Its Appearance
This oven toaster from XTREME can be a good catch for those who would like to have one that is aesthetic in design and affordable. Our unit comes in Blue color variant aside from its Black and Green color options. On its front is its easy-to-open LOW E glass door with its handle. It boasts a sleek matte design which is extremely hassle-free to clean running to its zinc-coated interior plate. Looking for a convenient place to store it on your kitchen is not a big deal as it is 350x267x208mm in size (product itself) and having a net weight of 2.2kg for its unit. It also included its 2 x 0.75mm rubber and copper wired power cord and has an 0.9m exposure including the plug.
Its Features
Though light and compact, we appreciated the dual rack positions which includes the bake tray and its wire rack which you can use to pre-heat/ re-heat, toast, broil, and bake. With its 10 Liters capacity, it is decent in preparing some snack servings. It is also powered by 230V A.C. 60HZ. The 700W on the 2 stainless steel heating element of the XTREME oven toaster is not the most powerful in the market so you might consider this before making a purchase.
This oven has a 230 degree temperature control and a 30 minute timer located on its right side for your heat and cooking time functionalities. There is also a red indicator light that automatically turns off when food is done broiling in addition to the bell sound it produces as you finish cooking. Also, take note that this oven toaster only fits four slices of bread.
How We Tested It
Making toast is one of the basic yet critical task for an oven toaster. We set out initially to have a toast test and were able to get an amazing toast at 150 degree temperature control in a five-minute cooking time.
We had settled on the next test as we tried to cook our personalized version of our loaf bread pizza which is a common snack to do on ovens like this. We used some slices of hotdogs, mushrooms, pineapple chunks and cheese so we could identify its cooking ability on different food. The XTREME oven toaster was set into a 200 degree temperature control and a 10 minute cooking time. Decently, it was able to rustle up our home made loaf pizza just right with a pretty good melted cheese on top.
Our Final Thoughts About the XTREME Oven Toaster
Whether it’s a quick slice of morning toast, interchangeably, toaster ovens can also be used for kitchen task like pre-heating and reheating, broiling and baking. We can say that the XTREME Oven Toaster can live on your kitchen countertop as it can easily fit anywhere, where space is premium. We also liked that despite being one among the conventional toasters in market, its functionality is offering a fair amount of cooking versatility.
If you are looking for a small and affordable oven toaster, this might be a good option for you. However, if you prefer to have one that can perform its maximum capacity on its heating temperature and if you are looking for a wider space that can fit more than two breads for each rack, you might need to consider this if you are planning to purchase. Still, this oven performs great depending on your needs and functionality preference.
The XTREME Oven Toaster is priced at P1,695.00 with a one year warranty included for its parts and labor. It is available on Lazada and Shopee and on their website.
