- It's not just a toaster - it's bakes and broils, too! A handsome unit constructed of highly polished stainless steel, this spacious toaster oven uses convection to circulate heated air around food for fast, more even cooking. In fact, two sets of three quartz heating-elements - a total output of 1600 watts - cook food up to 30% faster. An easy-to-read digital LCD display is a breeze to use. The unique crumb tray and nonstick interior surface make cleanup a pleasure. One-year warranty.

- This is a great little toaster (and more) oven. We replaced an inexpensive oven that took five minutes for the elements to get hot enough to make toast, and this is our third toaster oven over the last 11 years. We don't use them all that much, a few times each week, but find them handy for toasting bread, bagles, casadillas, and some frozen products like fish sticks. The think I like most about the Krups FBC2 is how fast it makes toast. The elements glow red hot within ten seconds of hitting the start button. And both sides of the bread are toasted evenly. A result of the alternating top and bottom heating design. There are a couple of minor annoyances however; the convection fan is a little noisy and the signals/beeps when the start button is pressed and when the food is done are loud (the better to hear the signal from around the house). But the oven is well made, the shelves slide in and out with ease, the black color won't show smoke stains, and we found the controls straight forward and user friendly.
- I have only had this toaster oven a few days but I already love it. What I love best are the easy to use digital controls and the quick, even heating. This product is solidly built and looks great. It could benefit from some insulation though as the heat really pours off the outside surfaces. Highly recommended.
- I READ ALL THE REVIEWS-NO PROBLEMS
- WAS A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THE MELTING DOOR ISSUE.I HAD NO PROBLEM AT ALL.THIS IS AN AWESOME TOASTER-HAVE NOT BAKED YET.
- After being married for 22 years, we have been through many a toaster oven. I have researched the Krups oven like I would if I were buying a car! Most recently, we had an Oster. Not worth the money! Before that it was a Black & Decker. It was just OK. Now that we have the Krups, we couldn't be happier. It toasts wonderfully. We like waffles at our house. We put the toast level on 7....perfect for waffles. The broil function is great for fish. The convection is a plus and the oven never needs preheating. The heating elements alternate from top to bottom creating perfectly cooked and browned foods. The cost of this oven was higher than most, but well worth it. My regular oven is wondering what the heck happened!
We would not be without this oven. Thanks to Krups for outstanding design and performance.
- When the heating element in our 7-year old Krups Oven finally went toes-up, I spent some time looking for a replacement because we liked the oven so much. Not finding the element we began searching for a replacement.
We looked at all major brands, both on store racks and online. Admittedly we had a bias toward Krups from the previous oven but looking at the competition and moving the door and fingering the controls, nothing else had the manufactured quality of this oven.
We have been very happy with the electronic controls and the cooking abilities of the unit. My wife really likes the easily removeable crumb tray for clean up. The rack has two slots and sits at different heights depending on which way you insert it (up or down). The old oven had a tray the slid out when you opened the door and that's the only thing we miss about that oven. This one comes with a nice pair of tongs to pull the tray out.
- I've had this only a month, but I am loving this toaster oven. I have Usually had much cheaper and less useful ones. Although it's a higher price it has been worth it. I'm planning to use this a lot this summer.
- When I finally had to replace my old Black & Decker toaster oven, my first thought was to get another like it, but to my dismay, I found that the small toaster ovens had all downsized their power to the point that it took forever to toast bread and bagels. The results not only took a long time but were highly inconsistent. I went through several brands trying to get good results and finally decided to spend the money on this model. This Krups uses a new type of multiple quartz elements and great sensors to produce fast, accurate results. The toast is always browned evenly and consistently based on the setting used. It even compensates for the toaster being pre-warmed when doing multiple batches. Baking is equally well-controlled. My only concerns about this model are that it takes up more counter space and it is so solidly built that when it finally needs replacement, I will probably have to go through multiple toaster ovens again to find a good one. Krups, just keep making this one!
- My Black and Decker died after 8 years of faithful service. I couldn't find the same model, so I decided to upgrade to a larger size. After reading many reviews - I chose the Krups FBC2. I love this oven!
It makes the best toast and I can pop a frozen pizza in and it's done in 12 minutes.
Easy to use controls. It has weight to it - which I like very much.
And, it was packaged so well. I was impressed. Everything was wrapped in plastic and styrofoam.
The only thing I would change is how hot the outside gets (my Black and Decker stayed cool)- but, other than that it seems to be doing a great job!
- This is by far the best toaster oven I've ever owned. It cost more then some but you get what you pay for with this item and it is worth the money.
- Have not used my stove oven since receiving the Krups. I'm single and used to heat up the big oven for a couple of rolls or one baked potato! am very satisfied....

- It doesn't work - twice!!
- I received my first Krups toaster oven
Krups FBC2/FBC213 convection oven digital, black.
It died after 4 days. I called Krups and they were giving me the run-around. It would have taken many weeks before they
would have repaired or replaced the unit. Fortunately, Amazon was great.
They replaced the unit. It shipped the same day I called using UPS 2-day.
Unfortunately, the replacement unit was no better. It lasted not quite a week. Again, Amazon came to the rescue. They are accepting the second return and paying the return shipping (for the second time) and giving me a total refund. I've now ordered an Oster toaster oven (from Amazon of course). The bottom line: Krups NO! - Amazon YES.
- Over engineered under built
- We purchased this unit to replace two or three cheaper toaster ovens that lasted about a year each. This unit costs two to three times more than an inexpensive oven and that buys you the Krups name and a suitably Teutonic-looking exterior. About a year after we bought it the glass door snapped off due to metal fatigue on the bracket. We have no kids, do not abuse anything we own and use this unit probably twice a week. I contacted Krups customer service and they politely told me to "go forth and multipy".
While it worked well when it worked, the construction of this unit is basically garbage, just like every other Made in China junk toaster oven I've owned. It will not last any longer and it costs considerably more.
Save your money for something better or cheaper as the Krups quality is sorely missing from this unit.
- My wife and thought that we were buying a quality toaster oven, but after owning it for 4 months the whole top burner assembly will not work. Now we need to hassle shipping at our cost to their authorized shop and do without for who knows how long. Is this the Krups idea for quality??
- Two seperate copies of this Krup stopped toasting and the digatal functions failed within 4 weeks! No damn good if it doesn't work.
- DANGEROUSLY HOT WHEN USING
- After reading the reviews of this product on here. We went out
and bought this on 01-19-08. Unpacked it and ran it at 450
for 15 minutes per the manual. When done the glass was discolored,
so we ran it again..became even more discolored almost the entire door. We were also very alarmed at how hot is was to touch on the sides, front and top. Even hotter on the back. Very dangerous if you have small children. Needless to say we
brought it back the next day. I'm very surprised that no one mentioned
how hot it became while using it.
- Spontaneous Combustion in Your Own Kitchen!!
- We were very happy with our Krups toaster oven until the morning, 3 months after
purchase, we discovered it had spontaneously turned itself on sometime during
the night and was glowing red-hot on the kitchen counter.
It wouldn't turn off until we unplugged it.
Further experiments reveal that the timer and the off button no longer work.
Do not purchase this toaster oven! If you have one, unplug it!
If you use this oven, don't trust the timer to turn it off!
I've filed a report with the Consumer Products Safety Commission
asking for a recall.
- Sadly It's A Mafuntion and Dangerous
- Malfuntioned within first 30 minutes. Read a lot of reviews complaining of things going wrong, but looked so good. Krups name, all electronic with convection, quartz heating elements that switch back and forth for even cooking, great size, such simple controlls, some really good reviews and did I mention the name Krups.
To be dramatic this oven is like playing russian roulette. But do take it seriously. This oven can be DANGEROUS. I open the box, took it out, unpacked, read the directions and plugged it in. Set it to bake for 15 minutes as instructed. So far so good. Notice the oven gets very hot bit i read about it and I'll handle it. Start putting a meal together, look over at the oven and the broiler is on!
I check the controls three times and they are off! Unplugged it immediately. Later tried pugging it in again just to see what would happen though there's no way I can keep it now. Broiler goes on immediately! Gees Louise! I mean really!
Guess I'm just lucky it happened right away and like not when I was gone for the weekend or in bed asleep. Could also be a problen with children and other fragile things.
I knew from some others reviews that I was taking a gamble. It's quite something when you look over and see your new Krups toaster oven has turned itself on, is glowing red hot and you never told it to.
And did I mention the outside gets really hot.
- Do you feel lucky today, punk?
- After years of enduring cheap toaster ovens that performed poorly, I decided to buy the Krups digital convection toaster oven a few weeks ago. What a wonderful machine! It toasted fast and evenly, whether bread or bagels -- and it did a great job of quickly baking frozen entrees. I was so happy.
Happy, that is, until the toaster began reaching the end of its cycle and not turning off.
I went back and read the other handful of one-star reviews at amazon about this unit and came to the sad decision that it has fatal design flaws that a replacement unit might not fix -- ones that I'm not comfortable risking the safety of my family and house over.
So it will be returning and I'll be in the market once again for the illusive, perfect toaster oven.
To amazon's credit, their customer service was very gracious and interested in reporting the potential fire hazard.
- Dangerous and Big Product
- This "toaster" is giant and it won't turn off.
These two features combined created a scary situation in my home...twice...with the first one I rec'd, and the replacement a few weeks later.
I don't know what's up with this machine but for both units, on the first round of toast, steam poured out of the top vent, the timer counted down to zero, the beep sounded, and the heating elements stayed ON. No button pushing would turn it off, only unplugging the unit would turn it off. Just say Whoa.
- I purchased the Krups Toaster/Oven FBC-2 from Kitchen Kapers, through Amazon.com. UPS delivered the unit in good condition. I was pleased with the design of the unit, and it worked well for four days. Then it failed in the manner reported by some other purchasers on the Amazon.com website. I could not turn off the unit without removing the plug from the power outlet. Then it simply would not power up.
I contacted Kitchen Kapers by email to report the problem. They responded on the first work day after my report. I was told that UPS would pick up the defective unit and my request for a refund would be honored. UPS picked up the item the following day and Amazon.com refunded my payment as soon as the unit arrived at Kitchen Kapers, which was three days later.
Needless to say, I was disappointed in the Krups toaster oven. It is obviously poorly engineered. This is not a new problem with this unit, so it is odd that Krups has not dealt with it by now.
But I must say that I am more than pleased with Kitchen Kapers. My customer service contact, Jackie Mastin, was superb. She often responded to my emails within 30 minutes with clear and friendly instructions. All companies would profit by adopting the quality of customer service demonstrated by Kitchen Kapers.

- The oven works great. I researched a lot of different Toaster Ovens and this one was consistently rated the best and I'm certainly happy with it.
- Take this review for what it is worth. I bought Amazon's "refurbished" Krups FBC2 6 oven. I arrived in original box with all original packaging. Everything looked from the outside to be satisfactory. All parts and pieces were present and accounted for. I ran it through its initial 30 minute bake cycle as instructed to do by the Owners Manual. Performed fine. I used it to toast pita bread 4+ times over the week-end. Everything fine. I leave it plugged in but in the off position for the week. When I return to it, I notice that there is no power to the unit. It turns out that the oven "killed" the surge bar it was plugged into. I move the oven and plug it into the same circuit that the refrigerator is plugged into ( not the same outlet, mind you). Turning on the oven, instantly the oven and the refrigerator (compressor on) trip the circuit breaker.
After resetting the breaker, the refrigerator and the oven (!) turn on. Why is the oven on? The ON button hasn't been pushed. I hit the OFF button. The oven remains on with all heating elements blasting! It is getting super hot! I quickly unplug it. Return it to its box. Ship it back to Amazon. "refurbished" my #$%!
- quick heating, roomy for baking or warming a loaf of bread, excellent product. I had the similar Cuisinart Toaster Oven before this one, but this one is decidedly superior and adds the convection oven feature, which the Cuisinart did not have.

- I purchased the Krups Black Convection Toaster Oven a few months ago from Fortunoff because I was upgrading what I already had, a Proctor Silex 4-Slice Black Toaster Oven. The differences are night and day. I can't tell you how much I love this new appliance.
...But before I get to how much I adore this, I wanted to address some of the confusion about the different Krups countertop ovens. The item number of this unit is FBC212. Krups also manufactures 2 similar units, item numbers: FBC312 and FBC412. All 3 units look almost exactly the same and have nearly identical features (they even all use the same instructional booklet). However FBC312 and FBC412 are slightly more expensive. The main difference between those 2 units and this one is that they have an extra function called the "expert controlled cooking function." It just means that they have some preset cooking times and temperatures for certain recipes but in my opinion does not warrant the higher prices. If you're a true domestic cook you don't need a machine to give you preset times or temps for anything so I can't see spending the extra dough on that.
One of the main reasons why I choose this machine over the plethora of others is because of the way it looks. It's my favorite color (and probably yours, too) black. Black is just the perfect kitchen color because it makes food appear more appetizing and is very forgiving if you have any spots or smudges. I make it a policy to only buy everything for my kitchen in black because I like everything to be uniform, however I'm finding that at times it's getting more and more difficult to find black kitchen items. Besides KitchenAid (who knows the importance of kitchen unification) there doesn't seem to be too many other manufacturers that make things that either aren't white, yellow, stainless steel or some obscure color like bisque or eggshell (yuck!) So I was incredibly grateful that Krups made this toaster oven in black.
Of course the unit is sleek and has a very contemporary design. I love the oversized handle in the front because besides being really nice to look at, it was put there to actually do something and serves a useful functionality. The coloring shade is perfect too because it's not a shiny black (the picture on this page is horrendous, BTW). It's more of the color of a KitchenAid matt-black mixer or hard-anodized cookware.
This machine comes with a ton of accessories, which include: 2 reversible shelves, an all-purpose backing sheet, a broiling pan and a set of tongs. You can actually fit everything in it at once, but why would you want to? I only use 1 of the shelves and the baking sheet, everything else is stowed away with my other baking items. Of course it also comes with the standard crumb tray. When you first open the box don't get worried if you do not see all of these accessories inside the unit, together. Because they're all actually packaged inside a separate box, under the unit.
I can't tell you how much I enjoy the convention feature on this toaster oven. I have used it nearly everyday since I first got it to make pizza, nachos, chicken wings and various other dishes for my household and everything comes out perfect. I couldn't believe how fast and crisp it made everything. The pizza actually was better the second time around.
Keep in mind that when the convection fan is on the unit cooks faster and thus the temps and times have to be adjusted. Personally, I like everything very crisp (with those dark golden-brown bubbly oven marks) so I don't have to do too much adjusting. But in general you're going to want to lessen the cook time by about 30% and take off at least 25 to 50 degrees on the temp.
I recently used my new Krups Toaster oven to bring over dinner for my brother-in-law and sister. They were just coming back from a lovely cruise and even though it was late at night I wanted to make sure they had a nice dinner. (I don't know about you, but it makes me ill how the airlines can keeping hiking the prices higher and higher while giving their passengers absolutely no food and abysmal service, but that's another topic.) Anyway, I made them breaded center-cut pork chops and they came out great (I included the recipe at the end of this review). They cooked in no time and the breading came out just like fried.
Another reason why I use my oven so often is because it's so healthy. It's much more healthy than frying or sauteing and the taste is always just as good, if not much better. The only other kitchen appliance that I use as much (or nearly as much) is my George Foreman Grill and that's because it's another item that makes everything taste great while "knocking out the fat." If you're dieting or just trying to cut back then this toaster oven is for you because it's a really easy way to start eating healthier again.
The unit also has many features that standard toaster ovens do not offer. Of course it has a clock, however this is something that most kitchens probably do not need. What I was happy about though is that the clock does not light up when the kitchen lights are off (I find that looks so tacky). The unit has large/oversized buttons and dedicated buttons for convection baking, broiling, defrosting, toasting and even conventional baking (because some items, like small baked breads do not cook as well with the convection setting). I also like the large start/stop button and I love how the control panel lights up like a microwave when everything is done and beeps 5 times (it's not too loud and it's not too soft, I'd describe the sound as "just right.") It also has progressive timing that counts down (in minute increments) on the display as it's working.
Another feature that hasn't been discussed yet is the oversized oven capacity. This is one of those units that has a slightly extended inside-backing to allow long and odd-shaped items to fit nicely inside. I've seen other toasters ovens with this benefit, however they do not have any of the other features that Krups offers and they have been much more expensive.
I also appreciate the large tempered glass window because it's oversized and allows for easy viewing from any angel. And the door also has 2 different positions. If you're just opening it and will close it again quickly, you can let it hang down naturally. Or if you want it to lay flat it has a locking mechanism, as well.
The maintenance and cleanup for the toaster oven is a breeze. All of the accessories and pans are dishwasher safe (the book doesn't say it, but believe me they are). But to save on the extra cleanup, every time I use it, I line the baking sheet with foil and spray it with a touch of PAM . I can't tell you how useful this small step is. The outside and the inside of the unit are also completely nonstick, it doesn't develop those oily oil particles that other toaster ovens often do. Usually I just clean it with some Mr. Clean wipes after each use. And sometimes I use Easy-Off Glass Top Cleaner.
Keep in mind never to use the tongs (or any metal utensils) to grab the baking sheet or broiling pan out with because it will scratch them. You can use the tongs to pull the cooking shelves out though. What I do to get food out is simply pull the shelves with the tongs and then use a plastic spatula to grab the food or I use the metal tongs, making sure they do not touch anything besides the food or the lined foil. (You can also use silicon tongs but you don't really need to.)
Prior to using it for the first time I also recommend running the unit empty for 15 minutes on 450 degrees. It goes into more details about this in the booklet, but doing this helps to sanitize it. I also recommend washing all of the accessories, as well.
By the way, there is hardly any noise when the unit is running and that includes when the convection mode is on. It's nearly whisper-quiet and much quieter than my prior toaster oven.
Below is one of my favorite recipes to make in my new toaster oven. It was a recipe I found in one of my America's Test Kitchen cookbooks, but I reworked it a little to adjust the times for convention cooking and just to make it generally more easier (some ATK recipes can be very time-consuming and rather difficult).
Crisp-Skin High-Roast Whole-Leg Chicken w/ Potatoes
Brine:
1/4 salt
1/4 sugar
1 quart water
Herb Butter:
2 tablespoons butter, softened
salt & pepper
Dried Thyme, Parsley & Chives
Clove Garlic, minced
Chicken/Potatoes:
4-5 whole-legs (drumsticks w/ thighs attached)
5 medium sized potatoes, pealed and sliced thin (about 1/4 inch each)
1-2 tablespoons EVOO
Salt & Fresh Cracked Pepper
Dried Parsley
For the Brine - mix all ingredients in large container, add chicken once salt/sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate 1 hour. After hour, drain chicken, rinse under cold water, pat very dry with paper towels.
For Herb Butter - in a medium bowl mix all ingredients together with rubber spatula.
Roast Chicken/Potatoes:
Rub Chicken with half tablespoon of olive oil, pepper and parsley. Apply Herb butter underneath the skin of all sections of chicken, using your fingers to remove the skin from the meat.
Liberally spray both broiling pan & baking pan with PAM. Completely baking pan cover in aluminum foil, making sure there aren't any gaps, feel free to overlap with foil if there are any gaps. Spray foil very liberally with PAM.
Toss Potatoes w/ 1 tablespoon of olive oil & salt & pepper.
Spread baking pan with the potatoes in an even layer. Cover baking pan with the broiling pan on top of it.
Put whole chicken inside broiling pan, keeping pieces as close together as possible.
Convection Bake for 35 minutes @ 450 degrees. Chicken should have an internal temp of 160 degrees once done.
Here's another one of my favorite recipes that's almost embarrassingly easy:
Seasoned Chicken Thighs
Package boneless/skinless chicken thighs (with any excess fat trimmed off)
Packet wild rice seasoning
Dip chicken thighs in seasoning on both sides, place in lined backing pan w/ foil and PAM, lightly sprayed. Convection Bake @ 375 degrees for 13-15 mins., turning halfway through.
Convection Oven Pork Chop Recipe
4 to 6 Center-cut Pork Phops (boneless)
1 Egg
3/4 Cup Italian Bread Crumbs (or homemade bread crumbs)
Dried Parsley & Chives
Salt & Pepper
Tobasco Sauce
Spray baking sheet liberally with PAM. Line it with large piece of foil. If foil does not completely cover, spray foil and uncovered section and cover with more foil. When sheet is entirely covered with foil, spray with more PAM.
Pat down chops with a paper towel. Sprinkle w/ salt, pepper & parsley on both sides of pork chops. Add dash of Tobasco and dried chives to egg. Beat. Add pork chops, 1 at a time to egg mixture. Then to bread crumbs, shaken off excess crumbs.
Arrange each piece on baking sheet length wise. Convection Bake @ 325 degrees for 30 minutes, or until internal temp is 170. (There is no need to turn pork chops or rotate pan while it is cooking.)
I hope you enjoy your Krups Toaster Oven as much as I enjoy mine. I am certain that any kitchen can find many uses for this because it's so versatile and makes so many tasks much quicker and easier.

- best toaster oven I ever bought
- Krups FBC2 6-Slice Digital Convection Toaster Oven, BlackI've been a homemaker for 34 years and three children and have gone through my share of toaster ovens. I bought this in ll/2006 and have never had a problem. I highly recommend this toaster oven.
- Krups FBC2 Convection, Toaster Oven
- We are extremely pleased with the Krups FBC2 convection,toaster oven we recently purchased from Amazon. The appliance is attractive, well made, and easy to use. Toasting and broiling produces excellent results. We have no complaints and would recommend it without reservations.
- Dangerous and Big Product
- This "toaster" is giant and it won't turn off.
These two features combined created a scary situation in my home...twice...with the first one I rec'd, and the replacement a few weeks later.
I don't know what's up with this machine but for both units, on the first round of toast, steam poured out of the top vent, the timer counted down to zero, the beep sounded, and the heating elements stayed ON. No button pushing would turn it off, only unplugging the unit would turn it off. Just say Whoa.
