Wolf Gourmet Elite Digital Countertop Convection Toaster Oven-Review

Overview

You may have noticed that Wolf has been introducing more and more countertop appliances. It is a logical extension of bringing the Wolf "wolf" into the kitchen. The Wolf Gourmet Elite Digital Countertop Convection Toaster Oven is the latest offering.

This is a convection toaster oven that distributes heat in a way that results in even cooking. The oven can be used on your countertop and comes with a variety of cooking modes and a temperature probe that can be used to test the doneness of food.

The oven also has convection setting, allowing the air circulating within the oven to be heated at the same time as food inside is being cooked. This means that there will be no cold spots within the oven and food will cook evenly.

The Wolf Gourmet Elite Digital Countertop Convection Toaster Oven is not much larger than a toaster oven. It measures 15.75 x 12.75 x 10.25 inches (W x D x H) and weighs approximately 11.2 pounds. It has a nice stainless steel exterior that is easy to wipe clean. The inside of the oven has a black non-stick interior. There is a removable crumb tray for easy cleaning and the door easily opens for adding food or removing your food.

Ease of Use:

Easy of use

This Wolf Gourmet Elite Digital Countertop Convection Toaster Oven was very easy to use! The directions came with pictures and were very easy to follow. It took us less than 10 minutes to figure out how everything worked and get our first snack cooked. The inside was very easy to clean and didn't seem to get dirty as quickly as some of our other toaster ovens. The crumb tray was very easy to pull out and clean.

Performance:

The first thing we cooked in it was a frozen pizza. We put it in the oven on the BROIL setting and it cooked the pizza very quickly. We also cooked frozen chicken nuggets, French fries and potatoes in it to see how quickly it heated up. Each of these items were heated up very quickly, almost instantly. We also used the proofing setting for a couple of bagels and we were able to fit two bagels in at once.

This Wolf Gourmet Elite Digital Countertop Convection Toaster Oven has a lot of functions! It has 7 different functions, including bake, roast, broil, warm, proof, bagel and toast. The oven comes with an instruction guide that tells you what each function is used for and how to do it. The temperature probe is also very easy to use! You just plug it into the oven, set the desired temperature and wait until the probe reaches that temperature. Once the oven reaches that temperature, it shuts off automatically.

Value:

Overall, we think this is a great oven! It is much more affordable than the full sized Wolf ovens and offers many of the same features. It is easy to use and heats up very quickly. The only drawback was that it was a little small for most of our meals. It would be a great addition to anyone's kitchen!

What We Like:

  • Very easy to use
  • Easy to clean
  • Heats up quickly
  • Great value for the price
