r/BuyItForLife[Request] Countertop air fryer oven with long-term durability & easy cleaning — Breville vs Cuisinart?
3 months ago

Have had our Breville now for a few years now and it has become our main oven. We use it usually twice a day as a main oven and toaster. It does take some care to keep clean but if done once a week it stays in good shape. The glass can get oils on it but cleans easy with some soap and a razor blade. Only issue I have had to date was the door spring breaking which was easy to replace. Other than that it has been problem free.

Brevilie, I had the model this one is based off of for just shy of two decades and it's still going strong

I’ve got the one OP posted, and have had it almost 10 years and it gets used once or twice a day. I use parchment paper in the airfry basket for most things, and it’s been totally fine. The times I dont use parchment paper, I just put a pan with aluminum foil on the grate at its lowest setting.

Same. The thing even fits a frozen pizza. I roasted a duck in it. We do all of our baking and roasting in our now.

r/SourdoughDoes anyone have any recommendations on toaster ovens, air fryers, or countertop ovens for sourdough baking?

I bought my parents a Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro. It has a proof function and it goes up to 480F. It fits a Staub (I think it's 4qt?) with the lid and knob though you have to be careful not to hit the quartz heating elements on the way out. It heats incredibly evenly, the macaron shells I've made in there came out perfectly.

I’ve owned my Breville for years and adore it. I use it more than my regular oven. Since I got it, 3 family members have gotten the same model and loved it just as much as I do. Can’t speak to repairability because I haven’t needed any repairs.

Another vote for Breville. Have one of the smart ovens, and it's been used daily (sometimes multiple times a day) for a little over a year now without issue. It's been flawless. It's so good that my full size oven is rarely used.

Second this. Mine exactly fits a 9x13 pan with handles, which is perfect. However it is not very good at making toast, so don’t replace your toaster. However I have heard mixed reliability; I don’t expect it to last “for life” but barring a lemon, it would definitely last more than a year. Mine is three or four years old, used at least five times a week, and still doing fine.

r/CookingShould I buy a microwave, toaster oven, or air fryer for my tiny kitchen? I can only pick one…..

I gave up on air fryers after consistently getting stinky ones with burning plastic smell that never improved. Finally got the breville toaster with air fryer functionality. It s slower than an air fryer, but a lot more versatile. I use it instead of oven in summer. Also a lot faster to heat up even in winter.
