Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
Two years ago I purchased the Breville 650 based on all the amazing recommendations from all of you. I use it every day And I LOVE it.
There is a new model with a slow cooking function and I was wondering if anyone had it? Do you like the slow cooker function? I would love to get rid of my slow cooker like I did my toaster.

Do you have a link to it? I'm looking for a multi-cook option myself. We have a gas stove and have been talking about getting some induction cook tops to use instead.
I also plan on doing a lot of one dish dinners and a slow cooker would be awesome.

We love our slow cooker (crockpot) but you may want to look at the new Pressure Cookers that double as a slow cooker. I think that will be our next move.
If you do a search on this forum for Breville you will find some great reviews. It is so much more than a toaster oven, it is a mini oven. I love mine. It makes perfect toast and a great broiled steak plus everything in between. My DH hates propane so we removed our propane oven and replaced it with a Induction cooktop. No regrets! We do also have a micro/convection but I do not like the convection as it heats up the RV so much.
Even in our S & B we used the Breville instead of a full sized oven because it is the perfect size for a 2 person household.
Here is the Breville link. www.brevilleusa.com/cooking/ovens.html

The model we have is the Model 650 and it has settings for Roasting, Broiling, Baking, Toast plus presets for Bagels, Pizza, Cookies and a reheat. Baking temp goes up to 450 degrees and Broil on high is around 500 degrees.
I have made so many different food items over the last two years in mine. It has amazing reviews. I consider it one of my most valued items in the RV.
The new model which is Model 845 also has a interior light and slow cook option for up to 10 hours.
If I could get rid of my slow cooker like I have done with my toaster that would be great. I just wanted to know what pan I should use for the slow cooker mode.

I am going to order my new one in a few days. I am sure I will love it as much as the model I have. I will put mine for sale on here once I get the new one.
If you are looking for great cookware try the Magma brand. They make induction cookware and the 10 piece set fits in approximately 12" X 12" space. Perfect for RVers.

Amen on that one…we use ours not daily but probably 5 times a week. The only trouble is that ours is 4.5 years old now and the bearings in the cheapey fan are bad…so it only turns about 200 rpm and makes a god-awful racket. My solution so far was to just not use the convection part…but now that I see there's a model that slow cooks I might have to get one.
We will be passing through our son/DIL's area in mid May so would be able to get a new one shipped there…since you're ordering one please slow cook something and put in a follow up post on how it cooks compared to a standard crockpot. My guess is that if it's a low temp cooking then putting stuff in there in a covered dish will be exactly like a normal crockpot…but since you're getting one anyways you can just do a little 'speriment for the rest of us.

I will be more than happy too experiment and let you know. My current Breville does not have the convection oven as we have one in the RV. I am not a big fan of convection as they heat up the RV. I am excited to try the Breville convection and see if it is better.

For baking rolls, cake or anything that has a crust the convection makes it brown more evenly and doesn't really seem to heat up the kitchen any more…it's just an internal fan to spread the heat around. For cooking a roast or something that you're not worried about browning evenly…having the convection on or off doesn't really make much difference.
I received the new Breville Pro and I am loving it. I used the slow cook function yesterday on low and it worked wonderfully. I used my magma pan (I need to get a better pan) put foil over it and then the lid. The BBQ chicken was moist and very tasty. If you need a new Breville and like slow cooking it is a winner.
