Breville toaster oven with air fryer
on December 8, 2019
Posted by: Carol
I love my oven but I have a lot of brown liquid under my toaster every time I use my air fryer with anything that isn't vegetables. I tried positioning my pan under the basket and not putting too much chicken, etc. in it. I never use marinade and I dry off my chicken before cooking it. Why does this happen? I hate it. I have to lift up the toaster over each time I use it to clean under and around the toaster oven. Help???
I research all countertop available before buying a Breville smart oven, what sold me is that one can cook a 14-pound turkey, Air-Fry feature, convention and a total of 13 feature. My first was Air-fried 6 pieces of fried chicken in 35 minutes. This is great to have if you do not have a wall oven to help cook your holiday meal when the main dish is cooking in the stove oven.
I use our Brevile everything as long as it fits. If you are a small family it can handle everything you need it do do. We upgraded our old Brevile to the air-fryer, convection model. It makes your life easier by handling a perfect bagel, roast turkey, lasagna, chicken wings or a reheat. Love my Brevile and I would prefer to never be without it so we take it with us when away for a month.
Potentially great unit, needs detailed explanations of functions

I purchased the BOV900 to replace a perfectly working BOV800XL. The 900 has a feature high in demand- Air Fry, It also has a proofing setting I am anxious to try out. I would have given the unit a 5, but the mysteries surrounding exactly what the functions do is a big deal to me. There is absolutely no mention of what frozen does in the manual, On Air Fry, removing frozen (it is on by default) added 5 minutes to the time. That is counter intuitive, being frozen should add to the cooking time I would think. On cookies, pressing frozen added 2 minutes and reduced the temp by 25°f. That was expected. I performed a factory reset before testing this to be sure I had not altered a setting. I also want to know why. for example, cookies is separate from bake. It is not the same process?
Something brought up 2 years ago is Beville does not have a cookbook to give users ideas and suggestions in how to use (or not use) this unit. Still no cookbook. The web page recipes are a joke, not even a drop in a bucket of what SHOULD be there. Shame on Breville for not doing something relatively simply for their customers. The manual is sort of a joke. It give the function and a terse paragraph on where to use the function. It then goes into great details what to expect when you use the function. Pretty much the same steps for each function, with maybe a slight deviance from the other ones, but nothing worth noting. Each one has a step to "close the oven door". For real. The manual was written for someone who has never baked before. The rest of us would like details on what happens internally in the oven so we can adapt recipes for how this oven operates to get the most out of it, without having to experiment.
I loved my Breville smart Oven Pro and used it all the time. But when this new oven arrived with the added features of air fry and dehydrate, I was excited. Got the new one for my birthday 2 weeks ago and love it! This oven is a bit larger and holds a standard 12-piece cupcake pan. It cooks a bit faster than my Breville Pro and has the "super convection" feature.
BEST PURCHASE I HAVE EVER MADE IN KITCHEN APPLIANCES

This oven does everything! and does it very very well! It warms incredibly fast. Baking is a reliable and efficient. Air Fry well It's terrific and I find I use it more and more, saves time and effort and food comes out terrific. I have had one for 10 months and would not live without it. If I could keep ONLY one kitchen appliance/gadget (and I am a collector) this is the one.
