How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

The Quick Touch Crisp Microwave ~ Changing The Way You Cook!

in Everyday on 10/19/16

Here’s something you’ve probably been hearing on repeat.  I’m busy, swamped, crazed, crushed for time.  This Mama is tired!  Here in the suburbs we’re firmly back into the crazy hectic routine of school. This means after school activities are back on, the pressure of homework is in full force, and we’ve always got carpool, work and social lives to deal with.  I can admit it, I’m missing the lazy days of summer. What does all of this mean?  I’m once again looking for every shortcut I can to make our lives easier in the kitchen.  My latest and most exciting discovery?  The Breville Quick Touch Crisp Microwave.  It’s smart cooking technology that will have you shaking your head in amazement, and it’s all wrapped up in a very pretty little package.

Why is this small appliance different than all the rest? It has smart technology, does the thinking for you, and is different than a conventional microwave in so many ways.  It will change the way you think about how you cook in the kitchen.  This versatile appliance doesn’t just warm things up leaving hot spots and soggy pizza crusts in its wake.  It cooks in an entirely different way.  It can melt, crisp, and cook food with just the touch of a button. It’s true! No more soggy chicken pot pies, wet quiches, ruined pastries or pizza you might get with traditional microwave reheating. The Breville Quick Touch Crisp delivers crisp, evenly browned results to all of your favourite foods.  Ever dreamt of super speedy grilled cheese sandwiches without turning on an oven?  What about baked potatoes done to perfection….in half the time and no guesswork?  It can be done!  Just look at what I did without turning on the stove top.  I made a mouthwatering grilled cheese sandwich.  It was hot, crispy, and now I can’t stop making grilled cheese sandwiches without the mess of pots or heating up the stove!

How does it do it?  Smart technology automatically determines the right time and power level for different food types and switches to grill, when needed, to maintain the integrity of your dish’s intended texture and taste.

The Quick Touch Crisp also comes complete with eight one-touch auto buttons. These pre-programmed shortcuts make common kitchen tasks fast and easy––from crispy pizza, frozen snacks, to softening butter and popping popcorn.  In short, it is amazing!

I experimented with our Quick Touch Crisp.  Here are some remarkable ways we’ve used this appliance:

  • reheating leftover pizza while maintaining it’s crispiness
  • creating a toasted/grilled cheese sandwich without turning on the stove
  • apple crisp~ re-heated to perfection and the top stayed crisp
  • a “baked potato”!  By simply pressing potato and letting the appliance do the work.  It knows what to do.

How does it help to make things crispy?

There is a special pan for that.  The Breville Crisper Pan is a specially-designed, microwave- safe, metal pan with adjustable legs that allow the pan to get close to grill so food forms a golden top and a crispy bottom.

Magic.  The Quick Touch CrispTM can maintain your food’s crispy texture and even brown foods with its unique, integrated crisper pan.

Key Features:

  • Adjust power level and time anytime during cooking one-touch auto buttons
  • Inverter technology regulates power for more even heating Independent grill function
  • Preheat pan function ensures food is browned quickly and evenly
  • 30 sec instant start
  • 8 pre-programmed shortcuts for common kitchen tasks Programmable favourite button
  • A Bit More® button adds additional time to the cooking cycle Kitchen timer and 24 or 12 hour clock setting

What I loved:  

  • The short cut buttons.  Breville’s Shortcut buttons, tucked away on the inside of the door, make it easy to cook or reheat certain foods with one simple touch, because they are pre-programmed to achieve the ideal time, temperature and results. Choose from Beverage, Popcorn, Baked Potato, Pizza, Bacon, Grilled Cheese, Frozen Snacks, Melt Chocolate or Soften Butter.  Yes, it “melts” chocolate for you.  Softens butter without fail, and I can’t stop hitting the “Beverage” button to re-heat my never ending cups of coffee.
  • The crisper tray is dishwasher safe.
  • Time and power can be adjusted on the fly
  • Defrosting just got easier thanks to “Smart Defrost”.  This setting is designed to gently defrost foods without overheating it or drying out the edges.  No more rubber chicken.

Would I recommend this appliance?  Yes.  If you are looking to purchase or upgrade your current microwave, consider the Breville Quick Touch Crisp.  All the benefits of a traditional microwave oven, and a whole lot more.  You can find our more information about Breville by following them on Twitter here .
