    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.

                          What Mik said.

                          Use the oven for pizza 🍕.

                          Get a nice toaster for toast 😋.

                          This thread is highly amusing.

                            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. 🙂

                                        Now @George-K , if you were looking to make croutons, the toaster oven works well! Especially rye bread croutons. 😛
