What exactly is a toaster oven used for?!
Answers: Now please don't think i'm stupid, i've never had one, I've always had a regular stove/oven and a microwave and everyone tells me toaster ovens are the bomb...what do i use it for if i've got a microwave and regular stove?
I use my toaster oven as my toaster, obviously, but I also use it to cook food. If it's something that would go soggy in a microwave, but heating up the oven would be a waste, I'll use my toaster oven for that. It's also my best friend in the summer when I want something warm, but do not want to heat up the kitchen using the oven. Mine is big enough to cook a nine inch pizza. I do have to flip over toast to get it even because it is that big, but that's a small price to pay. I love it, and would never live without one.
If you have a microwave and a stove there is no real need to have a toaster oven. But you could heat small things up quickly in a toaster oven and it would be like you took the time to make it in the oven rather than just throw it in the microwave.
A toaster oven is amazing! It's as fast as a microwave but with the flavor of an oven!
It doesn't take that long to heat up and its great for warming up toast or muffins. You can even bake small dishes w/o having to fire up the huge oven!
I think toaster ovens are the greatest thing ever invented!
It is smaller and more convient than an oven and microwaves dont really toast...they just heat up. So a toster oven is just a small mini oven
You put a slice of pizza in it.
Toaster over is just a small version of a regular oven. Uses less energy to heat up so if you are only cooking for 1 or 2 it comes in very handy. I'm actually in the market for a toaster oven myself. I'm thinking about the George Forman 8 in 1 toaster oven. Has a rotisserie and a bun warming tray!
(a) Conventional ovens
(b) Fan-forced (or convection) ovens
(c) Microwave Ovens
There are three primary types of home ovens... A toaster oven is usually a type of convection oven and is quite efficient.

If you have a toaster oven, you can get rid of your regular toaster forever. It's just a small oven, but it has two settings. One for toasting - and because you have a rack to toast on, you can fit anything - like bagels or crumpets or garlic bread etc. And then it has the regular oven settings so it works for reheating pizza, or cooking a small amount of things like chicken fingers, spring rolls, fish sticks........... I love it because I live alone, and it's great for just me, cause I don't have to turn on the big oven all the time.
you can toast things like sandwiches pizza, cook meat justa small stove
For toast, waffles or pop tarts
