replace MW & toaster oven with advantium or speed oven?
Comments (25)Thanks, pillog. The dimensions and storage suggestions are extremely helpful. As for the 27" vs. 30", I'd love to have a 30" but the problem is how to fit one in. I'm working around various obstacles (e.g., a chimney) and fixed features (e.g., unmovable doors and some unmovable walls) that limit what we can do with the space. On the other hand, I hadn't thought about what would happen if the 27" ovens die and replacements can't be found. The current ovens are decades old and still work fine, but I guess that's not likely to repeat itself, given the life expectancy of current appliances. It may be time to look at those plans again and see if there's a way to steal 3 inches......See MoreDoes no one use a toaster oven anymore?
Comments (22)Yes alexr I've looked for that too and found it to be not-yet-invented. Let's join the study group to write up the requirements list, present it to the boss and stay involved as R&D gets a few prototypes out for evaluation. . . : - ) Moving the upper heating element is definitely possible. I've seen it in ovens where they let you pivot it down to clean above it. It must be possible to move it in a plane. What I'd buy in a flash is one with the upper heating element fixed but the box shape itself being shrinkable, by sliding the top half down a couple inches, the top part fitting over the bottom part. Like those adjustable-height chimney covers they sell with range hoods. It would be insulated. I'd like to put a toaster oven in a deep drawer in my new kitchen, plugged into plugmold on the underside of the countertop, inside of the drawer. I dislike seeing it all the time (clutter) and I only use it when I use it, not every morning. In years past I've often used the big oven's broiler element to toast, just like alexr says. With my new wall oven, I might find I like doing that rather than buying a TO. It's my first wall oven; it's 24" wide. Right now I have a borrowed toaster oven as my only oven -- amazing how much cooking I can do in it. I'm getting ready to renovate and my new oven isn't connected yet. I would be completely oven-less if not for this borrowed TO. Anyone else with more Toaster Oven criteria? -david...See MoreToaster Oven vs. Plain Ol' Toaster
Comments (19)Goldgirl - We just replaced our 10 yo basic toaster oven (which did fine but was surely showing it's age) with a new Krups FBC1. Compared to our old TO this thing is amazing. It cooks so accurately. I don't know how else to say that. Our old TO just provided heat. It had a basic heating element. This thing seems to caress the food with heat, intelligently.... The heating elements surround the food and alternate giving the food time to 'catch up' Does that make any sense? The controls are intelligently laid out and work exactly the way I would expect them to. We haven't had it long enough to tell you anything about it's longevity but I would surely miss it if it was no longer here. I had no idea I could do so much with a toaster oven. It cleans up easily (for the occasional mishap). It's big enough for most things I would bake for just the two of us (not big enough for a full size chicken but 'parts' in a stoneware pan work just fine). And, by the way, it does a nice job with toast too... Hope this helps, Ken...See Moretoaster oven question, to those that have/use one
Comments (51)I also use a puller -- especially when using the lower rack. It lives in the cabinet drawer next to the oven -- hidden -- where only I know where it is! Cathy - good to know about the great customer service you received from Breville. I will keep that in mind when mine gets 'sick'. I use it everyday, so I don't expect it to last forever, but it would be nice! I also splurged and purchased an extra pizza pan so I could make 2 pizzas easily - worth every penny for the convenience. I also have the electric wok made by Breville. I love their products! Your pup looks so content! Pretty kitchen....See Morejakvis
