This wasn't an issue that we saw in other, longer tests, which makes sense - the short cook time of toast makes it more susceptible to this kind of variance. However, sometimes it seemed to shorten it too much, causing the toast to undercook just a little. The timer adjusted automatically when the oven was hot to start with, shortening the cooking time, as it's supposed to. The one snag: consistency was a problem when starting from a hot oven versus starting from a cold one. It offers you seven different darkness settings, and for the most part, all seven accurately hit the mark. Surprisingly, not every model that we tested made toast as effortlessly as you might imagine (I'm guessing you can spot the problem child in the chart above.) Fortunately, the CSO-300 didn't give us any real trouble here. The first thing that you would expect a toaster oven to be able to handle is toast. Taste is a subjective thing, making it difficult to say that it cooks food any better or worse than another model, but in terms of doneness and consistency, the CSO-300 hit its marks time and time again. If you're going to buy a high-end toaster oven, you want to know that it's going to cook the foods you love to satisfaction, and in our expansive run of tests, the CSO-300 did an admirably steady job versus the competition. I also used the steam settings to reheat some leftover frozen pizza, and honestly thought that it came out tasting even better than the first time around. Even the delicate ricotta filling came out tasting fresh. The sauce was the perfect consistency and the noodles were nice and tender, not at all crunchy and overdone like they might have turned out in a standard toaster oven, and not soggy either, as you'd get in a microwave. Using the CSO-300, I was able to reheat it in less than 15 minutes, and with pretty remarkable results. I brought in some homemade manicotti from the night before. The steam settings are also ideal for reheating leftovers, especially when there's sauce involved. The CSO-300's steam settings can also help resuscitate last night's dinner.
