Very, Very Nice!

I am in my mid 60's and have never owned a compact or toaster oven. I'm now wondering what took me so long! Granted, this is not the small, under-the-cabinet mounted toaster oven of years ago, but a "just-the-right-size" countertop oven.This was not my first choice in compact oven. I originally bought a more affordable brand because I wanted one with a rotisserie and I noticed that Breville does not manufacture one that can be used on North American voltage. Needless to say, that "cheaper" brand's rotisserie failed during the first use, meaning I had to rethink about a compact oven.
In spite of the much higher price tag, I chose this over the Smart Oven Pro for it's additional features, but primarily because of the added interior space. It holds food items I never expected to fit in it, including a 10-lb. ham. Most of my current baking & roasting utensils fit just right and overall much better constructed than the bargain brand and worth the additional expense.
What a pleasure to be able to have some items mostly or fully cooked in the time it takes just for my full-sized oven to preheat! It turns out I don't miss not having the rotisserie feature after all.

I would like a cookbook to tell me specifically how to make various items in my new oven. Any suggestions how I could get one?

Please tell me why toast is only getting brown on top. I am using toast 6 and rack in correct position. Otherwise love my oven.

Confused
on June 21, 2017

I love everything about the Smart Oven Air however I am baffled about one thing...When I set the timer and it goes off when the time is up and I check my food but I feel I need to cook it a little bit longer so I close the door and press start and the preheating stars all over again and preheats as long as the original preheating time....I only had the door open for less than a minute so it doesn't seem the oven woukd cool off to the extent that it needs to preheat that long again! Is that a design flaw?

It can do (practically) anything!

When the Smart Oven Air came out, I asked myself, "Why buy a new oven when my Smart Oven Pro works perfectly well?"
But when I read that the Smart Oven Air can air-fry, I had my excuse to buy it. (We gave the Smart Oven Pro to our grateful oldest daughter.)
Yes, the Smart Oven can air-fry, but what I didn't know is that it can dehydrate, too. In fact, right now it's making a batch of dried jerky treats for our dogs. (Recipe on request.) Although our main cooking device is our microwave, we use at least twice a week (primarily on the weekend when my husband and I have more time to cook). We've used it for everything: pizza, cookies, cakes, chicken wings, frozen snacks, and jerky (as mentioned). We've had it only for about a month, so I can assure you we will use it for many, many more snacks and meals in the months and years to come. Good job, Breville. Another outstanding appliance!
