Infrared Heating Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo, wit

About the oven
I’ve been using the Oven several times, and it’s everything I wanted in a high-end appliance. The non-toxic enamel-coated interior is incredibly easy to clean—just a quick wipe, and it’s spotless. The sleek design adds a touch of sophistication to my kitchen, and the extra-large capacity is perfect for family meals without taking up too much counter space. With 10 functions and fast, even cooking thanks to the infrared heating, it’s versatile and reliable. If you want a premium oven that’s easy to maintain, this is the one!

Works well, Hot to touch
The VAL CUCINA Infrared combo oven does a nice job of cooking meals, heating up left-overs, and is easy to operate. There are several presets for specific foods and types of cooking and once set they can be adjusted to your own requirements. There are heating elements on the bottom and the top so food can be cooked from both directions. The top elements can be used for broiling foods. A broiling pan and inserted rack is included, but it is not wide enough to fit in the guides on the sides of the oven inside. Therefore you must use the metal rack to set it on. This seems odd to me as I feel it should fit in the side grooves as the other racks do.It comes with a large basket for air-frying or cooking in general. I’ve used it to cook chicken breasts, breaded vegetables, fries, and more. It also comes with a rack to cook large items on or to place a heat-resistant dish or container.The oven does a good job and I have used it several times in the past few weeks while giving it a through testing period.I deducted one star due to the outside panels getting hot. There is a warning stamped into the top of the oven as seen in the attached photos and also a label attached to the top with warnings about the heated surfaces. I would like to stress that one inch away from the surfaces the ambient temperature is 80 degrees on all sides and the front glass. But I would advise placing the oven out of reach of children that may touch it. Below I have listed the temperatures of the surfaces to touch. Other than being careful of touching the surfaces I do recommend this oven for everyday use in my kitchen.Surface temperatures while using oven at 400 degrees:Top is 180 degreesBack is 248 degreesLeft side is 148 degreesRight side is 101 degreesFront glass is 248 degreesBottom is 200 degreesNote all temperatures were replicated three times using a digital instant temperature probe.

Can’t say enough good things
Easy clean first and important! Holds great temperature, doesn’t cook more in the back than the front (also super important). Love the timer, temp control. there is nothing bad I can say about this unit!

Effective and stylish!
I have always been an air fryer skeptic. It’s really just a convection oven, right? Apparently not. This combo oven has become a workhorse in my kitchen. It has been great for cooking up things like crispy brussel sprouts, reheating pizza, and broiling a layer of cheese on top of my Mac and cheese. It is also good looking by toaster oven/air fryer standards and makes a nice aesthetic addition to the kitchen. It fits a standard quarter sheet pan which makes it easy to swap out. Operating the dials for selecting cooking modes, time, and temperature was not the most intuitive but I quickly got the hang of it. Overall, would recommend.
