3. Chefman RJ25-6-SS
3. Chefman RJ25-6-SS Toaster Oven Countertop Convection Stainless Steel Oven
Moving on to the last game player from Chefman oven battle, you will discover the Chefman RJ25-6-SS multifunctional toaster countertop oven.
This is not just a regular small dimensions oven ( LxWxH 38 x 53 x 35 inches, exterior size ). It is an oven that works based on convection principles. What does that mean?
It means that the system works by circulating the hot air inside the oven, producing even more healthy meals with less consumption, even though its power is on a high level (1380 W).
This may be a good investment for your kitchen future.
Thanks to its large dimensions which even allows you to cook six large slices of pizza or 19l of food. It is also headed with one button to shut down and power on.
There are three buttons with variable cooking presets such as temperature, six food cooking type (bake, convection bake, toast, broil, keep warm, defrost), and a dedicated toast timer for all toast lovers.
A little bell will ring once your snack or dinner is cooked, and thanks to this function, you can enjoy your free time while you wait for the best meal of your life.
The oven also comes with four accessories (baking tray, crumb tray, and two wire-racks) that are easy to use and wash at the dishwasher or hand wash.
The large transparent window allows you to see how the cooking process works.
There is no need to open the door repeatedly or interrupt some processes that may interfere with the well-known final result (like when you bake cakes).
4. Differences
This chapter is the most important of all that we have discussed till now. Following this, you will notice the real differences between the three Chefman ovens and have a better perspective to make the best choice.
Each oven comes with good and bad sides. Here is what you need to know.
We should take a look at power as an important reference. We can see that the most performant oven is Chefman RJ50-SS-M20, and the less powerful is model 1 RJ25-4-CL.
Chefman RJ25-6-SS is somewhere in between. A better power can help you cook faster, which is very important if you have a limited time or if you are starving.
But the higher is the power, the higher the consumption will be, and your bills may go higher.
We should not forget that Chefman RJ25-6-SS has a convection system that helps with low electricity usage, allowing you to adjust the electric consumption according to your needs.
We have also noticed that Chefman RJ50-SS-M20 has bigger storage and cooking capacity.
This may be very important if you want to cook a large amount of food at once without spending the whole day in the kitchen.
While the first two models don’t have an inside light, Chefman RJ25-6-SS was well made with an LED light inserted in it.
It is a tiny bonus that can make cooking much pleasant in the dark mornings or evenings.
The first model has smaller dimensions than the other two, which may be helpful if your place is small, but this can be a little disadvantage if you need to cook more recipes.
Chefman 2 RJ50-SS-M20 has much more cooking function that could be important for your comfort and safety (auto shut off function and air fry etc.).
Have you have ever thought about how much a product’s weight can influence your life?
An oven may be a gadget for life, and lower weight can make the oven much easier to transport during movement.
If you’re not a static person, maybe you should put this into consideration.
5. Summary
After looking at all three Chefman ovens and seeing their differences, advantages, and disadvantages, maybe you are still unsure about the series that would suit your lifestyle.
Don’t worry! It happens to me all the time!
So, I’ll give you extra help and make a short overview of what we have mentioned by now, but I’m also going to tell which model suits who.
So, the first toaster oven model has a lower capacity, weight, and power, allowing you to quickly cook some snacks, fast-food recipes, or low quantities of food.
That’s why I think 1 RJ25-4-CL would be perfect for students, for single people, for those that don’t have so much time to cook at home or for those that travel very much and often change their place.
The second one is very large when it comes to cooking capacity and function, cooking presets, and so on.
This would be perfect for couples, families made up of two adults and maybe even one or two kids.
It however, depends on your family’s appetite. It could be a good choice for those who like to explore the kitchen international journey or those who like to serve a complex menu at the same time.
