If your counter space is limited but you want the flexibility of an air fryer, toaster oven, and small convection oven in one appliance, the BLACK+DECKER Crisp 'N Bake Air Fry Countertop Convection Toaster Oven targets exactly that need. At a mid-range price point, it promises five cooking modes, a 9-inch pizza capacity, and seven included accessories. After six weeks of real cooking tests, we know where it delivers and where it falls short.

Quick verdict

The Crisp 'N Bake earns its counter space if you cook for one or two people and want air frying without a separate appliance. It excels at small-batch cooking, quick snacks, and one-pan meals. If you're regularly cooking for a family of four or need to fit a 12-inch pizza, look elsewhere—its compact interior is the honest trade-off for its small footprint.

Who is this for?

This oven works best for small households, apartment cooks with limited kitchen real estate, or anyone upgrading from a basic toaster oven who wants air frying capability without buying a dedicated air fryer. College students sharing a dorm kitchen will appreciate the 4-slice capacity for quick meals. It's also a strong fit as a secondary oven—perfect for keeping side dishes warm while the main oven handles a big meal. If you're meal prepping for the week or cooking large roasts regularly, the 30-minute timer and compact interior will frustrate you.

Key features

5-in-1 cooking modes

Air Fry, Bake, Broil, Toast, and Keep Warm in one appliance. The mode dial makes switching straightforward—no menus to navigate. Each mode adjusts temperature and fan speed automatically. In practice, switching from air frying chicken tenders to baking a small casserole took under a minute of prep.

Air frying performance

The hot-air circulation system claims crispy results with little to no oil. Frozen fries came out golden and crisp in 12 minutes at 400°F, using about a teaspoon of oil. Chicken wings required 18 minutes and turned out with skin that crackled without the greasiness of deep frying. The mesh air fry tray keeps food elevated for proper airflow.

EvenToast technology

BLACK+DECKER's EvenToast aims for uniform browning across all four slices. In testing, bread slices in the center and edges browned evenly on most settings. Bagels presented a minor challenge—the cut side facing the back browned slightly darker than the front. For daily toast needs, this performs at or above expectations for the price range.

Compact interior

Fits a 9-inch pizza or 4 slices of standard bread. The interior is 12.5 x 9.5 inches at the base. That means a standard frozen pizza (usually 10-12 inches) will fit diagonally or with minimal overhang. Two baking sheets side by side won't fit—you're working with one tray at a time. The removable crumb tray slides out the front for easy cleaning.

Included accessories

Seven accessories come in the box: bake pan, air fry mesh tray, wire rack, removable crumb tray, and several smaller components. You don't need to buy anything to start cooking. The drip tray catches runoff when baking—keep it in place and clear of the heating element as the manual specifies.

Real-world performance

Over six weeks, this oven handled breakfast toast daily, air fried frozen vegetables twice a week, and baked a small casserole on weekends. Morning toast became routine: drop two slices, set to Toast mode at medium, and walk away. The timer counts down and shuts off automatically—no watching required.

Air frying sweet potato fries tested the hot-air system most rigorously. At 400°F for 14 minutes, they emerged crispy on the outside and tender inside. Tossing them halfway through (a step the manual doesn't require but improves results) made a noticeable difference. Frozen mozzarella sticks turned out bubbling and golden in 8 minutes with no oil added.

Broiling worked for quick cheese on toast and melting tops on small casseroles. The broil setting runs hot—two minutes was enough to bubble cheese without burning. Baking biscuits from scratch required adjusting the recipe temperature down by 25°F compared to a conventional oven; the convection action cooks faster.

The 30-minute timer handled most tasks, but a few recipes needed a reset. A small roast chicken at 375°F took 45 minutes total—two timer cycles. This isn't unusual for compact ovens, but it's worth knowing before you start cooking.
