"Why I'm marrying a $329 Toaster" would be a more appropriate title.
30 day toaster instead of 30 day fiancé
If I paid $329 for a toaster, it better be marriage material.
I thought this was a harsh comment.... and then I kept watching the video. Accurate, lol
@@gjfwang I bought one and I love it. I am wondering though, if we can reheat meals in it, cook salmon for instance or a french fries? If anyone knows please provide me advice. Thank you.
“Hi guys, it’s Inga and I’m not using this video as an excuse to get a $329 toaster as a work expense!”
I respect the hustle
No literally tho poor igna was toasting on a pan😂😂
@@gingerb2359 she could’ve bought a Walmart toaster for $20 though, this was *not* the only one on offer.
@@PoppyCorn144 like obviously but I’m not igna so idk why you’re telling me?
I think this is what you do to add the toaster as a deductible?
I feel like Inga is the only person who could rlly use this toaster to make the price worth it
That's what i was thinking lol..... I wouldn't have the time nor patience. I also have a large family so i dont think it would be very convenient.
She could have used a $20 toaster to do the same damn things. smh
@@patrickgrady7505 she was comparing pan toasting/toaster to the 300 dollar one and she said the 300 was a lot better.. a $20 toaster video wouldn’t be that interesting
@@mellomoiia2853 ah ofcourse. People especially half or maybe the majority of "social media influencers" do anything that lacks common sense for the views. Meanwhile smaller channels that actually give valuable information gets overlooked.
@@patrickgrady7505 its not that deep god damn
This is pretty much Worth It: Toasters but it’s just the last price point
You can place a tray with water under the toast or croisant you are toasting in a regular oven
This would be a great idea....worth it: compare kitchen appliances at three different price points!
There's actually one even more expensive from Mitsubishi 😂
Exactly
worth it: one stop
Inga: I really love bread.
Me: Me too!
Inga: So I bought a 300 dollar toaster.
Me:
@Ku Shu For butter* toasting experience 😎
@@manjushaiyer5763 for butter or wurst
It was right there in the title
@@GodofsomeWorld nice
can’t relate 🥲
Inga: "I ate a bit of the croissant and then saved it for the next day."
Me: "What insane self control, I buy a croissant and it's gone in 30 seconds."
Same, I can’t even get home with it
I buy several croissants and eat them all at once lmao
sis also ate a whole baugette in a day lol. ✨ balance ✨
😂😂😂😂yup that's very me
@@kimberlyrok I love my baguette with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar
Good old bakers technic: place a tray with water under the tray of bread or croisant you are toasting, water will evaporate hydrating the product while the heating coils are going to crisp the edges (might wanna flip in between if oven fan is unavailable), also might save you the 329dollar price
this was all I was thinking throughout the video. I mean, sure the practicality of this oven sounds awesome, but it is not that rare the water trick in the oven. or even just brush some water directly on the bread you're reheating (less effective but better than nothing)
Bells But the need for the oven to preheat is the thing that’s throwing me off. Cuz this toaster oven can have ur breakfast finished in 4 minutes. A conventional oven is going to take much longer.
@@crystalwang1532 but Inga said that that toaster oven also needs some preheating. sure it would be quicker, no doubt, but the main benefit mentioned in this video is not how much quicker it is, is the steam function. also, it's the price tag that is a bit ridiculous - I can start the day by turning on the grill of my oven, putting some water in the kettle for my coffee - while the coffee steeps, the boiling water goes with the bread in the oven 🤷🏻♀️ it's not too difficult. anyway, like I said, it's not exactly the point of our comment or the video. either way, in my opinion, there is nothing that justifies paying this price tag, and I did not see anything in the video I couldn't do in my regular oven. I love Inga and I watched it just for her, but this oven is ridiculous.
I was thinking the same. I have a small counter top oven like this one just not $329 and no steam or seal its just a glass door but maybe putting water in the ramekin and placing it on the bottom would be good.
@@crystalwang1532 U could buy a airfryer.
The only one who would taste the difference would be my wallet😅
Yeah, I’m it toasted a hole in your wallet.
Yeah a toaster that's above $50 would be pointless when a cheap one could do the same thing anyway.
I eat toast every day so I tried to order this from Amazon Japan. After a few weeks it still hadn't shipped so I ordered a Cuisinart Steam/Convection Toaster oven instead for about half the price! It is bigger, has more functions, and after some experimenting makes amazing toast (just like this one where it is crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle). It also has a large water tank for the steam modes and so there is no messing around with tiny cups or adding water every time I use it!
Did I really just put that Cuisinart Toaster on my amazon wishlist, because I'm seriously thinking about buying a 200€ Toaster?
Thanks for the tip!
The thing is discontinued, do you have an alternative by chance?
Not sure if im looking at the same one, but the Cuisinart Steam Oven thingy is also $329 Amazon
Hey, thanks for the tip!
November 26, 2021. Best Buy and Costco (Canada) has a Cuisinart steamer/toaster on sale for $216.
I seriously love her energy, i could have listened to her talking about bread for hours
Oh behave.
Same same
I see Inga truly loves bread and pastry, so I see no issue with her buying a 329$ toaster. I love seeing her so happy, just makes me happy 🥰
"it's expensive because normal toasters dry bread out, which is why this has an inbuilt steam function to prevent that!"
me, who has been spraying water on bread since birth: ._.
@@jaster030 wow fcking racist
@@0927kira bruh 💀😭
@@jaster030 I didn't say anything about being poor tho? I'm just saying the same effect can be achieved with a spritz bottle lol
Mukksa cuz most people won’t be trying to toast a whole loaf of uncut bread at once????
I've never even heard of that as a way to keep toast moist omg I just eat toast crispy and dry with lots of of butter and jam to make it not dry haha
me: "there's no way i'm going to watch all 20 minutes of this"
me 20 minutes later watching Inga say bye: "ope"
I usually just spray my sourdough bread with some water and toast it. Does the same thing as this as the fraction of the cost. Obviously there is some missed settings but now I can afford the rest of my meals for the month lol.
Inga is one of those people whom I can tell is nice just from her voice.
Omg this makes me want fresh toast so badly. I spend 8 hours this morning shaping two sourdough loaves…but have to wait until tomorrow to bake them. It’s killing me.
Hope you enjoy your toast
Having patients serves you sweet rewards! Tomorrow, you'll be able to have a great meal, enjoy yourself in advance! ; )
Update us when you have your toast.
Update it came out absolutely beautiful. Perfectly Toasted aswell. I got a great Oven Spring at 80% Hydration.
@@VinegarAndSaltedFries cool !!
This toaster can - Bring Bread Back To Life- said by another youtuber that talked about this toaster before 😂
Simon Stawski from eat your kimchi right :D
Its like when I reheat a whole loaf of bread, I spray it with a bit of water all over before putting it in an ordinary oven to reheat/toast. The water freshens it up and adds moisture at the same time, preventing the bread from drying out. No need to buy a pricey small kitchen gadget. But then to each his own.. 😊
For whole loaves of bread I literally run it under water for a second, seems crazy but I throw it in the oven or mini oven/toaster at normal baking settings and it comes out crisp and the interior soft like fresh bread haha
Inga there are times in life when yes one can live without a particular item, but it is not a crime to give the heart and mind what it wants for personal happiness. That's why each year the best birthday gift I receive is the one I give myself. So enjoy!
I like this, but it's also a little bit lol+eyeroll because other than the steam thing and the hip aesthetic, the features in this seem pretty lacking compared to high-end but cheaper toaster ovens.
The height thing made me laugh like you can't toast a bagel in it
Only thing going on my mind was how much did they pay her for this ad
@@cfilorvyls457 she specified it wasn't an ad.
i dont think Inga would lie about that, probably even ilegal lol
@@cfilorvyls457 You should watch the video next time.
@@Someone-fn3ij yep its illegal to not clarify that its an ad hence why ppl always say it
"because it was on sale" is my go to grocery shopping thing LOL
Did anyone else also felt that Inga would describe the toaster as CUTE
My parents have had a toaster oven since before I was born. I grew up with it and now at 21, everyone who has ever come to my house in all these years, considered about getting one
Living with my parents, we can toast bread for all of us at the same time, it is so much easier to clean, and it subs as a mini oven for when you’re reheat something bigger just for one. Totally worth it 💛
Every time I see the Balmuda toaster, I have flashbacks of the Simon And Martina video...
I miss Simon and Martina
I miss them a lot
@@Johncena-ue2mg why? What happened? I haven’t seen them recently
@@PersonWithStupid37 i think they have taken a break from their relationship and had moved back to canada but its mostly due to mental health and physical health. Martina is the only one right now filming on their channel so I'm hoping simon is okay and doing well
@@Johncena-ue2mg Oh. I wish them all the best. Their videos have been my source of happiness when I needed it back in 2010s.
Not only could inga make a whole episode on toast, but also make it interesting.
I didn’t know this was a thing but I kind of accomplish something similar to either keep the inside of my toast fluffy or to revive stale bread. I just run my hand under the faucet and flick my fingers to get droplets of water on the inside portion of the bread. If I’m reviving stale bread, I repeat that once or twice and focus on both the crust and the inside. This works in both toaster ovens and regular ovens, and I’m sure the same would work in a pan! Maybe try just throwing the water in the pan instead then? Idk I just started doing this after discovering the sear then steam method for dumplings!
I get a piece of paper towel damp with water not dripping wet tho and wrap that I wrap around my bread or carbs and microwave it
Is there a way to adjust the tray height such that the distance from the heat source (from top and bottom) is equal? I think that may solve a lot of the issues with the uneven crisp (without having to flip midway)..
That's just crazy, wow. Fantastic - i love how you dont try 3 things and say "this is the best" but you actually have used it in all possible ways basically.
Adding an oven-safe bowl of water to your oven will add steam and moisture
I just keep a spray bottle in my kitchen and spritz my bread when I throw it in my 20$ toaster and get this exact same effect. It works for pizza and all kinds of other things too, like reheating rice and stuff in the microwave.
I'll keep my super versatile spritzer. This toaster is way too small and expensive for what it can do. If a spritz bottle didn't exist or work just as well, I'd consider this toaster if it was half the price and double the size.
Similarly, I took the plunge and bought a Breville Smart Oven Air at the beginning of “all this craziness” and man.... I have gone WILD with it. It was also like $300+ and worth every gosh darned penny, but almost no one who doesn’t already have one will actually believe that. Glad you found your oven love, much like I have.
I love that cute little all clad pan!
I love my Balmuda toaster!! TIP FOR ANYONE WATCHING: After your toaster dings, let the bread sit for at least a minute for the PERFECT toast. Especially if you feel like your toasts aren’t “toasted enough”. Let them sit!!!
Air fryer and add a very thin layer of water at the bottom. Same effect. Shablam.
lovin' the t-shirt, Inga! fantastic piece of machinery we have here. love what it can do to fix stale baguettes!
I SAW INGA ON THE THUMBNAIL IN MY NOTIFICATIONS AND RAN TO WATCH THE VIDEO 😩💗🙌🏻 LOVE YOUUU!
I feel like the Airfryer/Toaster Oven combo has more options and is a lot less money. The steam feature is the only difference but I feel like you can put water in the toaster oven with the bread to have the same effect.
If you know what you're doing probably yea. But, I can see it being a bit tricky to get right without a lot of testing. (For all of these uses, at least. But yea, agreed generally.)
@@Cyrribrae Yea steaming manually would definitely be a bit of a trial and error thing. However the ability for it to be an Air Fryer / Oven / Convection Oven / Toaster / Broiler and more while being able to set time and temperature exactly and change the distance of the tray to the burner just seems like you have much more granular control. It is weird to me that you would pay so much and only be able to set a few different temperatures.
I guess they wanted to make things as simple as possible?
i'd be crying if i burnt that much precious bread
I am amazed at a 20-minute video on a toaster. LOVE IT!!!
with the fish: japanese kitchens usually come equipped with a fish grill that works similarly to this toaster oven! its small, you add some water in the bottom to create steam, and cooks fish beautifully :)
thinking about how high Inga's electricity bill will be for that month
Like, 50¢ more, if that.
I own both a Balmuda The Toaster as well as the Breville Air Fryer Pro ($399). While the "steam" technology on the Balmuda is real, for the price tag at $329, I would GLADLY give up that "steam" feature for the all in one perfection of my Breville Air Fryer Pro (which also has dehydration as well). I don't work for either companies I just love kitchen gadgets. Balmuda makes a solid product but it is definitely marked up in price for aesthetics (think Fellow and their coffee kettle/storage products (they are great products but are again marked up incredibly for their aesthetics)). I highly recommend any of you folks in the market for a counter top AIO (all-in-one) toaster oven, check out Breville's line of smart toaster ovens before pulling the trigger on the Balmuda.
And then just spray your bread or put in a tiny ramekin of water
Sounds like you a Breville employee for real
Thanks for trying this toaster out and letting us know your thoughts on it. I wish I could splurge on the toaster, but goodness I don't have any room in my kitchen for more stuff. Maybe someday I'll get it (and maybe they'll come out in a bigger model as well)
Coming soon: "24 Hours Cooking All my Meals in Toaster Oven"
Fish Out of Water episode
Me: Already knows about the toaster because I watched Simon and Martina's video about it
Me: Welp time to watch a video about it again because it's Inka
Interesting. I first heard about this toaster oven a few years ago on Simon and Martina's channel. It was nice to hear your perspective.
Inga really tempting me to buy a $329 toaster oven 😂
Balmuda should really sponsor her because damn was this convincing 😂😂
Wow! Inga put this toaster to much better use than I have in the past 5 years with the same toaster.... Thanks! I’ll try some of what you have done in the video!
just inga talking about bread and pastries, her most favorite food.
I’m so happy other people have discovered the Balmuda. I love mine.
Inga, get you the Cadillac toaster you deserve! First good quality appliance I got myself when I could afford it was super vacuum and it was just such a quality of life improvement.
Is really waiting for saturdays these days for A.T.E!!!💜 Thank you for these amazing contents!!
You just have given me the idea to experiment with a little water in my air-fryer which I got on a really good sale. I already toasted with it but maybe adding a little water will change things.
I watched Inga boasting about her toaster for 20 minutes and enjoyed every second of it.
When i use my toaster oven for toasting various stuff i usually end up spritzing some water on that food item or running my lap on just a tiny dribble of water and quickly passing it through, and then i toast it. You achieve a similar steam kind of method and it works relatively well as a quick "hack", i particularly recommend it for pizza and tortillas.
This is such a great video! I learned a lot. I love all your ideas and hope you share recipes and how-to toaster videos in the future. I’m excited to know it does fish well. That makes me wanna try it. I hesitate because it doesn’t hold much. Thanks for the great review!
This channel has the best food visuals
Thank you for the video. I've never heard of this Balmuda Toaster but for all the features at the $329 price tag, I think it is well worth it.
I've been looking at the Mitsubishi Electric bread oven TO-ST1-T at $448 that you would need a $75 transformer to run properly.
It is suppose make the ultimate toast, one slice at a time. I would b curious on how it would compare to the Balmuda The Toaster.
your pure love of bread is the most joyful thing i've seen in a long time =D
Amazing oven. Very thorough review, well done
I get a bit leery whenever toaster ovens have a bunch of settings without temperatures (e.g. the pizza, toast etc modes). Why not just have steam and temperature dials...?
As someone else said, it’d be interesting to compare price points with a 40$ Walmart/general store toaster oven, and the like super expensive $700 Anova precision oven
Isn't this just a toaster oven? Is seems to look an awful lot the one sitting on my counter that was about $40. It seems to work the same too.
We use ours to bake potatoes, do fries, and reheat almost anything... If you live alone or cook for two, it's a must-have but I can't for the life of me figure out why it's $250 more than, like, a toaster oven.
I feel like you can, just put in a tiny thing of water when toasting.
You can just use a spray bottle, & wet the bread before toasting.
I have done that with stale bread too.
I have the same toaster oven in Tokyo, and I can never go back to a regular toaster oven after! It's great and I also use it to cook stuff.
watching your videos are just super relaxing...like visual asmr
still amazed of the amount of bread and pastry that she consumes in 30 days
When Inga first pulled the bread out I was like bruh...my $10 toaster does a nicer job
Honestly, I hope they contacted you about a retroactive sponsorship and paid you for this incredible ad you made for them! I mean that sincerely. This oven sounds awesome and you did a great job explaining all of its different functions.
My mum’s hack was to sprinkle a few drops of water onto the tray before starting to toast any bread/buns/pizza/croissants/bagels... we’d achieve roughly the same effect (crisp outside, moist inside, though maybe not as ‘gourmet perfection’ as described) on our $40 toaster oven and have been doing this since we were kids! I’d even roast broccoli or salmon in the toaster oven for WFH meals for one...
I can feel the yeet hay in my mouth just from how many times Inga said 'crispy' in this video
Put a safe oven bowl filled with water while making your toast inside your cheap oven, and you will get the same results.
mine actually steams up without me doing anything. great for reheating bagels
If you heat up an entire proper oven every time you want to toast some bread, you'll spend more money in electricity alone than if you just bought a small expensive thing like this.
@@nicfab1 i meant my toaster oven. which cost $35 and came with a grill tray and pizza pan
Eating vicariously through this. Amazing range of foods.
Thank you for trying different foods. You’re the only review that I could find besides steaming bread
Inga really making us questioning ourselves if we need that 300 dollar toaster to change our life :/
Not at all. I can buy a much larger and more capable toaster oven for $100 less.
@@jase_allen example ?
Surely 90% of the effect here is just having a high-quality, powerful element that can heat up fast, and nothing to do with steam? Getting a crisp, toasty outside and fluffy inside is about having extremely high heat very quickly. The steam would only really be useful for heating through thicker products like pastries and thick cut bread or for defrosting.
SO helpful! Thank you.
My parents have a Balmuda toaster at home. Seeing you went crazy with experiment really inspired me to use it with chicken nuggets (and more). THANK YOU
When inga's vedio pop up in the phone I am immediately happy
ATE is the reason I am able to survive this quarantine thing . Anyone else ??
We're still in quarantine??? I don't go out anyway but woah
@@characterblub ig it depends from country to country, cause some countries still have quarantine going on, while some don't. So yeah maybe where the person lives there is quarantine.
@@characterblub In our country there is still quarantine because of the sudden increase in cases since March
Using a conventional or toaster oven, you can just spray some water into the oven midway into cooking to get a similar effect. Bakers use that trick to get their bread to spring up and rise in the oven. When you want revitalize leftover bread like baguettes, slightly wet the outer crust before reheating in the oven.
This channel has very quickly become my favourite food channel
Inga is like me when I first got my air fryer lmao. gotta test EVERYTHING!
Did I really just watch a girl talk about a toaster for 20 minutes? Yes
Am I really considering buying it? Also yes
i've dreamt about this toaster for nearly 3 years now, can't wait to get my hands on one
Although the video is almost 20 minutes long: it was just a Perfect rush! The pacing was awesome. Time flew by. Very decent, very authentic, very nice!😊🤝
"i toasted an oild baugette and a chocolate croissant on sandwich mode instead of pastry mode..."
"i dont know what I was thinking!"
"$329 Toaster"
*so my laptop?*
Very informative! Thanks Inga!
Its off topic but I love your voice and the way you speak. So polite and sweet. Keep it up👏🏻👏🏻
Inga, how much is the electric bill for that month 😂
Why do you want to get rich?
Me: There's a special toaster that waits for me.
Im definitely picking this little guy up! I have a larger steam oven and its amazing for bread and fish, but I would love something smaller like this
I was looking forward to the next video and as always, I'm not disappointed 😆😆
I thought this was gonna be the toaster that was touch screen THATS really expensive THATS like $400 well now it’s on sale now for 299.95
Seriously, how can Inga eat that much bread and stay so thin and cute? 10000% jealous!
well it's her job to make stuff. she probably doesn't finish or even eat all of it.
thanks for such the deep dive video!
that milk bread came out so beauuutiful
The real question is, how does it handle a poptart?
Now you can recreate the celebrity recipes for grilled cheese video without being criticized! Will you for real, Inga?
Really fancy ovens and professional ovens have a steaming option too for this exact reason. If you don't have 300$ lying around, here's how you can replicate it: wet your old baked goods slightly, for example with a spraying bottle or if it's really dry by swiping it under running water and let it absorb the moisture for a second. Then put it into your toaster, toaster oven or conventional oven. If you have an air fryer, it too can help revive stuff like baked goods and chicken nuggets. Put a splash of water in the bowl, put your food in the basket and turn the air fryer on. Now there's some experimentation needed to figure out how much water to use, how long to toast/fry etc. But you'll develop a feeling for it after a few times.
This is one of the best videos I have seen today
