Yea yea... So I stumbled upon Eric Ripert's new site where he uses this Cuisinart convection toaster oven for all his cooking and there was that damn link to buy it for like 50% off on amazon. I have a small problem with amazon.com. There is something about that "buy in 1 click" button that gets me every time. I have been wanting a toaster oven ever since the "melty sandwich" phase that I went through last winter. All it took was seeing this thing in action, then finding it on amazon.com for me to give in. The fact that it's also a rotisserie helped quite a bit as well.
Simple dinner last night. A roasted beet and zucchini starter with goat cheese and Maldon. Followed by a roti-quail, some charred red onions, grape tomatoes and basil leaves.
Oh, and Karl brought up a good point in the comment section of this post... I never mentioned how the little oven worked. Well.. It worked awesomely. Did exactly what I expected it to do and was true to temp. Next time I do a small bird on the roti I'm going to glaze it in order to really show off the potential of this thing. I see a dark mahogany colored bird sometime in the near future. I will continue to use this for most of my indoor oven cooking over the next few weeks in order to explore some of it's other abilities... Although you can focus on Ripert's site for this info in the long run.

I think at the end of the roti video you should pop your head in the camera real fast and scream just to scare the shit out of unsuspecting watchers such as me who anticipate a gentle video of a bird spinning in an oven.
Also, how did the thing work?
