We've done well enough in the past with TOs from Black and Decker but
the quality seems to be lacking in the newer ones. They may just be
putting their name on something made in China and never mind the rest.
The one we have now is from B and D bought 5+ years ago and is slightly
oversize. Will hold 8 inch square baking dish or 6-well muffin tin. One
with a removeable liner inside makes cleaning easier. Can't help you
with the rotisserie or convection oven cos we have the former and don't
care about the latter
