20 Best Toaster Strudel Flavor (2022 Updated)

The Ninja Foodi flip toaster is by far one of the best kitchen gadgets I have ever owned. It’s unique flip capability makes this one of the more interesting products on my counter top that I am constantly getting compliments on.

When the toaster is sitting up, it is in the toast function which has a very wide mouth to easily fit a bagel or artisan bread. When it is sitting in a flat position, it is in the bake function. My kids constantly eat chicken nuggets and warming up a conventional oven takes forever.

The ninja foodi flip toaster requires no pre-heating. Getting a quick food or snack on the table for the kids takes no time! I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a unique but very functional kitchen gadget!.

I asked for this as a present from my parents for my birthday, and they sent it to me from Walmart. It arrived the next day, on my doorstep (quick!) and I immediately made toast. I know, exciting stuff for a gal in her late thirties- but I tell you what, this toaster makes perfect toast every time.

I mean it gets it the perfect color right to the edge and evenly, without those weird grill lines from the spring mechanism from the $6 plastic toaster I had been using. Also this sucker flips down to be a toaster oven, which I have utilized for garlic bread and melting cheese on a flatbread quite well.

So far, this has been a great present, and I highly recommend this upgrade to your toaster.

received my Ninja® ST100 Foodi™ 2-in-1 Flip Toaster and love it!!! the flip toaster that bakes and broils. Flip up for toaster mode and flip down to unlock toaster oven mode. Versatile Functions: Choose from the Toast, Bagel, Defrost, Bake, Broil, or Reheat function.

it makes the best toast. perfectly cooked! and then i can flip it over and make garlic bread. makes great pizza too! so easy to use , you can make a whole meal in it!! easy clean up too!! love this product.

i would definitely recommend it.

I just received (May 8/22) the Ninja 2-in-1 Flip Toaster and I tested out all of the features. It is an excellent toaster & oven that equals or exceeds expectations. For example: (1) It toasts only the cut side of a bagel rather than all 4 sides.

(If you want to toast all 4 sides of a bagel, you simply select “toast” instead of “bagel”. ) (2) Its toasting slot is long and deep enough that you could easily fit in an oversized piece of bread. (3) The toasting is even and does not leave any under-done or over-done strips.

(4) It appears that it would be easy and simple to clean the interior with a damp cloth and then to dry it off. The only major negative aspect is that the sides are not insulated (or are very poorly insulated).

This was a real surprise: (a) because it was reasonable to expect that a high-quality toaster such as this will have insulated sides (i. e. , what are called “cool touch” sides), such as T-fal and Cuisinart have, and (b) because it is otherwise clear that Ninja put a lot of thought into this product so that it would function very well, but simply.

I shall be returning this unit, but if Ninja ever does produce a revised Flip Toaster with insulated / “cool touch” sides, I shall definitely buy it.

I absolutely love this product design and how easy it is to transition, it works perfectly too, with tons of different things you can do with it! Whether you are making a plain peice of toast , or making little mini pizzas, this flip toaster does it all! This is an amazing toaster and the different features it has are nice too.

Its way more than just a toaster, or just a toaster oven! It’s a little bigger than a typical toaster, length wise, but smaller than any other toaster oven I have had in the past. It fits nicely on my counter and other appliances, and doesn’t take up a lot of space at all.

It doesn’t come with a ton of extra attachments or peices, just the pan for the toaster oven, so it’s easy to store as well. I am so glad I decided to try this flip toaster. It’s very unique but simple to use and great for any age.

This would be a useful appliance to have whether you are single and live alone, or you have a whole family to feed. Its also something that would make the perfect gift for any age, whether you have a kid in college or living on their own just starting out- or your parent or grandparent who have been cooking for years- this is a great product! I would absolutely recommend it! Ninja does not disappoint!.

If your tired of your bagels being to large to fit in your toaster, you really need to get the Ninja ST101 Foodi 2-in-1 Flip Toaster, 2-Slice Capacity, Compact Toaster Oven. It has a wider slot then a traditional slot toaster, you can fit Artisan breads and bakery-style bagels in it’s 2-slice capacity.

You can choose from 7 different shade levels of darkness for your toast or bagel, and get more even toasting for evenness front-to-back. When your done toasting, just flip the toaster and use it to bake or broil in oven mode that heats up to400°F with no preheating required , you can quickly cook any of your favorite snacks.

Best of all it cooks faster the a traditional oven. This unit has toast, bagel, defrost, bake, broil, and reheat functions,and fits up to 16 chicken nuggets, and you can even bake appetizers quickly to perfection.

The Foodi 2-in-1 Flip Toaster is Stainless Steel, 1500 Watts, free standing, measuring 8. 42 Inches (H) x 6. 7 Inches (W) x 16. 54 Inches (D), features a crumb tray, digital control and display. Crumb tray and baking pan are included.

It also has a 1 Year Limited Warranty. I highly recommend the Foodi 2-in-1 Flip Toaster.

The Enfinigy four slice toaster has beautiful aesthetics. It’s modern/high tech looking without being overly complicated. It has 7 toast darkness settings as well as bagel, defrost, and warmup buttons.

For me, setting 3 makes a perfect, evenly browned piece of toast. I also like the sturdy feel of the levers, and buttons. Overall it makes great toast and looks nice on the counter. There are two negatives from my perspective- one is that it’s not regular stainless steel.

The body of the toaster is metal, but it’s painted a matte silver color. I’ve attached a picture next to my stainless steel kettle. Because of that it doesn’t match other stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, and I do think it cheapens the appearance a bit.

What I dislike even more is that the top of the toaster is light gray plastic! That wasn’t obvious in the online photos and once again, cheapens the appearance. I can’t think of any reason to design a toaster with a plastic top, other than it being less expensive, so that bothers me somewhat.

However, since it’s main function is not to look at, but rather to toast bread, which it does exceedingly well, I can live with it. Overall I’d definitely recommend it.

I’ve been buying and eating your toasted strudel for decades and loved them and now my kids love them. Lately not only have I notice but my kids notice your giving less and less icing to put on top. It went down like a year ago and now I just bought a few boxes which I go through at least 3 boxes a week and the icing doesn’t even cover half of the strudel.

The price has gone up and the amount off icing has gone down. It’s one thing to raise the price I don’t mind that but when you do that and give us less off the best part that’s where I draw the line.

It seems more and more company’s are doing this and I have stopped buying products because off it and now I’m going to have to add the toasted strudel to it. When your kids can even notice stuff like this that’s a problem.

When you start putting the icing back to the way it was I’ll start buying it again but until then I’m don’t like getting taken advantage off by companies that do this. I buy at least three of 4 boxes a week and when they go on sale I usually buy 10 boxes so maybe if more people stand up to companies that are taking advantage of the consumer then maybe things will change but until then I’m done.

Like I said I don’t mind if you raise the price a little but when you charge more and give less that’s taking advantage off the consumer and like everyone else we are sick of the greed.

I suspect that Pillsbury originally marketed these to appeal to school age kids, but they made these so delicious and I’m not embarrassed to say how much I love them! First of all, I was looking for a new snack—something different from the usual cookies and snack cakes.

I wasn’t really on the hunt for something that requires preparation on my part, but I’ve had other flavors of Toaster Strudel in the past and as I recall, I enjoyed them quite a bit. I’m a creature of habit and I don’t like change so I tend to stick with what I’m familiar with.

I ate them all in three days. They actually have fewer calories than a typical snack cake so I didn’t feel guilty about this at all, although I did learn a valuable lesson: next time buy two boxes. I absolutely recommend these to anyone who is looking outside the box for a tasty breakfast or (like me) a yummy snack.

But just be aware that if you have these in your freezer while I’m at your house, I will find them. And I will fight you for them.

I buy toaster strudels once and awhile, maybe a handful of times per year as a treat. They are quite a treat! I only stopped by this morning to check on the calories for MFP tracking. What I found is a treasure trove of complainers.

My favourite complaint is “there isn’t as much icing as there used to be”. Probably a good thing for you my friend. I did not notice a size difference from when I was a kid, but I also would not eat these on the regular, and probably wouldn’t notice.

Overall a tasty treat, not expecting any nutritious benefits but if I’m going to run or bike I don’t sweat the extra CALS.

Rubbish product. It’s really only a 4 slice if you have little pieces of bread. It’s not all that deep either, so don’t expect to be able to toast “cafe style” thick bread. You will need to cut it in half.

Burns the crust to charcoal (the smoke alarm goes off) but the rest of the bread stays white and completely & utterly dried out. This is on setting #2. Settings go up to #7 – can’t imagine the carnage that would produce.

If you just use ONE side of the toaster, it gives a slightly more even toasting without so much charcoal. But, if you pop another piece in, right after having “toasted” your first lot, the toaster ramps up the heat even more and you end up with burnt bread AND crust – which, as other reviewers have mentioned, presents to you a marvellous Vesuvius inspired flourish and the toast ends up on the floor.

(Dogs love it) It is hilarious that I have paid SO much money for an absolute piece of rubbish.

Superb Toaster – Great Product with an very high Quality & stylish finish and high production manufacturing processes. White finish is to a true Gloss-White standard. Particularly the Clear-Gloss coated finish, the same standards you would expect form a Car’s Bodywork! The Toaster’s temperature selector is a joy to use, light touch with clear selection settings and nice to the touch.

Toasting has consistent results and are also very good, with a user-friendly toggle selector. I find the Browning of the toast is even & only requires the smaller value setting. This is most likely to reduce power consumption and save on electricity.

It’s a Lovely accessory to the Kitchen & has real presence! – Highly Recommended.

I gave an extra star because it is BEAUTIFUL. Functionality 1 star. Unfortunately I read the reviews AFTER purchasing. Burns one side, other side nothing. It’s crazy! It’s all true. I was hoping I’d be the lucky one and the toaster would work.

If you look inside while it’s toasting you’ll see why. It’s crazy! Not returning because it’s beautiful and it’s SMEG. Ugly cord but if you unplug it and tuck it when not in use that solves that problem.

Very disappointed considering cost yes, but the burst of dopamine I get from simply staring at it resolves any and all pain. HAPPY TOASTING!.

Strawberry poptarts are my favorite, and these are just a cheaper version! You can tell they aren’t Poptart brand but to me they are very comparable and less money.

Pretty much taste like pop tarts except these are more on the affordable side. They’re cheap and can be found in your local 99 cent store or dollar tree. There aren’t a ton of flavors but they are always trying new things to create more flavors.

They’re not bad but they definitely don’t have that authentic pop tart taste.

These are definitely not the same quality as Pop Tarts. There is less frosting and the rest is very crumbly. It also seems like it has less filling too! Would not purchase again – even with the cheaper price.

These are great for when you need a snack. I recommend toasting them, it brings out the flavor. I put them in the freezer for storage, if the expiration date is approaching. Great buy for the price.

The pop tarts get 5 stars. The seller TheMarket gets 0 stars. Impossible to return anything. Wont budge. They dont care. Buy pop tarts but buy them somewhere else.

Nothing out of the ordinary. The package came on time and the contents were good. The price is also great for the amount. Great purchase.

These are delicious and what I like to call “clean” which for me means that they are not laden with health robbing pesticides and/or the ever insidious mono and diglicerides/ monoglycerides/esthers of monowhatevermacallitz … the good ole USDA approved hidden transfat allowed to be passed off as an emulsifier (without labeling as transfat because hey, lobbyists have deep pockets and everyone in USA Inc.

is for sale!) that’s in nearly everything on the shelves … eye roll. This obviously does not mean that they are not loaded with carbs and sugars, they are still toaster pastries. I do wish they were a tad less sweet but not really complaining! So yeah, not a health food, but it sure hits the family’s sweet spot deliciously with a whole lot less worries about what’s inside!.

I used to get these at the grocery store, but for some reason I can’t find them anywhere. I was so excited to be able to purchase them online, as they are my favorite toaster pastry. When I got my box, and opened one up, I noticed that the frosting was barely there.

Some parts weren’t coated. They were also very dry. I feel like the ingredients changed or maybe the attention to detail is lacking, because they didn’t taste the same. Now I’m reluctant to buy another box because ALL of the pastries were like that.

Not just one single box. :(.

I really love the smell of these especially while they are in the toaster, made my kitchen smell good. They have brown sugar sprinkle on top probably why they smell and taste good. For taste I give a thumbs up, they have a nice flavor but not as much fruit inside like other pastries.

As for the pastry itself I was a bit disappointed because it was a bit hard and felt like a graham cracker not as soft as others I have tried before. As for price in my local area it is average with others so no complaints there.

But on inside taste alone you may want to give it a try.

We usually don’t buy poptarts but this was offered on Ibotta for free. Walmart doesn’t carry many flavors of the small boxed Kelloggs poptarts so we chose cinnamon. It has a good flavor and we actually like them warmed up with vanilla ice cream.

We did notice Kelloggs has less frosting coverage. It seems very precisely centered and that’s great but we like the almost edge to edge on the ones we normally buy. I do think the frosting on Kelloggs is a bit creamier because others are drier and flakes like a hard royal icing.

With tastes being the same, not sure poptarts gives us enough reason to spend the extra money. If there were new unique flavors we could only get with poptarts or maybe some healthier option with poptarts (like whole grain pastry and no high fructose corn syrup, non gmo, etc) then kelloggs would pull ahead.

I do like the “free breakfast” incentive on the box as a nice bonus, though. You can’t go wrong buying poptarts and they are a fine brand.

I tend to purchase the boxes of eight, which comes in four individually wrapped packets (2 pop tarts in each). I normally stock up once a month when they go down to half price at Fred Meyers. Personally I’m not a fan of these but both my boys adore them (ones 6 and the others 2 years old).

The fact they are already baked means they can be enjoyed when your out and about as a snack straight out of the packet. However my boys prefer them warmed in the toaster. But when heated in the toaster it needs to be done on the lowest toaster setting, otherwise it will overheat causing the chocolate filling to get extremely hot and even then l let cool for minute.

Apparently you can enjoy them frozen but it’s not something we have tried. We’ve tried their other flavours but this is their hands down favourite 😋. In the words of my six year old “these are amazeballs!” which l translate to very good.

About 30 years ago these frosted cherry pop-tarts were amazing! There was frosting from edge to edge. Currently the picture on the box is completely false advertising! The frosting is not as pictured and sometimes there just a smudge in the middle, and I’m not talking about a clump just a small smear of frosting.

I’m surprised I don’t see more complaints about the product. Maybe people think that’s how it’s supposed to be. Sadly the off brands have frosting edge to edge. Even the filling in the pop-tart brand is lacking.

There’s barely any filling. Like I said 30 years ago they were absolutely AMAZING!!! It’s a shame when companies get too big, they forget how they got started, and take short cuts to keep pushing product out and forget about the quality of the product.

Better than all the other brands on the market. Strong flavor of wild berries with a sugar coating. With the cost and the quality it is perfect for an everyday snack. It was the first time I bought them but I will definitely buy them in other flavors and recommend it to everyone.

These are my favorite toaster pastries for a couple of reasons. The first one is that they have significantly better ingredients than PopTarts. The other is the flavor. These are really, really good, but they have a lot of sugar and calories so a serving is just one.

I really like these Nature’s Path Organic Frosted Cherry Pomegran Toaster Pastries, 11 oz (Pack of 6) they are like an organic version of Pop Tarts with a more natural fruit taste. However I do wish they went heavier on the frosting/ icing.

I could say that about any leading brand of toaster pastry though. I will continue to purchase these!.

We’ve always gotten toaster strudels in our house for years. They’re a tasty indulgence for a weekend breakfast. I’ve always thought they had a bit of an artificial flavor, but I didn’t mind because they were still delicious.

We always either get strawberry or the strawberry/cream cheese combo. Last week, I got a box of strawberry and it is not good. I’m so disappointed. I hope it’s a fluke and the next box will be back to the original standards.

These taste even more artificial, and so much so that it isn’t very good. They’re not flaky like usual, but tougher and chewy (and not in a good way). I didn’t even finish the pastry.

I had higher hopes for this product. Don’t get me wrong, I love that they are vegan because regular poptarts have gelatin in them which I don’t eat. But these were pretty flavorless. The ratio of strawberry jam to the pastry itself is really off so I feel like I’m eating hard bread.

The pack I bought was $5 I think, and you only get 3 single toaster pastries so I really feel like these are a poor value for the money. :(.

Bobo’s Toaster Pastries are delicious and easy-to-make treats. The Bobo’s come packaged in a cardboard sleeve inside of which the pastry is wrapped in plastic. Once removed from the packaging you can heat them up in the toaster or microwave.

I used my toaster on the lowest heat setting (as recommended). The pastry came out warm and delicious. The outer crust is dense but not dry, and has a nice bite to it. It reminds me of granola in both taste and texture.

The strawberry filling is very modestly applied and adds just the right amount of sweet strawberry flavor. The pastries are not greasy or crumbly. All in all. tasty treats.

I have a multi-generational household with a few needing gluten-free diets. But we all gave these toaster pastries a try with overall good comments. The pastries are aromatic, smelling fresh baked even before removing from the plastic wrap.

While the suggested microwave time is 3 seconds, that is inefficient time to heat these up – 15 seconds is optimum. – A 55+ male said, “they were more like a granola bar than a pastry” – First grader said, “It could use more jam.

I could barely taste the jam. ” – Everyone thought them to be tasty and a good snack – They were good even if not heated – Bars are packaged to be a convenient snack to send in a school lunchbox It’s difficult to find decent tasting gluten-free prepackaged foods so this was a welcome addition to our pantry.

Awesome,..best energy flapjacks on the martket…all 4 flavours are great…always take one on my longer rides..

These are much more palatable than most energy bars. Highly recommended.

Love these bars, very tasty, good size for Jersey pocket on bike, easy to open and don’t fall apart

TranslateShow in original languageJ’ai choisi ce grille pain pour son design, compact et joli. Il est simple d’utilisation, se nettoie bien avec un petit réceptacle de miettes qui se retire facilement.

Je lui trouve 2 bémols : le fil d’alimentation est assez court, ce qui fait que j’ai dû le changer de place par rapport à l’emplacement initial. Je trouve également qu’il chauffe assez lentement (en tout cas par rapport à celui que j’avais avant).

Il faut quelques tartines grillées avant qu’il soit bien lancé. J’espère qu’il tiendra dans la durée !.

TranslateShow in original languageConvient tout à fait à mes besoins. Cependant on ne peut pas dire que les explications pour son utilisation soient évidentes, il n’y en a pas. 3 fonctions: “arrêt, réchauffement et décongélation”.

Les plus futés comprendront aisément que la fonction grille-pain est un choix par défaut et qu’il ne faut utiliser aucune touche. Par contre les avertissements ne sont pas chiches, en 3 pages et 27 langues.

I will start by stating something one doesn’t often, if ever, say: This toaster oven is stunning. The Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven with Air Fry, accented with its brushed copper knobs and handle, is simply STUNNING to look at.

I have the stainless steel version and it looks gorgeous on my counter. This toaster oven measures 18. 6″Wx17″Dx14″H, so it is large, but it fits under my cabinets with plenty of clearance. With that large size comes large capacity! You can cook an entire meal for your family at once.

It comes with the necessary accessories to help you including: the obligatory oven rack, wire mesh air-fry/dehydrate basket, non-stick pizza pan, non-stick baking pan and a removable crumb tray. It has 6 heating elements – 4 on the top and 2 on the bottom.

They are covered by a cage sort of thing that will protect them from breakage which I think is great, having broken one on another oven. This is a smart oven, so there is an app that uses WiFi to connect your home network to the oven.

I’ve read that you are able to connect the oven through Google Home and Echo. Unfortunately, after several attempts, I just could not make a connection. I don’t think this will matter to me at all, because I like the old fashioned way of setting and powering off with a knob.

This does what the typical toaster oven can do and so much more – with 14 cooking modes! In addition to the usual, this also has air fry for that wonderfully delightful CRUNCH, cookies, slow cook, proof for your dough, dehydrate which I don’t think about until I want it, reheat, keep warm and crisp finish.

Crisp finish is an awesome addition because it adds that beautiful brown and crispy texture that makes food look and taste yummy! Within each of those modes, you can select various settings – more or less time, higher or lower temperatures (80 – 450 degrees).

The LCD display is large and bright. The toast mode worked great with an even browning. The “shade” setting needed to be fiddled with until I found the darkness I preferred, With previous ovens, I had uneven cooking/browning, even having to turn the food part way through.

But with this oven, everything I have prepared is EVENLY COOKED – no dead spots! Bagels came out fantastic. My chicken tenders – on air fry – came out CRISPY and hot. Definite plus with this oven, the fan is on TOP of the unit which makes the disbursement of air even and facing down.

That is a good, good thing for me. With a fan in the back, the fan will blow over the food from back to front cooking unevenly and blowing food particles to the front over door. And I made homemade pizza that was so good! It is important to me that pizza crust is crispy and the cheese is melted without burning.

For the first time: an absolutely perfect cooked pizza! My only complaint, and it is minor, the oven rack has the “wires” facing side to side. I prefer front to back to make it easier to slide toast, bagels, etc.

in/out of the oven. Does this really matter? Not really, it’s just me being lazy. Overall, this is an outstanding toaster oven – better than anything I have ever used and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven with Air Fry.

Kitchen items that are marketed as single-function, I usually find ways of using them to multi-task. But then you run into the true “zebras” out there, like the Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven with Air Fry that are multi-function products that are NOT just all gimmicky marketing.

You remember those items from back in the day, which would have infomercials running every Saturday morning with a crowd yelling nonsensical catch phrases over and over and over. The Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven with Air Fry again, is NOT one of those.

Let’s dive in. The only thing that sort of freaked me out during the setup process was all the “prior to first use” cleaning instructions. It wasn’t the number of, but the escalating nature. First, they want you to wipe it off with a cloth, then a damp cloth inside, then set it to 450 for a heating cycle.

But “Don’t worry, the fumes which are emitted will not harm the product”. Um. When I see the word “Fumes” My first concern is not about the product (unless I’m the product?). **** BUT it turns out that must have been put in the manual for legal reasons, because there were minimal odors during the pre-use cleaning.

None of which I would call “fumes” by any means”. **** Before I go into the function, the form of the Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven is pure luxury. Who doesn’t love the classic, clean looks of stainless steel? Out of all the different variations, I get the feeling stainless steel will be the best seller.

From the rounded corners, to the easy to see screen – everything about the Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven screams “This is classy!!”. And it is built to last, it is SOLID. This is not a product that feels like it is going to wear out any time soon.

What does the Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven do that makes it stand out ahead of all the others? Get ready for it. This multi-function bad boy does all the following: Air-Fry Bake Broil Crisp-Finish Dehydrate Keep-Warm Proof Reheat Roast Slow-Cook Toast Along with the specialized functions: Bagel Cookies Pizza I have tried out all the functions except for the bagel and cookie functions (for some reason I can’t bring myself to do so, personal reasons).

And the Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven does them ALL bang-on accurate! Now, I may be breaking a rule, but this truly is a “SET IT AND FORGET IT!” (See above!) cooking device! Others have mentioned that they have had to tweak cooking times a minute here or there.

That will be true with any product. Science and everything. But, from air fried chicken, to french fries (fried mushrooms, and fried mozz sticks) oh my! I never was one who thought he’d jump on to the “Air Fry” bus (though some other products got me to for a short while) – the Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven has made me a believer.

All the items I mentioned a second ago, plus a bunch more which I won’t bore you with Air Fry in the Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven so perfectly, you honestly cannot tell the difference! You will be gaining an Elite, Luxury cooking device on your counter with the Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven.

It is well worth the investment (I would expect the MSRP to be more, for everything this baby does). Out of all the products I have reviewed, this is one that very quickly earns a five-star rating from me!.

We have had some toaster ovens from some very nice name brands. However, this Café Couture Smart Toaster Oven with Air Fry takes things to a much higher level. Rightfully so, one would expect a lot from a small appliance that costs over $400.

Personally, we don’t mind spending money on items that are high quality and will provide many years of use for us. Based on what we have seen so far, we don’t think we will be disappointed. If I had one thing that would be nice to see would be a warranty beyond the typical one year.

Aside from all the features, one of the biggest benefits is simply the sheer size of this toaster oven. It provides so much flexibility since it has the space for 12” pizzas, 9 x 13 cake pans and 2 qt casserole dishes.

If you live somewhere hot like we do it is a wonderful thing to be able to cook family size dishes in the Summer without heating your whole kitchen up from the use of a full sized oven. Take note that GE recommends wiping down the inside of the toaster oven and operating it on Air Fry mode for 20 minutes at 400 degrees prior to one’s first use.

Additionally, they recommend it be placed on a heat resistant surface with 4 inches of clearance. Given that this is taller than the average, budget toaster oven one really has to be mindful of the clearance between your counter and upper cabinets to ensure this will work for you.

You will probably be like us since we now want to go find more recipes to try all the functions this toaster oven has available. One can roast, toast, bagel, pizza cookies, proof, dehydrate, slow cook, reheat, air fry, CrispFinish, bake and broil.

We’ve yet to try all of these, but so far everything we have tried has turned out great. Toast and bagel functions worked evenly and to desired level. Pizza was great and the air fry function put out such a better result than other cooking methods.

Something as simple as chicken tenders just cooked so much better on air fry mode. And of course, we had to try french fries that turned out equally well. I would be interested to try out a crème brulee recipe to see if CrispFinish adds that nice carmelized top as the finishing touch.

If results are the best indicator I’d say that GE has put plenty of thought into the design of the Café Couture toaster oven. The six quartz heating elements preheat quickly and provide a very nice cooking experience.

We experienced no issues with uneven cooking or disappointing results. There is a lot of versatility with this toaster oven between the functions it offers and the range of temperature from 80 degrees to 450 degrees.

Included are the heavy duty oven rack, 12” enamel, non-stick pizza pan, enamel, non-stick coated baking pan, wire mesh air fry/dehydrate basket and removable crumb tray. Lastly, I’d just comment on how much I enjoy the looks of this product line.

The stainless steel surfaces provide a very high end look and I love the copper accents. The controls are well laid out, easy to read and very intuitive to use. The large window allows one to easily keep an eye on food as it cooks.

It’s an added bonus for those that want remote control to be able to connect via wifi and use voice controls and the SmartHQ app to start and program dishes and additionally download updates and new features.

For us, we prefer to stick with the hands on controls, but others may find the flexibility nice.
