Cuisinart CSO-300 adds steam to usual toaster oven arsenal

Does this $299 toaster oven live up to the price? Our team weighs in.

With multiple steam cooking settings, the ; successfully expands the functionality of the common toaster oven, and it sports a luxurious, easy-to-use interface, as well.

At $299, that new steam functionality doesn’t come cheap. On more traditional settings like toasting and broiling, the CSO-300 couldn’t consistently beat the less expensive competition, and when it did, it usually wasn’t by much.

Creative home chefs looking for a powerful, versatile alternative to their full-size oven should give the CSO-300 first consideration, but those just looking for something to heat up Pop-Tarts and Red Barons should stick with something less expensive.

Cuisinart CSO-300 Combo Steam + Convection Oven

Personally, I'm not sure that rice pilaf gets me excited enough to want to spend $300. That said, if you've already decided that you want to splurge on a high-end toaster oven, then you've certainly got a few good-looking options. Some of these, like...

Beware of Defective Items

At first the steam unit did not work. ABT accepted the return and gave me a replacement. No questions asked. Very good service. I am pleased with the steam convection oven. There is a slight learning curve since the food cooks in half the time. I am...
