Steam ovens can be amazing to use, but most people don’t know how to use them. Maybe that’s why the Oster TSSTTVDGXL-SHP doesn’t make a fuss out of that feature. Instead, you’re getting an extra-large convection oven with a good selection of digital features.
Traditional convection microwave ovens were always a package of contradictions – offering both convenience and a somewhat more convectional ovens that made you wait longer for your food. The newer digital convection ovens, on the other hand, use radio waves and digital controls to excite water molecules in your food to heat the meal. Just like a microwave does. They now offer excellent heat distribution and perfect cooking regimes.
After spending few days with this elegant easy-bake oven, you may still be unsure who it’s for. First, it occupies some space on the kitchen counter, unlike most small ovens. Second, it cooks pro-chef level meals even for starters.
With that profile, we’re convinced that it’s an oven for anyone who needs a big capacity oven, for a big family. It can cook food in seven different ways, has lots of automatic cooking presets, and is incredibly fast than its competitors. It stands out as an excellent choice for smart ovens.

Most oven open to the side, but this one opens downwards so you can easily access the pan at the bottom.
You’ll need to move your microwave off the counter to fit your Oster, as it’s 24 by 21.5 by 16.7 inches – bigger than a standard microwave. There’s some basic assembly to be done, meaning you’ll have to place the two racks in place and that’s pretty it.
