BOCA RATON, Fla., May 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Calphalon, a leader in premium cookware, bakeware, cutlery and small kitchen appliances, introduces the Performance Cool Touch Countertop Oven to enhance countertop cooking for the at-home chef. The latest appliance from Calphalon is designed with an innovative exterior that stays up to 75% cooler (compared to our model 2101713) while cooking, for peace of mind in the kitchen.

While the outside is now cooler, the interior features advanced Quartz Heat Technology to deliver 40% more even heat (compared to a conventional tube heating element) for precise and consistent results. Countertop cooking is more efficient than ever with this new appliance, preheating faster than a range oven and allowing you to start cooking or baking at a moment's notice.

From baking to roasting to broiling, the Performance Cool Touch Countertop Oven delivers perfection in every serving with 12 different precision cooking functions (Toast, Bagel, Bake, Roast, Broil, Pizza, Cookies, Reheat, Dehydrate, Keep Warm, Defrost and Bread Proof). The unique step cook feature allows you to easily program back-to-back cooking functions at once, for customized results and unattended cooking convenience. Effortlessly achieve crispiness and texture, for example, when you program meat or fish to bake for 30 minutes, followed by broil for 5 minutes, without manually switching functions.

"Calphalon appliances continually adapt to the priorities of the home chef – offering the expert results expected from the Calphalon brand, while promoting safety during the cooking process," said Tim Anderson, Director of Brand Marketing, Cooking Appliances, Newell Brands. "We designed the outside of the oven to stay cool without sacrificing high-level heat on the inside, to deliver a high-performance oven that allows the whole family to safely join in the kitchen."

Among the countless recipes you can prepare, the oven is large enough to fit a 12" pizza, roast a chicken and includes a dehydrate function for fruit, jerky and more. A touchscreen interface and high-contrast LCD display give you exceptional control, while the sleek and modern design with a top to bottom glass door will make you proud to display the appliance on your countertop.

Additional features include an easy-to-clean nonstick interior, two rack positions for more precise cooking and an interior light allowing you to track cooking progress. Accessories include a baking pan, 12" pizza pan, dehydrate basket, wire rack and crumb tray.

The Calphalon Performance Cool Touch Countertop Oven is available starting at $299.99 at Calphalon.com and Amazon.com.
