    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.

      @89th thanks!

      I will expect a toasty report tomorrow!

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

          @Mik yeah, but that's just a fancy toaster, isn't it?

          I wanna make pizza, etc.

            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

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

                      I also have this:

                        @George-K I have been using the ERO-2008SC since mid-2018. Check it out, I think it can do most of the things you say you want your toaster oven to do. Good luck.

                              Use the oven for pizza 🍕.

                              Get a nice toaster for toast 😋.

                                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. 🙂

                                          I can bring a lot more passion to kitchen stuff than politics.

                                          By the way, my emojis disappeared. What's up with that?
