The Brew House

When it comes to kitchen appliances, no kitchen is complete without the two in one Hamilton Beach Toastation. This unique appliance offers much more than other toaster ovens. While the top of the appliance operates as a two or four slice toaster, the lower section is a mini toaster oven.

The toaster part of the machine is able to fit thick bread or bagels, and the oven is able to hold two large pieces of pizza. Equipped with a removable crumbs tray, it is easy to keep the appliance clean. The toaster has electronic temperature controls and a control for light to dark toasting. For safety, the oven is equipped with an automatic shutoff.

Rather than take up counter space with two separate appliances, the people at Hamilton Beach combined the convenience of the toaster oven with the traditional bread toaster. The oven controls are dials rather than digital, and it is large enough to fit items that are two inches high.

Historically, the complaint about toaster ovens is that they do not do a good job of toasting bread satisfactorily. The Toastation excels at making toast which is not surprising since it has an actual toaster built on top. It also toasts bread quicker than the traditional toaster oven.

The oven part of the appliance performs excellently. It is ideal for cooking fish, pizza, and reheating foods. The oven heats up rapidly and cooks foods quick and even. The Toastation is more energy efficient then traditional toaster ovens. For the single person or small family, this unit is sized just right and performs wonderfully.

For anyone who has limited kitchen counter space, the Hamilton Beach Toastation is the ideal appliance. This appliance conveniently combines the traditional toaster and toaster oven to provide you with a multipurpose unit. Even for those full size kitchens, this is an item that is very affordable and makes sense.
