It took me a long time to get on the toaster oven air fryer train. I loved my toaster oven, but it was old and time to replace it. So, I decided to upgrade to Our Place’s Wonder Oven, which was actually six appliances in one. The little retro-looking machine showed me just how versatile these appliances can be, and I’ve been a fan ever since.
What You Should Know About Our Place’s Wonder Oven Pro
Dropped at the end of September, Our Place’s Wonder Oven Pro is the third — and most souped up — model in the brand’s Wonder Oven line. The pro is considerably bigger than the original version (more than double the capacity!), but it’s about the same size as the large, which is big enough to cook a frozen pizza or a whole chicken. So, what makes the pro stand apart from the large version are some of its features, starting with the display.
The two older models have three dials: one for cook time, one for function, and one for temperature. The pro has a single dial to help control cook time and temperature on its touch-screen display.
Like the standard and large Wonder Ovens, the pro can air fry, toast, reheat, bake, broil, or roast. It also has two more functionalities — proof and dehydrate — and an extended temperature range starting at 80°F and going up to 450°. (The other two models start at 200°F.) Plus, it includes a compatible air fryer basket, crumb tray, two wire racks, and baking pan.
The Wonder Oven Pro is available in five colors: Blue Salt, Char, Cream, Pistachio, and Stainless Steel. It currently retails for $325, though the Stainless Steel is slightly more expensive at $349. You can also preorder bundles of the Wonder Oven Pro and the Pro Chef’s Kit or Extra Pro Essentials Kit starting at $395.95.
My Honest Review of Our Place’s Wonder Oven Pro
Having tried — and loved — both of the other Wonder Ovens in the line, I had high hopes for the Wonder Oven Pro. And honestly, it exceeded my expectations. For one, I adore the touch-screen display. It’s such a seamless experience, and I like that I can be more precise with cook times and temperature (something that’s a little harder to do with the dials alone).
I also appreciate its size. It’s large enough that I could cook an entire dinner without ever having to turn to my actual oven, but not so big that my counter feels cramped. Plus, I chose the Pistachio color, and it looks stunning on my counter.
It does a phenomenal job toasting, air frying, roasting, and baking (which are the functions I use most). I start almost every day with a side of toast, which takes four minutes at 400°F. That gives me just enough time to cook some eggs and pour my favorite canned coffee. When the air fryer oven chimes, my toast comes out golden and ready for butter. The single chime is loud enough for me to hear without being obnoxiously loud or persistent — an issue I’ve had with other air fryer toaster ovens.
I’ve only had the Wonder Oven Pro for three weeks, and I already can’t get enough of it. As a home baker, I am beyond excited to try out its proofing function next. Catch me making all the homemade breads, cinnamon buns, and soft pretzels this fall!
