Breville Compact Smart Oven - toaster oven

When our old toaster oven finally died, I wanted to look for a product that did an all-around better job of toasting, broiling and baking.  I looked at countless reviews of items on the market and finally decided on the Breville.  The price (About $199) was a little concerning, but the reviews were so good that I thought I would try it.

We haven't been disappointed yet and we have had it for over two years.  It toasts bread, bagels (fresh or frozen) to perfection.  Every cake of pie that I've baked in it has come out perfectly.

The controls can be a little difficult to get used to, but once you get them down, it's a snap to do whatever you want.  The only criticism that I have is that they should have insulated the outside of the oven as it gets RED HOT when baking and toasting.

Some of the features are:

  • Heat setting range from 120°F to 450°F.

  • Eight preset functions include toast, bagel, bake, roast, broil, pizza, cookies and reheat.

  • Roomy interior accommodates a 12" pizza or four slices of bread.

  • Temperature conversion button and frozen-foods defrost button simplify cooking tasks.

  • “Smart” internal-sensor technology automatically adjusts power and calculates cooking time.

  • Easy-to-read backlit LCD display changes color when cooking is complete.

  • Two-hour timer has auto shut off.

  • Nonstick baking chamber.

  • Pullout crumb tray simplifies cleaning.

  • Includes enamel baking pan and enamel broiling rack.

  • Has a "frozen food" button to instantly and automatically recalculate cooking temps and times for frozen rather than refrigerated foods
