BALMUDA The Toaster Pro K05A-SE Black 100V

Product Description

The BALMUDA The Toaster Pro K05A-SE is a toaster oven finished in Black Copper. It carries over the features of the standard BALMUDA The Toaster K05A and adds a Salamander mode.

The toaster offers six operating modes: Toast, Cheese Toast, French Bread, Croissant, Classic, and Salamander. Classic mode has three temperature settings: 170°C / 200°C / 230°C.

Salamander Mode

A salamander is a professional kitchen appliance that applies high, direct heat to the surface of food to create browning or char marks while cooking quickly, so the surface browns without drying out the interior. BALMUDA's Salamander mode reproduces this by running only the upper heating element at full, continuous power, rather than cycling the heater on and off as Classic mode does. Japanese tech press reported at launch that this delivers up to 1.4 times the heat output of the standard (non-Pro) model. Salamander mode runs for 1 to 3 minutes per session; for longer finishing, BALMUDA recommends repeating 3-minute cycles while monitoring the food, rather than running it continuously.

Documented uses include finishing gratin dishes and shrimp gratin, caramelizing the sugar top of crème brûlée, browning toast or pizza, and searing fish. Any oven-safe dish can be used in Salamander mode; a gratin dish is not included but is available separately as an accessory.

Steam Technology

In Toast mode, adding 5cc of water before toasting produces steam inside the chamber. BALMUDA states that this steam layer toasts the crust while helping retain moisture inside the bread. This steam technology is shared across BALMUDA's Toaster lineup.
