Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.
The Toaster from BALMUDA uses steam technology, heat control, and five different modes to bring out the best in any type of bread.
REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY: A thin layer of steam envelops the bread as it heats faster than air, lightly toasting its surface while keeping its inner moisture and flavor from escaping.
PRECISE TEMPERATURE CONTROL: Precise control of three temperature zones results in fantastic flavor and texture contrasts: crisp and savory on the outside, moist and fluffy on the inside.
TASTE, AROMA, TEXTURE: Make the most of BALMUDA The Toaster's many modes to bring out the best in any type of food. Artisan Bread Mode, Sandwich Bread Mode, Pizza Mode, Pastry Mode, and Over Mode are some of the options available.
BALMUDA The compact design of the toaster complements any kitchen décor or countertop.

Questions & Answers

Isn't it possible to get the same results by putting the bread in a tray of water or spraying it in a cheap toaster?

At our company, we conducted numerous tests to determine the differences between misting and steam, and discovered that controlling moisture was difficult because bread could absorb moisture directly and become soggy. BALMUDA The Toaster is unique in that it transfers heat from the steam to the bread, quickly warming it from the outside in while preventing moisture from escaping. Furthermore, because the burn marks differ depending on the shape of the interior, we made numerous detailed adjustments, including to the interior design, such as making the front glass area small to create a shape in which the interior temperature does not change easily.

Is it possible for the Balmuda to bake a loaf of bread? Is there a gap between the pan and the upper heating element? 5" or 6"?

Please accept our apologies for any confusion, but the distance between the upper heating element and the pan is 2.

What are the interior dimensions of this oven, and what pan sizes can it accommodate?

The interior measurements are 10 inches by 10 inches. W 79 in. X H 8 in. 071 in L x 031 in W 007 in H. This toaster will work with a 10 in x 7 in x 1 in pan.

In "Artisan Bread" mode, I've noticed that the bottom heating element does not turn on, leaving the bottom largely untoasted. Is this something that happens frequently?

I don't toast my bread on the tray. The bottom of the pan is also toasted.

Maybe I'm dithering here
4/5

First and foremost, let me state unequivocally that this is the best toaster oven I've ever used. On top, the bread toasts evenly, and underneath, it toasts fairly evenly. The bottom of the toast does not match the top because, of course, the bottom of the toast rests on a rack. The toast is delicious. br>br>It appears that the toaster is of high quality. If you want or need a toaster oven and don't mind paying a premium for it, I believe you will be satisfied with your purchase. When it comes to toasting bread, I believe the steam feature makes a significant difference. br>br>I docked a star because the instructions and the unit itself make no mention of frozen toaster waffles. Every year, hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on toaster waffles in the United States. Perhaps toaster waffles aren't very popular in Japan, which explains why they're not mentioned and why they don't come with any instructions, such as whether or not to use steam when toasting them, or recommended times, etc. This simply means that people who want to heat their frozen waffles on a regular basis will have to experiment until they find what works best for them. Sure, it's possible that some will go to waste, but it's also possible that none will. br>br>Let me tell you about my frozen waffle adventure with the Balmuda. First, I sent an email to the company, asking if they had any recommendations for these. They replied that they should be toasted for 4 minutes on the regular toast setting, with 5cc of water added to ensure steaming. So that's what I did. When I tried to eat the waffles, they broke apart. It was far too soft on the inside. So I tried it again with the same setting and steam for 5 minutes, then 6 minutes. Still, I'm not feeling well. Then I experimented with the Pizza and other product options. But it's still not enough. The idea of steaming the waffles had finally failed me. After that, I changed the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. I pre- After 5 minutes at 400 degrees, add two waffles to the toaster oven. I cooked for 5 minutes (insufficiently cooked), then 6 minutes (insufficiently cooked), and finally 7 minutes. br>br>In the end, I was satisfied with: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes, then heat the waffles for another 7 minutes. br>br>I'm glad I bought the Balmuda, assuming it lasts a long time.

Worth it
5/5

I've been considering buying a Balmuda or a Mitsubishi TO- ST1- While the Balmuda doesn't do Toast justice as well as the TO-, it's still a good start. ST1- T, but Balmuda is the winner because it has a lot more features. This has been my go-to method for cooking frozen and precooked foods. Included are any frozen leftovers. It can handle everything from sausages to chicken pieces, so I wouldn't limit its use to baked goods and toast. As promised, the food is extremely crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. br>I'd like to point out that only a few foods (primarily bagels, toast, and pizza) are covered by the instructions. However, once you understand how each setting works, you'll be able to use it to prepare a variety of foods. On the toast setting, I was able to cook scallops with the perfect interior on the 17-minute setting. It takes 19 minutes to complete. br>At the end of the day, it's something you should keep in your kitchen because it can almost entirely replace your microwave with a much better flavor and taste.

It was well worth the money
5/5

What the hell is going on? I've never made a better toast than this. I put the Balmuda toaster oven up against my $60 toaster oven in a taste test. With the texture and moistness of the inside of the toast, you can really taste the difference. Balmuda blew my other toaster out of the water. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. br>br>Excellently packaged. br>br> It was packed in a box within a box, which was then placed inside the Amazon box. Now there is a lot of cardboard to recycle. The styrofoam used to hold the toaster in the box is something I dislike. However, this is merely a matter of taste. The cord is a little short and in the back, but it does not bother me. The rack, oven tray, and 5cc cup were all thoroughly cleaned. Place the rack in the oven, followed by the toast, and turn the oven on to 3 degrees. My toast took 5 minutes to make and turned out perfectly (toasty crust on the outside and soft inside). inside is a little damp). During the toasting phase, I felt around the toaster to see how much heat it gives off. br>br>next test!br>br>during the toasting phase, I felt around the toaster to see how much heat it gives off. Balmuda only felt warm, so that was another thumbs up point for me. My old toaster was hot all over, so I had to be careful where I placed it to avoid damaging the wall, things near the toaster, and so on. Keep the capacity and measurements in mind. I never understand why someone would buy a product without knowing the measurements and then go write a bad review complaining about the measurements/capacity of the product, as if it were their fault. br>br>I chose the black version. I like how simple and sleek the design is; it complements my home nicely. Although the price is a little high, if you enjoy toast, bread, or pastries, this is a purchase you will not be disappointed with. Now that I've replaced my toaster, I'm recycling it!.
