SECAUCUS, N.J., Sept. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic today
introduced the FlashXpress™ Toaster Oven (model NB-G110P) to its
2012 lineup of Home Appliance products. The new FlashXpress
Toaster Oven, is equipped with a unique quartz and ceramic heating
system that allows for fast cook time and convenient, preset menu
buttons which eliminates a user's need to calculate cook
time.
The FlashXpress Toaster Oven is comprised of a double infrared
heating system made up of both quartz and ceramic heating elements
which allows for food to be cooked more efficiently than
conventional toaster ovens that are heated with coils. The
far-infrared heating element is used to cook the outside of the
food while the near-infrared element penetrates food to cook from
the inside out. Additionally, the FlashXpress Toaster Oven's
quartz heating element heats up instantly to the desired
temperature, ranging from 250 degrees F to 500 degrees F,
eliminating the need for preheating and allowing users to cook food
fast when in a hurry.
"Panasonic is committed to making life simpler in the kitchen
and home, and with the new FlashXpress Toaster Oven we are doing
just that," said Nicholas Monaco,
Product Manager, Small Appliances, Panasonic Consumer Marketing
Company of North America. "The FlashXpress's unique cooking
ability outperforms conventional toaster ovens in cooking time and
allows food to be cooked evenly from the inside out, resulting in
better taste in faster time."
A cooking menu with six illustrated preset buttons automatically
calculates cooking time for a variety of foods including bread
items, frozen foods and dishes that need to be reheated.
Users can also control temperature and desired food shade with
one-touch buttons. A digital timer, ranging from 30 seconds
to 25 minutes, makes it easy to see how much time is left for food
preparation and a reminder beep alerts users to when food is
done. An interior light, which can easily be turned on
and off via the button on the front of the toaster oven, allows
users to clearly view food while cooking, without having to open
the door of the toaster oven.
The unique, compact design of the FlashXpress Toaster Oven
reduces its footprint on the countertop, without sacrificing
interior space. The spacious 7.2 quart interior allows for
users to prepare meals, bake deserts or heat up leftovers and
includes a square-shaped inner tray which is large enough to fit up
to four slices of bread. Plus, a removable crumb tray makes
cleaning a breeze.
The Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven has earned the Good
Housekeeping Seal. Since 1909, this prestigious Seal has been
granted to products that have been submitted for and passed a
rigorous evaluation by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute. As
part of Good Housekeeping's Consumers' Policy, if a
