I've had very good luck with a baking stone for real dough in the oven for homemade pizza and bread loaves etc, but haven't had very good luck with it for frozen pizza - at least the cheap ones I eat when MrsNKEdel is working in the evening (is Tony's, Tombstone, Red Baron) it tends to crisp up better either on the uncovered rack or on a preheated "crisper" ( perforated disk shaped baking sheet. )

I love my toaster oven, use if for virtually everything.

I used ours to bake brownies today. They turned out just fine, and I think it took slightly less time to cook than in the main oven. :)

Toaster Oven Suggestion
 

I want to buy a toaster oven, but trying to decide what is the best option for me.

All I really want to do is toast uneven things - torn bread, large slices of bread that don't fit in a toaster - and broil things like cheese on toast and gratin soup, etc. Toaster ovens are either really small and look like they don't toast evenly, or re so huge and complicated that it seems easier to use the regular oven. I don't have a on of space and can't mount it under a cabinet. Any suggestions on a model?

I have a Cuisinart and it's a great appliance. I use it every day for bread pieces that don't fit in my Dualit toaster. It's also good for baking pizza pies and has a convection feature.

Avoid the BALMUDA.

What a joke.

Apparently it's huge in Japan and is starting to become something of a fad here, too. A friend of a friend recently bought one and was all giddy to show it off to friends. You would think that she had been granted the opportunity to be the first to buy some new Tesla model.

From what I could tell the damn thing struggled to properly toast a simple piece of wheat bread, despite the on-and-off cycling of the heating elements and the stupid water chamber adding moisture to the mix. The KitchenAid countertop dual convection toaster was $100 less and it actually works.

I have a Cuisinart toaster oven as well. It does a great job all around. Breville makes good toaster ovens as well but is overpriced imo.

We have a Panasonic Infrared. Have had it for maybe 6 years and it is still going strong. The best thing about it is that it heats instantly, no preheating required. I am impatient so it is prefect. Love it.

Yikes. I heard those cause cancer.



Just kidding.

😳 So that is what that appendage growing out of Mr. Fink’s shoulder is. Where were you six years ago?

I probably use my toaster oven everyday. No reason to have a regular toaster. I buy whatever is on sale at Target and they always last at least 5 years. Right now I have an Oster that was probably around $70...I have had it for years. I don't see an advantage in paying top dollar. I don't have a big space so whatever fits works for me.

If space is a concern, consider a toaster oven that flips away for storage.

Yeah, don't put it next to your wind turbine :rolleyes:

Get one with that has convection baking, you basically get an air fryer for free

We have the Brevelle, which is one of the larger toaster ovens. I'm waiting for it to conk out so I can replace it with the one that includes an air fryer setting.
