I am one that loves to cook and thinks I that I need at least 1 of every type of kitchen appliance that is made. I like to make a variety of dishes throughout the month and each of my handy appliances serves their own purposes when preparing those meals. It wasn’t until recently that I got my first toaster oven.
I really wish I would have had a toaster oven like 20 years ago!
When cooking meals I probably use the stove and oven most often but our microwave gets plenty of use. I never knew just how handy a toaster oven can be. Instead of heating up the house when I want to make some breadsticks to go with our spaghetti I can use our new toaster oven to bake them instead.
The Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster oven will definitely come in handy on the summer days when I don’t want to use the oven. I like that it can cook foods quick! I can stick in some frozen breadsticks, turn on the toaster oven, set the temperature and in under 10 minutes my bread sticks here hot and ready to eat.
My kids are really liking this new toaster oven too! They use the microwave for making snacks after school but for some foods using a microwave makes the food not appealing. What makes this toaster oven different is that it comes equipped with double infrared heating. No preheating is necessary either like you have to do with a regular oven so making snacks in the toaster oven can be faster.
The infrared heating helps to cook the outside of the food efficiently so it makes snacks like mozzarella sticks perfect!
My kids are LOVING mom’s new toaster oven and I have been showing my 11 year old how to use it since she likes to make her own snacks when she gets home from school. The mozzarella sticks have been a big hit and we plan on trying to make pizza in my toaster oven next!
With this toaster oven you have 6 preset buttons that will automatically calculate a cooking time and temperature for a variety of foods including toast bread, pizza, frozen foods and quick reheat. You can also choose just to set the temperature and time manually as well.
Like I mentioned before, I wish I would have had one of these sooner. I think that it is handy and might just save me some money on the electric bill when I cut back on using my regular oven.
Right now the Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven is on SALE on Amazon for only $97.99 with FREE Shipping! This would make a perfect gift for those on your shopping list that like to cook and don’t have a toaster oven.
