The stainless steel baking pan and air frying basket are easy to clean. Performance wise, the air fryer function doesn’t stack up against standalone air fryers. However, I was impressed with the bake and convection bake functions which are very speedy compared to my cuisinart toa60 standard oven and do, I think, compensate for the air fryer performance. The toasting was fine, but you’ll need to turn toast for best results. I used the broil setting and added sausages to the air fry basket so that excess fat would drip out into the tray below.

I was initially skeptical about Cuisinart’s TOA-65 Air Fryer Toaster Oven.

I also used the bake setting to bake up a small batch of my favorite granola recipe. In my normal oven it takes 20 minutes to bake with a stir halfway through, plus there’s the ten minutes or so that the oven takes to preheat.
