    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 πŸ•.

                        Get a nice toaster for toast πŸ˜‹.

                        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. πŸ™‚
