Black & Decker FC150BR InfraWave Speed-Cooking Countertop Oven, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As I read some of the other reviews of the Infrawave I am pretty shocked. Some people do nothing but dump on this little marvel, but I love the darn thing! I got the Infrawave about nine months or so ago, and I have never once regretted it. This thing works as well (or better) than my conventional oven for practically anything in a single serving size, which is nice for a single guy who likes to cook.
I'll admit I was a little nervous about trusting it do everything it has preset, like broiling burgers or chicken, but it really does deliver. I must use this thing at least three or four times a week as a replacement for the microwave or the oven. Probably more. Without preheating I can have good burgers in about ten minutes of turning it on, and that is fine by me. My personal favorite is having grilled hot dogs in eight minutes without actually firing up my gas grill. It isn't replacing my outdoor grill, but it's strong enough to completely cook through a stuffed pork chop without turning it into charcoal first. Another perk: it does not heat up the room at all, unlike my conventional oven.
All of that being said, it is not idiot-proof or perfect, but what is? When you are cooking with it you have to use your common sense--Am I using this thing as an oven or a toaster? If you cover your food in aluminum foil you are TOTALLY CHANGING THE EQUATION! Once you cover the food in something reflective you are more or less turning your back on most effective heating source the oven has, and the cooking time will increase. It still will work, but you can't trust the recommended times the oven wants you to use, you have to start thinking more like conventional oven cooking times.
In one other review someone mentioned that the outside of it gets very hot. It does! That is my only real gripe with this item. I would be really aware of this if I had a little one running around while I was using it. That being said, I have it sitting on a baking stand about 3 inches from the wall and I have felt the wall while it was cooking and was very comfortable that there was no danger of anything spontaneously combusting. As a matter fact I have cotton apron that is touching it most of the time while it is cooking and it's perfectly fine. As a final gripe, they could have given a ceramic or glass dish that was fitted to the inside of it, but with some shopping I found one of my own. (Works much better for baking than the metal tray given.)
So there it is; the Infrawave is a fine cooking tool. It is by no means perfect, but it is a great little oven/broiler/toaster.

Unlike conventional or convection ovens, this state-of-the-art countertop oven uses infrared-light technology to evenly cook the inside and outside of foods simultaneously. Superior browning and crisping capabilities seal in flavor, whether cooking meat, poultry, or fish, and toast comes out perfect every time. The appliance cooks up to 50-percent faster than a conventional oven, with no pre-heating or thawing necessary, making it possible to pull dinner out of the freezer and have it fully cooked and ready to serve in no time. In fact, many dishes can be cooked in 20 minutes or less. There's also no need to worry about what temperature to cook at since the intelligent profiling system cycles the cooking lights according to the type of food being cooked. The oven provides a control panel with an LCD screen and 52 digital pre-settings for one-touch ease of use. For example, select from functions including pizza, quick foods, cookies, toast, reheat, bake/roast, or broil, and the digital display allows for scrolling through a variety of detailed choices. Best of all, the unit�s convert menu lets you enter the temperature and time for a favorite recipe, then automatically converts it to InfraWave time.

Black & Decker 4-Slice Convection Toaster Oven - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had the standard Toaster oven by GE finally went on me.
I asked my daughter to help me find one that was just simple, no flashy extras. Just a timer,heat setting and oven or toast selector can't get much simpliar than that. Very well designed, and has replaced my oven completely. Some people may not like the sound of the ticking of the timer, but personally it's a good reminder it's on. Also you can only set the timer up until an hour and to me that is a good function also cause I don't think you would or should use this to replace and oven for long time cooking.

(More customer reviews)I have had this oven for about 5 months and have used it for everything: from hot dogs, to burgers, steaks, apple pie, frozen foods and even my own recipes. We love the results! so much so that even though we renovated our kitchen and got a new stove with an oven, we use that one to store pots and pans and cook everything in the InfraWave.
We love the convert button and use it for everything. The fact that we only have to enter the type of food, time and temperature that is in the regular recipe (or the packaging instructions) and it "converts" it into its time (usually half the regular time) is super easy to use. We also toast, bake and broil even frozen meats(like burgers, hotdogs and steak) and it all comes out perfectly done: juicy on the inside and grilled and brown on the outside. You might have to play with it a bit to find the spot that you like the most (for example my husband likes meats medium/rare and I like them medium well, so I add a couple of minutes to mine)
This is the best cooking appliance I have and I can only imagine how much I will use it in the Holidays to make green bean casserole or sweet potato casserole while the turkey is in the oven! Get one now if you don't have it! You'll love it!

Black & Decker T4569B 4-Slice Toaster, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love bagels and primarily use a toaster for that one purpose (with some toast thrown in from time to time). This toaster is exactly what I needed as it actually caters to bagels without substituting quality in other applications. Functionally it's pretty flawless. I can get my bagels toasted evenly and at the correct brownness with little effort. It's a nice looking modern toaster, and while it might not have every whiz-bang feature that more expensive models offer, it does what it does humbly and with excellence.
The toaster slot size is 5.375 inches long by 1.5 inches wide.
PROS:
1) Dual trays for bagels or toast with self-adjusting guides for thinner items like sliced bread
2) Cancel button that makes it easy to eject something mid-way through. This is especially handy as you're getting to know the toaster and how to get your desired level of toasting.
3) A bagel button for toasting just the inside of the bagel. There are even markings on the toaster to show you how to insert the bagel.
4) A frozen item button for getting your hot-pockets perfectly cooked.
5) Simple, but pleasing design.
6) Very nice unit for the price.
Cons:
1) Not as many features as some other models.
Summary:
This is a very nice toaster for the price range. It does a few things really well. It might not have everything you could possibly want in a toaster, but for getting a bagel perfectly cooked it's great.

With its sleek, modern design, this four-slice toaster not only looks great in any contemporary kitchen, but it also features extra-wide, self-adjusting slots that can accommodate various items, including bagels, buns, English muffins, and thick slices of homemade bread. Its user-friendly push-button controls include a bagel function for warming the outside and toasting the cut side; a frozen setting for toasting items like frozen waffles, toaster pastries, or toaster hash browns to perfection; and a cancel option to end the session at any time. Choose from six electronic browning-control settings from light to dark by turning the knob. For added convenience, dual control panels make it possible to use only one side or the other, or to toast two separate orders simultaneously--great when trying to get the family out the door in the morning. Other highlights include cool-touch housing, cord-wrap storage, and a removable crumb tray for quick cleanup. The 1400-watt toaster measures approximately 11-1/2 by 10 by 8-3/5 inches.
