Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Krups FBC512 6-Slice Convection Digital Toaster Oven, White
Customer Review: Sweet oven, only a few complaints
Summary: 5 Stars
Overall this roomy beast is easily able to make perfect toast, bagels, waffles, cheese sticks, chicken fried steaks, pretzels, ... once you know (and remember) the 'magic' number to set on the toaster. For example, once you've discovered the perfect browning number for your toast, there is no method for the toaster to remember this. Ya have to arrow around the default each time you make toast. A common question in the house becomes, "What number should I set the toaster to?"
The convection baking is quiet and faster than the conventional baking.
Baking times and temps are both reduced when using the convection setting. Convection must be chosen, it is not a default.
Two things I found annoying about this oven:
1) The cooking done beeper repeats (5 times and is loud) making it easy to wake up sleeping family members. There is no option to disable or configure the number of beeps or volume.
2) The bake time (convection or conduction) defaults to 30 mins. I dislike this choice very much. I rarely cook anything beyond 15 mins. I find myself pressing the down arrow 20-25 times prior to every baking use. Holding the down arrow to auto-decrement is so slooooooow. The 30 min value was a poor choice on Krups as a default. I would recommend 10 min or make this configurable.
Description of Krups FBC512 6-Slice Convection Digital Toaster Oven, White
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. Convection heat, important for longer baking times, circulates heated air around the food for the best result in the fastest time. The defrost function uses the convection fan only and gently and evenly defrosts food without producing hot spots. This 6-slice toaster oven with 6 preset cooking functions- Pastry, Bagels, Brownies, Cookies, Thick Pizza, Thin Pizza 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.Toasters
