Breville – Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro Convection Toaster/Pizza Oven – Stainless Steel

I see the black friday deal is $80 off!! Don’t hesitate–buy it!! Got ours full price while we wait for an undefinite amount of time to have our propane tank switched to run our gas range (grr). 13×9 pan fits as long as it does not have extended handles…the pampered chef stonware bar pans will fit if you set them in just right, too. Love the air fryer, just wish it came with more baskets. I ordered extras from william sonoma, and they have been on backorder for over a month…wish Best Buy carried them! Look around…I saw others have them. So easy to use. Love how it preheats and starts the time once it is preheated. Since it comes up to temp so fast, that has not affected the cook time or burned the bottom of anything. Love how it shuts off when done. The big red power button glowing while cooking is great, especially since it turns off after set time is done. Easy to clean. I thought presets would be annoying since we know how to cook, but they are fully adjustable and nice to get you started right around where you need it. The little graphics are fun to see for toast, slow cook, frozen food cooking, etc. It looks great and is pretty much the same size as a microwave while being way more versatile than a microwave! The top does get hot, so don’t touch or put your even mitts on it. We have found that to be a perk rather than flaw since we can use top as a warmer for breads, tortillas, and butter (just flip a pan over the top of them to hold the heat in). If you are new to ovens this size, be careful when you put food in while hot without mitts—the space to the top of the oven is very close and easy to burn yourself if you use your big oven ingrained habits. A tray puller or tongs is a handy tool to use with this since mitts are pretty cumbersome in the small space, too. Wish the included roasting pan was bigger/higher capacity…it wastes space with the big lip edge it has…might be good to do a roast on the included rack. My stoneware pans and lasagna pan fit, and that is more important to us! OH! Bread dough proofing setting is awesome–the bowl can be in there with plastic wrap on it at 85 degrees. Will continue to use this regularly even once our big range is working again. (Will be able to keep proofing dough while preheating/using the oven). LOVE it and want a Breville espresso maker now.

I love my new oven. I have had it for about 3 weeks now and am blown away at how well it works. I have made Beef Wellington, Bread, Chicken Skewers, Pizza, and Flan Caramel. I have even dehydrated apples and some herbs. If I had any complaint it would be that it steams at the top. I called them (Breville) just to make sure this was normal. They said it was and just to make sure I use it in a more open space. I have a special rolling cart it sits on that isn’t near any cabinets.
