A:AnswerHello lina,
Yes, the Insignia Toaster Oven heats evenly for baking. There are three cooking modes that you can choose from: toast, bake and broil. Bake mode uses the upper and lower heating elements to heat food evenly.

A:AnswerHello. Cooking foods in a toaster oven for an extended period of time can cause heat transfer to not only the internal oven walls and floor, but to the external cabinet, as well. In addition to the heat that is generated outward from the food being cooked, the oven interior lamp and the magnetron tube will also contribute to external heat transfer. This is normal. The exterior case may have symbol (triangle with waves) stamped in the metal. This symbol means "Caution, hot surface". The external temperature may also vary depending on depending on the type of food prepared and the length of the cooking time. We hope this information helps.

A:AnswerThe crumb tray can stay it’s not blocking heat. I would use bottom shelf but watch out that’s closer to the heating element and might burn a touch on the bottom.
