Toaster Ovens Buying Guide
The toaster oven
is a counter top electric oven that handles a variety of small tasks, such as toasting, limited baking, and cooking. They are the go-to appliance for crisp veggie burgers, mini-spring rolls, and other such frozen foods that get soggy in the microwave
. They also save space and money for small flats, bedsits, or dorm rooms that can't fit a full-size oven. Pick up a toaster oven of your own and see for yourself how convenient they really are.

Important Features
- A non-stick or porcelain interior makes for easier clean up, as do removable crumb trays.
- Broil feature (especially for hamburgers) and a warming compartment (if you like the warming drawer feature on regular ovens).
- Infra-red
for toasting and convection for roasting and baking.
- Thermostat.
- Timer with automatic shut-off (a nice safety feature).
- Self-cleaning function -- many models are self-cleaning, which means that the food particles inside will fall to the bottom and disintegrate over time.
Toaster or Oven?
- Toaster ovens are not meant as a replacement for the standard toaster or oven. It is too small to handle most proper baking tasks, such as making a sheet of biscuits. Further, it just doesn't compare at toasting. But what it can do is accommodate a variety of irregular shapes and other items that do not fit in, or would fall apart in, a toaster.
- If you find you have many minor baking needs or eat a lot of hot sandwiches, then an oven-toaster is an ideal solution.
- if you are primarily looking to toast bagels, bread slices, toaster pastries, and the like, you should choose a pop-up toaster
.
