Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Krups FBC1 6-Slice Digital Toaster Oven, Black
Customer Review: Outstanding, with only little room for improvement
Summary: 5 Stars
My fiancee laughs because I can't make a trip to the fridge without research. So graduating from a low-end B&D, I first came up with a short list of four toasterovens. After some more research and print-outs (waiters at our table quipping "are we in the market for a toaster oven?") we finally picked the FBC1, despite some hesitation on my fiancee's part if we really needed a kitchen device competing in size with our Isomac espresso maker (...well, close).
Resumee after one month's use:
+ oven heat-up time is neglegible, it's that fast
+ if you've worked in a restaurant kitchen, you've worked with a salamander. The Krups is probably as close as a consumer version gets, including quartz lamps and two broil settings. This thing cranks out serious heat when you need it
+ thermostat measures the temps inside the oven
+ swallows a 9x9 pyrex pan - I was baffled
+ good results as well in toaster-function
+ display illumination goes off after use, saving power (LCD itself stays on)
- measure your counter before you buy; it's not exactly petite (though not a hog either)
- an optional under-the-counter mount would be great
- controls are ok for digital, but take a few times to get used to. My pref (and the only improvement I'd suggest) would be digital settings controlled by turn-knobs.
Would we buy the FBC1 again if it took off into outer space? In a heartbeat, without any further research.
Description of Krups FBC1 6-Slice Digital Toaster Oven, Black
Krups high-speed quartz heating system takes masterful control of heat in the chamber. Each set of quartz heating element, both top and bottom, is alternately powered at the full 1600 watts to maximize the effect of radiant heat. The heat distribution is aided by a special reflective crumb tray that directs this important form of heat to all corners for excellent results. This 6-slice toaster oven has temperature controls in 25 degree increments from 150-450 degrees, a digital timer from 1 minute to 90 minutes and an auto shut off after elapsed time. For toasting, it has 9 levels or browning with a countdown timer. Illuminated LCD control panel with easy to use controls and high quality soft touch buttons, it has a digital clock that displays when the cooking functions are not in use. The non-stick interior surface is durable and easy to clean. This unit includes a non-stick bake pan, broiling tray and thermal resistant tongs for safe removal of hot pans or food and comes with a 1-year warranty.Toaster Ovens
