Krups FBC4-13 6-Slice Convection Digital Toaster Oven with Preset Cooking Functions Review

I bought this Krups FBC4-13 to replace an older unit that had not been maintained. This model is even better, and is the best toaster oven on the market. The three top and three bottom quartz heating elements are far superior to any rod type elements used in other brand units. They heat more quickly, and get hotter than the rod type. The top and bottom units cycle so that the unit never goes over 1600 watts, but toasts, broils and heats much faster that rod type units. The convection setting is great, and the programmed settings are just a bonus.

Krups FBC4-13 6-Slice Convection Digital Toaster Oven with Preset Cooking Functions Overview

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.
