Panasonic NB-G100P-S ( or Krups FBC4-12 )
Panasonic NB-G100P-S ( or Krups FBC4-12 )
Anyone who has the Panasonic toaster oven can cook a meaningful dinner
for few people such as whole fish or a small chiken? I like this
toaster for its infrared feature, but the interior is too small, seem
like they make it just for cooking frozen pizza or a chicken wings, any
steak that is thicker than 3'' seems like it won't fit into it.
The Krups interior is larger but not infrared oven and has some
reliability issues?
I try to use the toaster oven instead of the big wall oven, I wonder it
can do any real cooking with meat or poultry since these items requires
a lot of heat quickly. The wall oven is okay; it wastes a lot of
energy.
Any comment?
thx

Re: Panasonic NB-G100P-S ( or Krups FBC4-12 )
I stopped counting all the "toaster ovens" we've tried over the years.
My experience with them all is that they are OK for making toast,
heating or reheating small pre-cooked items, baking small, flat items
like frozen pizzas, french fries and pastries, and roasting small fresh
items like quartered new potatoes.
They'll do a decent job of baking a large potato or two, if you drive a
heat-conducting spike through the length of the potato first. That's
about it. Anything more ambitious, and you're either going to be
tending the item(s) constantly, or be disappointed, or both.
Having said all that, I'd conclude that the toaster oven is not super-
versatile, but still a very useful appliance to have on the counter,
imo.

okay, I retract the plan to roast with this type of oven, even my 3500
watt wall oven can't really roast satisfied due to lack of intense heat
sear. But I don't really want to use wall oven just to cook a hen,
waste of energy

I do not own one but the Krups oven uses a quartz element and is
probably as good an infrared emitter as the Panasonic. It is simply not
marketed as such. Search for quartz heating element and the description
of all of them will be they are infrared emitters.
From the wiki on microwaves:
"More recently, certain manufacturers have added a high power quartz
halogen bulb to their convection microwave models while marketing them
under names such as "Speedcook", "Advantium" and "Optimawave" to
emphasize their ability to cook food rapidly and with the same browning
results typically expected of a conventional oven. This is achieved
using the high intensity halogen lights at the top of the microwave to
deposit large amounts of infrared radiation to the surface of the food."

It's not exactly a toaster oven, and it takes more counter space, but
Delonghi makes (or made) a counter top oven that'll do everything a
normal oven will do. I picked mine up for $100 (they were
discontinuing the manual model for digital).
It's the only thing I roast chicken with these days thanks to the
built-in rotisserie. It's a convectoin oven too.

Great! The oven uses the broiler element for the rotisserie.
I slather it with butter for a nice crispy brown skin and stuff fesh
herbs and lemon in the cavity. It's as good as any I've done in a
normal oven.
See my reply to your other post for a link to prices for the current
model - around $150.
