In 1932, Bill O’Brien and Harry Norville mixed their last names together, and the Breville brand was created. They started off making radios, then mine detectors for the war. After World War II and the arrival of the television, they turned their attentions to small appliances and sold the radio business. After Bill had set up the Breville Research and Development center in the 1960s, the ideas just kept coming. In 1974, they invented the sandwich toaster. In 1977, they invented Australia’s first food processor, the Breville Kitchen Wizz. Breville’s Center of Design Excellence is in Botany in Sydney, Australia.

After a 75-year journey, which has seen changing lifestyles and technologies, Breville has grown to become an iconic Australian and global brand. Design and innovation have underpinned this success. From the Snack’n’Sandwich maker in 1974, to the Professional 800 Collection of today, Breville has provided inspiration to generations of customers.

Though Breville’s roots are in Australia, Breville-designed products are now sold in more than 30 countries around the world, including  Canada.

Microwave and grill times and power levels are automatically determined for optimum results.

The Buttons

The microwave is extremely easy to use thanks to the shortcut panel on the inside door. The one-touch auto buttons provide access to your favourite setting and commonly used tasks such as; melting chocolate, softening butter, baking a potato and toasting a sandwich. 30-second instant start and A Bit More and further simplicity to the ease of use. The intuitive inverter microwave that delivers the ultimate crisp.

Some one-touch settings work like a charm, like this pizza one. In went a boring freezer pizza and out came a hot, crispy, cheesy delight. Gone are the days of soggy microwave pizza. Tasting this, you’d swear it had been baked in the oven!

While other one-touch settings need a little adjusting, like this grilled cheese one. The cheese melted nicely, but the bread wasn’t really toasted. I believe it would simply be a matter of adjusting the grilling time.

I used to only cook minute rice in the microwave. That is until I tried the Quick Touch Crisp – Now minute rice is a thing of the past and I get to enjoy my basmati rice anytime I please. Cooked to perfection every single time, you’d swear this microwave had a tiny chef inside making your food.

With its sleek design and innovative features, The Breville Quick Touch Crisp is a great addition to any kitchen.
