The CIARRA CATOSMC01 is a versatile toaster oven with an integrated air fryer, designed to offer a wide range of cooking functions for household use. This appliance combines multiple cooking methods into a single unit, making it a practical addition to any kitchen.
The CATOSMC01 offers six primary cooking functions, each controlled by dedicated knobs on the control panel:
AIR FRY Function: This function utilizes top heating elements and an air fry fan to circulate hot air, allowing for crispy results with little to no oil. Food is arranged on the air fry basket, which is placed on top of the baking pan in the top rack position. The temperature and timer are adjustable. For cook times less than 20 minutes, the timer must be turned past the 20-minute mark to engage the switch before setting the desired time. The top heating elements cycle ON and OFF to maintain the set temperature. It's recommended to toss food evenly in about one tablespoon of oil for hand-cut fries or vegetables to achieve crispy and browned results, though frozen foods or high-fat items like chicken wings or bacon typically don't require oil. For large quantities, flipping or tossing food halfway through the cooking cycle ensures even cooking and browning. The oven does not require pre-heating for air frying.
TOAST Function: Designed for toasting various types of bread, waffles, and muffins. Both top and bottom heating elements operate in this mode. The temperature control knob should be set to 450°F/TOAST. The timer is set by turning it past the 20-minute mark and then back to the desired toast shade between 0 and 10 minutes. Lighter breads and waffles require a lighter setting, while darker breads, muffins, and English muffins require a darker setting.
BAKE Function: This function uses both top and bottom heating elements to bake food. Food can be arranged on the wire rack or in the baking pan. The temperature and timer are adjustable to the desired settings. Similar to other functions, for cook times less than 20 minutes, the timer needs to be engaged by turning it past the 20-minute mark first.
CONVECTION Function: This mode utilizes a built-in fan to circulate hot air within the oven chamber, ensuring more even and efficient heating. Both top and bottom heating elements operate. Convection cooking can shorten cooking times by approximately 30% compared to conventional baking, though this varies by food type. It is particularly beneficial for baked goods as the circulating air maintains consistent oven temperature. Food can be placed on the wire rack or in the baking pan.
BROIL Function: For broiling, food is placed on the baking pan, and the oven door is left slightly ajar (to the first notch) to ensure adequate airflow. Only the top heating elements operate in this mode. The temperature and timer are adjustable. Food should be turned over about halfway through the broiling time for even cooking.
WARM Function: This function is designed to warm and keep food warm after heating. Food can be placed on the wire rack, in the baking pan, or in the air fry basket. The function knob is set to BAKE, and the temperature control knob is set to the desired WARM temperature setting. The timer is then set to the desired duration.
