The Smart Oven by Breville

Why use a big oven when the Breville cooks just as well. We bake cakes, potatoes and anything we would in a big oven. It preheats in minutes and saves energy because of its compact and "just right" size.

The Breville Smart Oven replaced my Cuisinart oven that shorted out. I did a lot of research before spending this much on a 'toaster' oven. I've had the unit 1 month and have found the accolades to be true (Cooks Illustrated). Perfect toast by adjusting the # slices and darkness no matter how thick the slice. Bagels are toasted to perfection with a lightly toasted crust and crunchier cut side. Frozen pizza crust cooked evenly with the toppings using convection. Convection roasted chicken with golden crispy skin and juicy meat. Best of all, I didn't have to heat my house up using a large oven. Can't wait to try cookies and casseroles. Great size when cooking for two. Control knobs are super easy and intuitive. I have several other Breville small appliances and the Smart Oven is proving to be just as high of quality. It costs a bit more than most but I'd rather spend more up front than keep replacing shoddy equipment.

I replaced a toaster oven with this Smart Oven. The toaster oven had stopped working, but the dials were always hard to read. I love this new Smart Oven! The dials light up when you turn it on, and it toasts and bakes beautifully. I will use it in the summer instead of heating up the whole house with my kitchen oven. It was easy to use right out of the box without reading the whole manual. It preheats very quickly and does not start timing the food until it is fully preheated.

My most favorite thing about this is the size. I can put a 12 tin cupcake pan inside. Great for making brunch quiches. The dials make it so easy to find the temperature you require and the function you need.. Just an absolutely great product. Of course, I have only used it for 2 weeks. Ask me in a year how I feel, will it still work?

Makes great toast. Better than others that we had over the years. It comes with a round, good pizza pan and I think it will do well there. I like the selections for different items(sets temp. and time) and the separate buttons for convection and frozen.
