If you have done any research on toaster ovens, then you have probably seen or heard someone speaking about a Breville toaster oven. Breville toaster ovens, or 'Smart Ovens' as the company calls them, can be seen or heard all over the Internet - in cooking chat rooms, product review sites, in the news, and elsewhere. They are in fact one of the most talked about toaster ovens ever. So, what is all the fuss about? Well, they just so happen to be one of the best and most user friendly toaster ovens to ever come out. Below is a quick look at the three models the company offers.
The biggest and the most popular model is the Breville BOV800XL Smart Oven. This unit is used by many as a complete replacement oven due to its large interior capacity and convection baking. It can fit up to six slices of toast or up to a thirteen inch pizza. Some of the main features include nine preset cooking functions: Toast, Bagel, Bake, Roast, Broil, Pizza, Cookies, Reheat, and Warm. All of these functions get high remarks from users who say the Smart Oven's "Element IQ technology" cooks the food wonderfully by putting the heat of the elements where it is needed most. Consumers also say that the oven is very user friendly. Handy features such as automatic slide out racks and front access crumb trays make cooking and cleaning easy.
In the mid-size range is the Compact BOV650XL Smart Oven. This oven is like the larger BOV800XL, but the main difference is that it is smaller and doesn't have convection baking. For anyone that is not familiar with convection baking, basically this feature allows you to cook food faster. Convection baking uses a convection fan, which continuously blows hot air over the food instead of letting the hot air to circulate randomly - like in a traditional oven. Overall, this is a great toaster oven for people who need to save a little counter space and who don't necessarily need convection fan. Because this oven is small, it will heat up and cook food faster than a normal oven anyway.
The smallest of the Breville ovens is the BOV450XL (also known as the Mini Smart Oven). This toaster oven was specifically designed for people that really need to save on counter space. It is compact, but still has all of the smarts as the other ones. There are eight presets to choose from and it can still bake up to an eleven inch pizza.
One really nice thing about all of the smart ovens is that they will remember the toast and cooking settings that you like so that cooking is made easier the next time you use it.
Overall, these toaster ovens are really great and people just love them. No other toaster oven has more reviews than the Breville Smart Oven.
