Cuisinart Custom Classic Toaster Oven Broiler + 2-Slice Toaster

In this review of the Cuisinart Custom Classic Toaster Oven Broiler paired with the Metal Classic 2-Slice Toaster, the bottom line is practical kitchen versatility for small households. The package suits anyone who wants a roomy countertop oven that can broil, bake and toast an 11-in pizza alongside a compact two-slice toaster for everyday quick toasts. The biggest reason to consider these together is sheer flexibility: the 17-in toaster oven handles full meals while the 2-slice toaster offers fast, reliable breakfast tasks with precise shade control.

Key Features

• High power: The toaster oven delivers 1800 watts for rapid preheat, consistent broiling and even baking across the.5-cubic foot interior.
• Roomy capacity: The oven fits an 11-in pizza or up to six slices of toast, giving more cooking options than a basic toaster oven.
• Always Even shade control: The oven adjusts toasting timing automatically so slices come out close to the selected shade without constant monitoring.
• Convenient accessories: Included wire rack, baking/drip pan and removable front crumb tray make everyday use and cleanup easier.
• Compact 2-slice convenience: The CPT-160 toaster has wide 1.5-in slots, six shade settings and reheat/defrost/bagel buttons for flexible breakfast prep.
• Safety and cleaning: Cool-touch handle, automatic shutoff and nonstick interior reduce burn risk and simplify maintenance.

Who It's For

This combo is ideal for small families, couples or anyone who wants both a versatile countertop oven and a reliable two-slice toaster without dedicating a lot of counter space. It works well for people who cook small pizzas, broil fish or prepare multiple toast/ bagel types using tailored shade and bagel functions.

Those with extremely limited counter space or who need commercial-level capacity should look elsewhere, and if you require convection baking or smart controls, a different oven with those features would be a better fit.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good overall build quality and a stainless front that keeps a clean, modern look.
• Large interior for a countertop toaster oven, able to handle an 11-in pizza or six slices of toast.
• The 2-slice toaster adds quick, consistent daily performance with clear shade settings and handy buttons.
• Easy-clean nonstick interior and removable crumb trays simplify maintenance.

Cons

• Some users note mixed impressions of heat level consistency, so expect a brief learning curve when dialing in exact times.
• The toaster oven is not convection, so baking times may be longer than in a convection model.
