Krups Convection Toaster Oven
Robert Krups who founded the Krups Company in
1846 set a high standard for them and believed in perfection. Following in his
footsteps this company has evolved from manufacturing scales to becoming a name
in the international market for small household appliances. Toaster ovens that
came after regular toasters provide the user with almost all the features of a
regular full sized oven but on a smaller scale. This saved one the trouble of
heating the full sized oven for small daily cooking functions. Now there is a
whole new generation of toaster ovens. They no longer have to be controlled
manually. They have digital settings for precise temperature control and auto
shut off options. Convectional heating has also made these units more energy
efficient with shorter cooking times and more even cooking.
In convection cooking an integrated fan circulates hot air around and across the
food evenly thus producing quicker and more uniform results. A good convection
oven has 3 heating elements – top, bottom and rear with a fan connected to the
rear. The oven will pull in outside air and it is heated immediately and
circulated throughout the oven. The airflow also pulls out the moisture from
cookies, cakes and breads and gives you very good baking results and texture.
Krups Digital Convection Toaster Oven FBC4 – With 1600 watts of power the
dimensions on this unit are larger than regular toaster ovens. And in addition
to providing spacious oven space it has an extended rear wall. It is black and
stainless steel and very appealing to look at. The control panel has very
sensitive push buttons with 5 major functions – convection baking, defrost,
toast, bake and broil. The digital function allows you to set the temperature
and cook time precisely and it also has an auto shut off feature so you are
never in danger of overcooking the food. It comes with 6 preset options for a
one touch cooking experience. It has a 6 slice capacity and toasts the bread
evenly. With the superior Quartz Cycling Technology and convection heating you
will be rewarded with very even and quick cooking results.
Baking, toasting, broiling, etc are all standard cooking functions and many
toaster ovens will offer you these features. But the cooking time, evenness of
the cooked food, ease of use and convenience all play an important role in
deciding which model to buy. With their special features – Quartz Cycling
Technology, etc - mentioned in the article above you can see why Krups should
definitely be on your list of preferred manufacturers.
