Heat Up Your Holidays With the Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven-Review

I’ve always viewed toaster ovens as a bit of a useless item in the kitchen.  I already have a toaster, a microwave, and an oven, so why would I need a toaster oven?  But as I got older, and with having children, I started to look more closely at what I was eating and how it was prepared.

Microwaves pretty much kill any nutritional value in food, ovens take forever to heat up and cook, and toasters can only do so much.  Slowly, toaster ovens started sounding more appealing.  Then I got the opportunity to check out the Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven.  This toaster oven has completely changed my mind on cooking appliances!

The Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven has double infared heating that eliminates the need for preheating and speeds up the cooking time.  With the Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven, I no longer have to wait around for my oven to preheat.  I simply put my food in, select the temperature and time, or one of the preprogrammed buttons, and I’m all set.  The toaster oven is even equipped with an timer to let me know my food is done!

The Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven also has a fairly large cooking area, with enough room to toast 4 pieces of bread or cook a 9 inch pizza.  You can even bake a cake in it!  With the busyness of the holiday season, the Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven is exactly what I need to help me quickly prepare meals for the kiddos while I get other things done.

The Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven would also make an excellent gift for a foodie on your list.  If you know someone who is always looking for more convenient ways of cooking, they would appreciate the Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven.  It’s also more versitile than a toaster, allowing for a wider variety of cooking options.

The Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven comes with six preset cooking buttons to cook toast, waffles, bagels, hashbrowns, pizza, and to reheat items.  These handy buttons take the guesswork out of preparing foods.  With how convenient the Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven is, my husband certainly wishes he had one back when he was in college!

My seven year old loves baking her pizza bagels, my ten month old loves having toast, and I’m loving the quick ability to reheat leftovers in the Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven.  My husband is looking forward to using the Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven to cook our hashbrowns on Christmas morning- it’s one less thing we have to worry about!

Whether you’re looking for a way to make your holidays a little less stressful, or you’re looking for a great gift for the holidays, the Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven is the perfect fit.  Be sure to let your loved ones know it’s on your Christmas list this year!
