CSO-300N1 Steam & Convection Oven, Stainless Steel

I bought this unit in 2019, use it daily and works to cook toast mostly. Cooking pizza and other convection foods it works as advertised. Using the steam function and baking works, wish it only did steam function for some foods. I previously had a Cuisinart convection oven and was working fine, but wanted the steam function for many years. Overall, I think this is a good product. The bad is you need to clean and make sure there is a way for the steam/vapor to drain into the catch drawer which I clean out frequently. I use aluminum wrap and poke a hole for the drain and clean weekly all debris. My old unit wasn't as fussy about being clean.

I agree with many reviewers! After purchasing this, I stopped using my old oven! I just cook for myself and bake, bake/steam, broil and so on, only in this Incredible Steam Convection Oven! It steams veggies, reheats my food, bakes a perfect 4 pound chicken, broils an excellent salmon or Flat Iron steak! It is Easy to understand and use! Easy to clean! Has a steam clean cycle. I keep mine even cleaner using a Magic Sponge to wipe it out after cooking really greasy things like the chicken or steak. I love whomever invented this product! You can even steam hardboiled egg or with practice poached eggs in a muffin tin! When I move this IS definitely coming with me!! I imagine for a small apartment, this would be the PERFECT kitchen accessory! Very Satisfied!! UPDATE: March 2019. They did finally find someone else who was making these racks and did send me a new one at no charge. So I am delighted and happy to finally have one! UPDATE: My unit started leaking bottom right corner. (I did not read the instructions about Descaling once a year, so I don't know if that was the issue.) However, i called and had to mail them my unit (I had KEPT the boxes it came in!) Cost me $46.00 UPS ground from where I live, however, they replaced it with a Brand New Unit! CUISINART ROCKS!! They are the BEST! Use this daily and also a food processor, mixer and other things! Their products are the BEST! Thank you Cuisinart!

Summary: (Specifics follow below) This is a great little oven with a small amount left to be desired in my experience. I’m a single guy who doesn’t like the idea of using a microwave (yeah yeah, tinfoil hat and such) and this machine helps me steer clear. I would especially recommend this to anybody who has similar ambitions. Pros: -Steam option is great with the right application (great for leftovers!!) -Sharp looking and well-built -Easy to use -Heats evenly and quickly -Toast function is nice - but pay attention cause it’s easy to burn your toast if you leave the bread in after the buzzer -Self-cleaning with steam works quite well and how awesome is that?! -Loads of combos with steam worked into oven functions -The pan that comes with it is nice and of good quality Cons: -No standard dry oven function, only convection!! -Beep is obnoxiously loud and cannot be turned down or off because it is used for the timer alarm too -Every function is set to a timer that powers the heating element - can’t just leave things a little longer without restarting the heating sequence. Notes: -Mold could be a factor if you’re not diligent in cleaning/drying your oven after using the steam function. - Hard water could probably wreak havoc on this oven...I’d recommend using distilled or RO water

Nice quality and works well. I use this convenient counter top oven to warm up left overs in place of my microwave. My food is piping hot within 10 minutes of the bake/steam option at 400 temp. It does a great job broiling and baking also. I love the added steam option-keeps all of my food nice and moist.

Bought this in June, 2019 on the recommendation of a friend. Loved it! The steam function improved my artisan breads (I don’t need the steam function for daily breads or non-artisan breads). Steaming veggies was convenient too. Roasted chicken was fabulous! I felt like extra $$$ paid was well worth it... The steam function broke in less than a year. The oven still works for Toast, Convection Bake, and Broil (without steam) only. The other 5 settings/options will make the oven beep loudly – and the steam clean option of course doesn’t work either – more loud beeping, no steam whatsoever. I no longer think it was worth the extra $$$. I cleaned the oven regularly and emptied the water chamber when not using – and it still broke. I paid for the Steam functions and cannot use them. Waste of money for me.

I like everything about this oven, that is compact yet big enough to prepare enough food for 4. and programming is working perfect, and light feature is cute and very helping to take a glance of food being cooked. The option of steam cooking is precious, as I cannot get the same result in the usual big oven. So I cannot say anything cons about this oven. Highly recommend!

Bought it for the steam function. Very nice and healthy way of cooking.

I bought this item at May 2nd, 2022, and today my mom told me that the steamer is liking water, and I found out the steam function is really not working anymore. Its just after 7 months. The quality is not reliable.
