Cuisinart TOB-50 Report


Cuisinart TOB-50 Review by K.Wong (Burnaby, BC)

We've been enjoying this oven for a few years now and it's been great. It's small enough to sit comfortably on your kitchen counter without taking up too much space but large enough to take over some baking chores from your large oven. However, we too encountered the sticky door problem. Although this oven may not be widely available anymore, I hope this fix helps anyone that is still encountering this issue.

--- PROBLEM ---

As other reviewers have mentioned, the door would get progressively harder to close over time. Eventually it won't close even if you slam it shut.

Since this oven was quite a bit more expensive than regular toaster ovens, I was determined to find a solution. Fortunately (or unfortunately, as my wife tells me), I like to take things apart.

--- REASON ---

The problem is with the hinge mechanism. As noted in the Amazon video, the door is to be left slightly ajar when broiling to increase air circulation. This mechanism allows the door to remain slightly open. However, it relies on friction and over time the door will get harder and harder to close.

--- SOLUTION ---

1. Open the oven door completely. The hinge mechanism is on the left (when facing the oven from the front). You will see a long, flat, on-edge, metal connector from the door to the oven. Place your finger on top of the connector and slowly follow it towards the oven. When your finger drops down (the metal tab curves down), stop.

2. Apply some vegetable oil (or other lubricant) on this curved area. Don't use too much! You can always apply more if needed. A Q-tip dipped in lubricant worked well for me.

3. Try closing the door a few times. The action of opening and closing transfers the lubricant from the metal tab to the metal door stop (not visible). Repeat from step 2 until your door closes smoothly. Usually, several applications is all you need.

4. Enjoy your "new" oven.

We had this oven for two years when the door stopped closing and the handle fell off.

Dont ever walk away for more than a few minutes. It will decide to broil things at any time. It doesnt matter what the heat setting is.
Dont trust it!!!!

It should just be called a broiler.
