What do you think about toaster ovens?!
Answers:
I'm indifferent towards themWww@FoodAQ@Com
My husband and I have decided to buy one because we feel that it will use less electricity than a full size oven when we only want to heat up something small!. One thing we have found while looking and comparing them, is that they are really different than they used to be!. We want one want one that will hold at least a 12" pizza!. Figured if we are going to buy one, may well make sure we are getting our moneys worth!. They have some nice ones that are really functional!. Not at all like those tiny things people used to buy!. Though you can still find them that small!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I love mine! I don't even have a traditional toaster, b/c that's ALL you can use it for! Whereas a toaster oven lets you make toast, or reheat foods, or even bake small items!. It's very nice to melt cheese on bread or buns and to toast them at the same time, w/o having to heat up the big oven!. And of course you can't make cheese toast in a traditional toaster!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I live alone and I find it very convenient!. I prefer using it for just one baked potato or one frozen dinner or one slice of pizza!.!.!.!.prevents heating the whole kitchen up with the oven and saves on my natural gas bill!. Make sure you get a good one, though, not those cheap $20 ones!.!.!.!.they are not really ovens, just toasters!.!.!.I know from experience!. I like the results from an oven much better than a microwave!.

Anything that saves energy is a good thing!.
Try a halogen fan oven, it sits on worktop costs about a third to use as main oven!. Will cook very quickly,I do whole sunday roast including veggies in it!. glass body has self clean function (just put a little soapy water in & run few minutes!.)
I have had one for many years now and never use my main oven any more, I just store pans in it!.

I never thought I wanted one!.I bought a bunch of open box applances on ebay for about nothing and there was one in there!. if I just want to make something frozen for lunch like some fish or a small pizza why heat up the whole oven for that!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
For a single person, maybe!. I never had much use for them, but I just had to have one!. After buying it, nothing fit!. I am just too used to a regular oven!. Don't make the same mistake that I did--"Sure looks pretty on the counter" !.Www@FoodAQ@Com
They're nice to have in the summertime for when you don't want to turn on your oven!. If you get one, try to get a larger one so you can get more in there (and will likely use it more often)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I love toaster ovens!. I feel they are the perfect size for one or two people that way you don't have to heat up the oven for something small!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I like them they are great if you are traveling and want to cook in your hotel room!! Or a dorm room, but I also use them at home!.
