The Hamilton Beach Convection Countertop Toaster Oven is a fan-assisted oven that is somewhat similar to a traditional oven. It has a built-in heating element and the fan circulates the air in the cooking chamber. The fan reduces the thickness of the stationary thermal boundary layer, which works as an insulator and decreases the amount of heat that reaches the food. Thus, the oven heats up evenly, which is rather different from a conventional oven. Get a copy of this great and enjoy your life once and for all.
