Thermostat is inaccurate, terrible for baking
Purchased to replace our poor, deceased Hamilton Beach toaster oven. Do not try to warm delicate items like croissants because:
1. Both top and bottom elements come on when baking. This will char the item. There is no difference between toasting and baking. This seems to be a common characteristic of all toaster ovens these days.
2. The thermostat is inaccurate. I calibrated it with an accurate temperature meter. Here's what I found:
Setting -> Actual
150 -> 225
200 -> 300
250 -> 335
300 -> 370
350 -> 450
