I am blaming all of you in this thread for convincing me to buy the Breville. It's all your fault. Marketing ploy? Nope....peer pressure I tell you!!!!!

My old B&D started acting up....it was the thermostat. At 12+ years old, not worth fixing. It got used very often so I'm not terribly surprised.

I think I'm going to enjoy this beast immensely. It takes up a "little" bit more counter than the old one but wow....it's nice.

"Over the weekend I made roasted Brussel's Sprouts in it"

Odd coincidence, I did the same thing in mine on Sunday as well. A 12" cast iron pan fits in easily. With the convection mode on, I was able to get a very good and even caramelization in under 30 minutes. I think the Breville will be used even more this summer to avoid turning on the oven.

For the spouts we just used the pan which came with the oven. It worked fine. Still haven't roasted the parsnips. . .
