In an effort to conserve energy, my wife and I decided, after giving our old toaster oven to her mother because her mother’s toaster oven had finally gone the way of retiring toaster ovens (Landfill Haven?), we purchased a six-slice convection oven made by Oster.

The first one we received had a digital display that appeared to have fallen behind the digital control panel.  Eve at Oster customer support said they had never heard of that one before and it sounded like a problem – she directed me to Amazon because the oven was still under a 30-day warranty backed by Amazon.

Ashfaq at Amazon graciously handled the return/exchange process with ease via chat.

Our new replacement, same model, arrived about a half-hour ago, a matter of days after our return was sent – sufficient for us to say “Job well done!” to the folks involved behind-the-scenes at Amazon.com, FedEx, etc.

Our new Oster TSSTTVMNDG Digital Large Capacity Toaster Convection Oven in situ as of a few minutes ago:

Bagels, anyone?

We’ll also try the Airbake Ultra By T-Fal 15 x 12-Inch Insulated Nonstick Crisper Pan and CDN High Heat Oven Thermometer we purchased to go along with the oven.

Life is simple – get cooking!
