Fooling around with chicken skin stuffed with a sausage-like mix. 

 

375F 20 min in the BSOa

 

The result was crispy and firm enough to take several bites through without it falling apart.  There is something to this I think. Now if I only had more chicken skin...

Fooling around with breaded pork tenderloin thickness... The ideal thickness is 1/4 inch at most.  Any thicker and the juices will make the breading soggy on the plate.

 

Perhaps you could cook it past MR and avoid this issue.

I will cross post to the cook off thread.

Pan frying to 145f might be different. It might be well dried out and not wet the crust. 

 

 I airfried to 130 ...still very juicy and crust-wetting. 

 

But I wonder about pan frying to 145 anyway.  The edges have to be way overcooked to get 145 in the center.

A heads up if you are thinking of getting a BSOA.  Williams-Sonoma has them on a rare sale at $319.99.  Usually Amazon drops the price to match, which is where I got mine, but so far they haven't - they are at $375.

Amazon has matched the $320 price.

Just ordered one through Airmiles. I'm temporarily living in a basement suite for another year as I switch cities for a new job, and I'm hoping that this will be a better replacement than the cheap toaster oven the landlord provided.

Does anyone have a 7.25 qt Le Creuset Round French Oven and know if it fits in here? I'm thinking it's just a tad too small... wondering if I should bring mine out from Calgary next time I visit.

I have the BSO Air.  I just filled my biggest Le Crueset with water and it held 6 quarts to the top, so smaller than yours.  In the bottom it says 26 which I assume to be cm.  The pot across the top is 10".  This one fits easily into this oven with lots of room to spare on all sides and the top.  I hope this is of some help.

Thanks Elsie. It's the height that I'm mostly concerned about. Online it says the oven is 7 inches high which is the approx same height as the dutch oven according to online stats. I guess once I get the oven, I'll get my father in Calgary to measure it with the lid. Might be able to make it squeeze in if I customize it with a smaller knob.

Or use it as an excuse to buy a smaller one... but to tell you the truth, I don't see the point of a smaller one. Anything I can do in a small one, I can do in a big one... maybe get a $50 one from Amazon Basics since it's only temp.  Or invest in a different shaped one.

@CanadianHomeChef, unless you need an especially heavy lid for the particular cook, another option is to get a silicone lid that fits the Dutch oven in question. Here's a rectangular "banana leaf" lid by Charles Viancin; the company makes a variety of shapes and sizes. They stand up well to the heat, although I've seen some discoloration in mine.

Question:  how do you clean the inside top of the thing?  I can clean the racks, sides and back, but is there a good way to clean the inside top?  I have cooked a lot of bacon in there recently and it needs cleaning.

I've had the Breville BOV845 (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)  for quite a few years, maybe eight or so, and it's starting to behave badly.  It's still quite useable, but I sense that it's getting close to retirement.

 

That said, I'm thinking about the larger BOV900 (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) as its replacement. If I've read this thread correctly, @ElsieD and @mgaretz have, or have had, this oven, maybe @gfweb as well.  Has anyone else owned this puppy?

 

How has this worked out for you over the years?  Now that you've had this oven for some time, has your opinion of it changed?  What have you learned over several years of ownership?  What do you consider it best/worst features or attributes?

 

Can I really get the 5.5 quart Le Creuset Dutch oven into the thing, perhaps with the lid and knob on? I wouldn't mind removing the knob or using a silicone or other lid, but would like to know what to expect.

 

Have you tried Chris Young's air fryer fries with the Breville?

Thanks for any advice on this ...

Another question just crossed my mind: how long can the oven remain on before shutting off automatically?

A few hours...4? maybe more.

 

Still very happy with the BSOa.  Gets used more than daily.

 

I don't airfry anything anymore...through no fault of the BSOa.

 

I think that the pot will fit.  Probably would use foil rather than silicon.

I found the manual online.

 

https://www.breville.com/content/dam/breville/us/assets/miscellaneous/instruction-manual/ovens/BOV900-instruction-manual.pdf

 

also here ... one may be better for some than the other.

 

https://assets.breville.com/Instruction-Booklets/USCM/BOV900_USCM_IB_K21_LR.pdf

 

On page 10, if I'm reading it correctly, it shows the maximum time before the oven turns off automatically to be between 1 and 72 hours depending  on the mode and temperature.  I was surprised at how long the oven can remain on ... Slow Cook mode on low can run as many as 72 hours.

 

If need be, and since you mentioned it, I'd use foil as I already have more than a 2-year supply.

You sure this isn't the cutoff for dehydrating?
