The Breville Countertop Toaster Oven has a particular component that makes it stand out from the other toaster ovens on the market. It’s called ‘Element IQ’, and in this article I’ll explain how its innovative technology makes a difference and why so many people are now excited about their Breville Countertop Toaster Oven.
When Breville was researching the market for countertop toaster ovens before creating their own product, they discovered that there were many toaster ovens that could perform a number of tasks. His kitchen department tested countless recipes on several different brands of toaster oven – one was great for baking cakes, another was best for cheese souffles, one was great for baking pizzas, one was great for baking bread … All great for making toast!
However, none of them could do everything, well. So Breville came up with a special system that could be programmed for whatever dish you wanted to cook. The system they created is their innovative Element IQ. They call their countertop toaster oven a ‘smart’ oven, and with the Element IQ it’s certainly smart! It takes all the guesswork out of temperature and time, and makes sure you get perfect meals every time.
With Element IQ you program on your plate (eg pizza, roast, muffins, cookies, bread, casserole, toast) and the oven knows what the temperature should be, how long it should cook and whether or not to use the mode. convection. You also know which heating elements should be used and where: on top of the plate, under the plate, or both above and below.
This can make a big difference between a pizza with a crusty or soggy base, between an evenly raised pie and one with a split in the middle, or between an evenly cooked roast roast and one that is charred on the outside and rare on the inside. The Element IQ system also ensures that the temperature remains constant throughout the cooking time.
There are other smart design features in the Breville Smart Oven, including the smart way the magnets in the door automatically pull out the shelf and the non-stick interior that makes cleaning a piece of cake.
It has an easy-to-read backlit control panel and the timer automatically turns the oven off at the end of the cook cycle. This is an important safety feature, as many other ovens simply tell you that the time is up, but do not turn the oven off.
IQ stands for the Latin phrase “Idem Quod”, which means Intelligence Quotient. The Element IQ certainly adds an intelligence quotient to the operation of the Breville Countertop Toaster Oven. The Smart Oven is smart and adaptable for every type of kitchen, every cooking style, and every level of culinary skill.
