thermostat on our very old range died, we can't find a replacement, and we are planning to remodel the entire kitchen next summer---so we did not want to buy a range just now.

The convection seems to speed up browning of items but not necessarily cooking all the way through, so you have to be careful --- we browned a couple of pot pies last night more than we wanted to! We are still getting used to using the convection feature.

The oven bakes everything in the same time as usual with a full size range. The difference is in the preheat time---it preheats way faster than the large stove. Also, we use the convection feature to speed the preheating phase and then turn it to Bake for the actual cooking. We have an oven thermometer hanging from the rack.

I roasted a 7 lb turkey breast in it shortly after it arrived--everything perfect. I did have to put foil on the bird partway through cooking, to keep it from overbrowning, but I do that for the full size oven, too.

The top does get hot but not as blazing hot as some reviews indicate. Ours is placed well away from cabinet bottoms, other appliances, etc. All of our existing casseroles and pans will fit inside except a 13 x 9" baking dish. I have a lot of Corningware pyroceram and even the large oval French White casserole fits (rather snugly).

You have to keep the inside spotlessly clean---these electric ovens *will* start fires if you leave a lot of grease and crumbs inside. The bottom pulls all the way out, for cleaning in the sink -- that gray thing in the photo is the handle that runs along the edge. The racks also come out, and when it is cool you can clean the inside easily. If you bake something that drips, like yams, put a piece of foil under it to make cleanup easier.

Someone in another review said he burned his hand opening the door--- I place my hand over, not under, the handle when opening the door and I do not get burned---I also have in my possession a number of potholders, and I use them! : -- )

We are very pleased with this purchase and to tell the truth, we are planning to continue using it after the remodel. It's great for baking something for one or two. I highly recommend it.

I have the Hamilton Beach model #31197 which is a tad bigger than this model, although they are both large. In mine, you can cook a whole 5 lb whole chicken. So far I've baked 3 whole chickens, one pot roast, grilled salmon, and 2 cakes. It does a beautiful job. It takes 1.5 hours for the chicken to brown but it comes out very delicious. AND YOU DONT HAVE TO BEND DOWN TO OPEN AN OVEN DOOR TO CHECK YOUR FOOD. YOU CAN SEE IT STANDING UP. One important note: USE AN OVEN BAG when baking your meats (especailly chicken) and you'll never have to worry about messing up the pans or splatter getting on the oven walls. I hear people complain. You wont find tall counter top ovens like these in the stores, so I say "BUY IT". You might want to check out the model I bought which looks just like this one but is a tad bigger (model#31197).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Oven!! Horrible Shipping Company!!!, August 10, 2009

I LOVE this oven, I've had it before!! Its PERFECT for Breads,muffins,cupcakes, cookies, etc!!!BUT, I DON'T use it for ANY greasy foods....Only because the oil (from the meats,chickens,etc)splatters, and SLOWLY gets stuck on the fan part(convection setting), and after a few months,the fan for the Convection oven setting slowly stops rotating at the speed it should.Its difficult to open up, and clean off the blades to the fan also.So, but as far as the oven goes, its great, for ALL PASTRIES!!! Cooks the breads, etc, evenly, and perfectly everytime!!! Pizza works very well in here too! We make our own 12" pizzas and use this oven ALL the time!! As far as the shipping company goes,"CEVA", IT'S AWFUL,AWFUL,AWFUL.*** Amazon should change the shipping company! They were LATE, after I waited way past my delivery time, they told me they were running late, and i had to wait a few hours more. they are NOT punctual at all, and they do not ring the bell.they leave the item at the front door!! No Good!!!
