love my Breville toaster oven

wagirl — Fri, 28 Apr 2017 15:24:00 GMT

I must sing praises for my Breville convection/toaster oven!! I LOVE that little thing!! I use it al the time and haven't turned on my big, oven in months. Does such a good job with everything I've done in it ----easy to clean, short time to heat up. Small footprint and easy on the energy too. I use my reg oven to store the new, bake/cookware for my new little oven. Now I need to find a good cookbook for convection cooking in it. Best $250 I've spent in a long while.

That's good to hear. I'd like to purchase a tabletop convention oven. My late mom always had one in her kitchen, she used it every day. Also saves on electricity over using a conventional oven, which pulls 220.

Everything Breville makes is top notch. This is about the only thing from them I don't have lol.

"Now I need to find a good cookbook for convection cooking in it."

For starters check out this link-->Convection Oven Calculator

I love my KitchenAid countertop convection oven. My stove oven is used for pots & pans storage.

Yeah I did to at first. About 6 months ago the fan quit working. I still use it but can not use convection.

Love mine too..my lighted panel went out after about 3 years and its not fixable so as my eyes get worse I sometimes have to use a flashlight to see what Mose I am in...but it still works like a champ after 6 years...

its my go-to...it's on a stand in my garage which is right off my kitchen door...if that makes sense.. it's sort of a second kitchen, with a refrigerator and pantry as well...

I've had mine about two years and use it every day. My big oven has become storage for baked goods, chips, etc. Haven't used it since I got the Breville.

I don't understand why anyone needs a special cookbook for something like the Breville as it's just an oven and any recipe will do. I don't find the convection function to be noticeable or a factor in cooking. Get an air fryer if you want real convection cooking.

Wagirl.... I have had my Breville for a little over a year. Since that time I believe I have used my reg. Oven possibly three times. As far as baking convection, I just go down in time maybe 5 minutes sometimes not at all. I use all my old recipes and new ones.

the one con Is utilizing my temptations 13X9 with the handles doesn't fit. But believe me I have others that do LOL.

@Haleighsgrams Did you contact them? 6 months means it would be under warrantee. They have excellent customer service.

@Kachina624. I haven't been impressed with my air flyer, argh. I have Chef Ming's. The reviews are excellent. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but nothing has turned out any better for me than in my oven. In fact, frozen things have a tendency to get too done on the outside before the inside is done. I've tried turning the temp down. Help!! Maybe my expectations were just too much.

@Reba055 Everyone raves about their air fryer. Sounds as though there may be something wrong with yours. Can you contact the factory or company CS?

@Kachina624 I think I will. I agree. Everyone raves about them.

Not the least bit interested in another fad appliance for my kitchen. Am trying to get rid of the many little things that do what I can do in my Breville.

I'm the opposite of you! LOL!!! I haven't had a toaster oven for 20 years at least and haven't missed one. I just use my big oven for anything I want to back. Nowdays they don't much heat up the house or cost much to run, so I won't give up the counter space--and those little ones are hard to clean! Or am I just lazy??? Probably. . .

@Reba055 I also bought Ming Tsai's air fryer and did not like it at all. I gave it to a friend who loves it. Go figure.

However, I do have the Breville Toaster Oven Pro and love it. Had my regular stove taken out and put deep drawers in it's place. Cook on convection burners. Love the set-up.

Since getting my Breville Toaster oven almost two years ago I never use my regular oven unless I am baking something that is too large to fit in my little one.

@Sooner I'm of similar mind. I use my regular oven quite a bit, because I like to use my Le Creuset of various sizes (as well as my Corningware) and keep my counters free from appliance clutter. I have a small toaster oven that I use occasionally to heat small portions of breadsticks or something, but I use the regular oven most!
