I didn't think about that!

So this might be environmentally friendly?

I reheat pizza in it (direct on the toasting rack) so I can get the cheese melted nice and crisp the crust. To me it often tastes better reheated this way than the original bake... and it improves the delivered/take out pizza this way.

I've also baked frozen biscuits in it. With just the 3 of us, it's a waste of the big oven for 6 biscuits for breakfast. I've also done chicken nuggets, fish sticks and frozen fries, with good success.
I'm amazed at what I apparently can cook in the toaster oven! I think I'm going to have to experiment with it quite a bit!
