Proctor-Silex 31120 Pizza Oven

 (35 customer reviews)

I did a lot of research on toaster ovens before buying. I wanted a toaster and my wife wanted something that could toast sandwiches as well. Well this does both and so much more. I never wrote a review before but I thought I would write one now just to help people out that are looking and very picky like I am.

This toaster oven is spacious if you're looking for a pan to use inside this I found a 12x12x3 cake pan fits perfectly.

I originally bought it at Walmart for $29.94 + tax + shipping = $44 but they ended up never shipping the product after a week so I canceled and found Amazon had it that day for $29.99 + free shipping (my luck day). I would have happily paid $45 for this either way.

After reading the 80 or so reviews at Walmart, the reviews on Amazon, and various other websites I concluded the following: All toaster ovens are made in China, meaning they will break sooner or later even if the $249 at Macy's. If your lucky it will be later. After...Read more

You can fit a 9" brownie pan or a pizza, and it doesn't take up a huge amount of space on the counter, tho it is deep. Put it somewhere where you don't want to use the space in front of it for working. It's big for just making one slice of toast, but as soon as you put a couple of English muffins in there, you're glad you have the room. The oven *does* have a 450 degree setting, I don't know what the earlier review was about. My one complaint is minor, and that is, it's a tiny bit complicated to make toast: you have to set the temperature dial all the way past broil to toast, then push the timer past 10 and back to one of the squares that indicate either darker toast or lighter toast, and it isn't marked that that is even what they are, you have to read the manual. But, it has an easy-to-remove crumb tray and I figure that's an even trade. I just leave the dial on "toast" unless I'm using it to bake or broil.

Has 3" of vertical space above the rack.

Let's say a large chicken breast wrapped in alum foil is almost 3 inches thick and reaches up close to the top where the burner is. But nevertheless it bakes perfectly! For a quick Dennys stew I wrapped baking potato, onion, and carrot in with a microwave thawed chicken breast (or stewing beef chunks). Set at 450, "STAY ON", for hour + 15 minutes for extra long/very well done.

Timing/temperatures matches the range oven exactly.

Pizza is tasty crisp, unlike a soggy microwave pie.

Buy a 12" x 12" six cup muffin tray and it will fit in there and work fine.

Used in our house almost every single day for 2 years. Probably last another 10, it is simple mechanically.
