Breville BOV845BSS Smart Oven Pro is the first oven that introduces element IQ. The body is constructed from brushed stainless steel. The design is simple yet sleek, and the oven itself is very compact. It comes with a convection setting that makes transforms it into a countertop convection oven. The convection can reduce the cooking time by 30% while making sure that your food is evenly cooked. It also comes with ten preset cooking functions.

Along with the Breville BOV845BSS, you get a 12 x12 inches enamel baking pan, 12 x12 inches enamel broiling rack, and a 13 inches pizza pan for a small pizza party. The interior area is 0.8 cubic feet. That can hold a 13-inch pizza (as mentioned earlier), six slice toast, 9 cup muffin, and a whole chicken. The energy consumed by the product calculates about 110 to 120 Volts or 1800 Watts.

Features of Breville BOV845BSS Smart Oven Pro

• Smart Element IQ: Smart element IQ manages the heat across all five quartz heating elements that balance desired and required heat. This helps ensure that no spot gets more heat, and no spot is left deprived of it. It will deliver you a perfect cooking experience. Also, the 1800 Watt preheat will speed up the cooking process.
• Convection Fan: The Breville BOV845BSS Smart Oven Pro comes with an inbuilt fan that circulates air inside the oven. The air in direct contact with the heating elements gets heated up quickly, while the rest takes more time. The fan keeps shuffling the air inside; hence, more air comes in contact with the heating elements quickly. This speeds up the oven's heating and cooking process while circulating the heat (hot air) evenly in every corner of it.
• Interior Oven Light: The oven comes with an integrated light that helps you take a peek at the cooking process. But that's not all. The light itself has an auto shut off feature and an independent control button. The light is replaceable, the same as a regular oven. So if you are worried about your food, go ahead and take a peek.
• LCD Display: Tired of old, analog setting, and display? Breville BOV845BSS Smart Oven Pro has an LCD that helps you pick from 10 preset settings, temperatures, and cooking time. The integrated light of the oven is turned on when the countdown has finished.
• 10 Preset Settings: This Breville BOV845BSS Smart Oven offers you a list of 10 cooking setting function. This preset setting assists you in attaining the perfect setting for the dish you want to cook. This also saves you from the hassle of manually setting it according to your cooking needs. You will still have to do that if you don't find your desired setting on the list. These settings include Toast, Bagel, Bake, Roast, Broil, Pizza, Cookies, Reheat, Warm, and Slow Cook.
• Slow Cook Function: Want to play with flavors and want to cook for longer hours? Well, this oven is equipped with that feature as well. With this function, you can slow cook your dishes at 'HI' temperature for 2 to 8 hours or cook at 'LO' temperature at 4 to 10 hours, according to your need. So you can let your meat simmer inside the oven and let the juices do their job.
• Auto-Off and Alert: Like most of the ovens, the power cuts once the timer runs out and alerts the user.
• Temperature Conversion: You can switch between Celsius or Fahrenheit unit of temperature, whatever suits you the best.
• Frozen Food Function: There is also an additional function for frozen foods.
• Color Changing LCD: The LCD changes color according to your chosen settings.
