    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 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.

                              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.

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

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