Tefal 5266.18 > Reviews (2)

We made dozens of cakes, and other stuff in this oven since the day we bought it. You can put stuff in it that's 30 CM(11.8 inches) wide. If you got big pizza's, you better cut them in half because this oven is not made for big things. In the box we found one plate to put in the oven, which you can slide in using 4 different heights. It would have been a lot better if they gave us 2 plates, so we could make more stuff at a time.

#The oven#

Its a small, powerful oven meant for small meals. You can see everything cooking through the glass door that opens like a glove bucket in your car. The maximum temperature is 280 degrees Celsius, the minimum is 100. The oven also contains a grill function. Due to the fact that the temperature scale is analogous, its sometimes difficult to set an exact temperature.
Choosable temperatures are:

100 - 115 - 150 - 175 - 200 - 225 - 240 - 260 - 280

After 280 you get the grill function. Under 100 degrees there isn't a temperature scale. However there are some dots that show u what temperature you got.

Power:

230 Volt
2200 Watt

#The outside#

The length of the power cord is 1 meter.

Ok, its a small white oven with one glass door. The white colour makes the oven very 'contagious
' (couldn't find a better translation). With this I mean that if you drop some food on the oven, you will see it very clearly and you cant leave it there for a few sessions.

Depth : 32CM
Width : 42CM
Height : 27CM

Its difficult to clean the bottom of the oven. Everyone messes sometime. In this oven there is an heat element with many gaps around it. The food can fall in one of these gaps and its hard to clean it afterwards. It also gives a nasty smell when you leave it there for one session.

On the door you can find some pictures with : 240C/40min Bread; 240C/70min Chicken; 240C/20min fish etc. (C= degrees Celsius.)

#How do I cook stuff in it?#

You can find 2 big round buttons that you can twist on the right side of the oven. The upper one is the on and off button. You can easily set it on or off, when you twist the button till the arrow meets '1', a light will start burning.

Now you will have to set the temperature. Under the on and off button you can find a button with around it a temperature scale. Put the arrow one the temperature you want it to be and wait for about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes the oven will have the temperature you wanted and you can put stuff in it. There is no light in the oven. So if its dark you cannot see what you are doing.
WATCH OUT!!! The glass door will get hot so you better don't touch it!

Final verdict:
This is a small, cheap oven for little families. If you want to make big meals you better don't buy this machine. Its ideal for 2 or 3 persons!
