Toaster Oven?
-
I'm thinking about getting a toaster oven.
Never had one, so I'm ignorant.
I'd like it for making small frozen pizzas, frozen quiche, and most importantly, making toast. I don't need anything too fancy with lots of options, something that is minimally functional and, most importantly, can MAKE TOAST.
Any recommendations?

Funny you ask this, George. Our oven stopped working 2 days ago (just the oven, the stovetop is fine), so I went out and picked up this bad boy for 60 bucks. (Link below) If you want one that can fit a full pizza, there's a model that is for $120. Anyway, it works well, preheats faster than a normal oven, and so far has made tater tots, cinnamon rolls, and a lasagna...all turned out great. I use the "Turbo" (convection) mode, too.
Although this doesn't answer your key question of making TOAST. Maybe I'll try that tomorrow morning. Rye bread, obv.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Breville toaster. And Jolly is right. Had several, none of them do both well.

@Mik said in Toaster Oven?:
Use. Your. Oven.
That;s what it's for.
And it is an excellent toaster. Seriously. You can make four regular slices at a time of, if you are like us, very wide sourdough bread.
I never have the need to toast more than 4 slices of bread. Thickness is not a consideration.
Just thinking it might be more efficient to use something smaller.

We've had a Black & Decker, used mostly for toast, and bagels, for probably 20+ years.
So of course it's not exactly like a current model.
Something like this for $32

Annnd... Breville comes out on top for toaster ovens AND toasters.

I have a regular four slice toaster. Don't remember the brand.
I also have this:

I think I also want a nice toaster
Maybe I should open a new bank account or something. Didn’t they always give toasters at banks?

@George-K A report!
Toast fail. I'm sure it could work if I tried and tuned the process, but in general it took longer than a normal toaster and dried the (rye) bread out. Ugh. Trying to salvage it with Kerrygold butter and some jelly.
If you want good toast, get... a toaster.
