Can you cook beef or chicken in a toaster oven?
I have a toaster oven, and I love using it... But, I want to cook beef or chicken with it. Does anyone have any recipes? Do I set it to broil? What temperature?
Answers:
You can cook beef and chicken in your toaster oven. Just make sure you preheat the toaster oven first. We retired and toured the United States and Canada for 18 months in our 25 foot 5th-wheel trailer before settling back down in the house we now have and we lived out of that toaster oven when we were hooked up to power. I baked cookies, fixed chicken, roast, anything. Just look at it like a mini oven and work with it. Mine had 2 racks in it. I took out one (the upper) and put the roast in foil, in it's little tray, on the rack. No oil problems. You obviously can't cook a chicken whole but you can cook it cut up. Can make oven-fried chicken in that toaster oven. In fact, if it's a very hot day, put your toaster oven on the back porch and put your baked potato and meatloaf in it and have something besides salad on a hot day without heating up your home. I'd cook the meat at 350o unless it's a steak - then I'd cook it at 400o about 10 minutes on each side and then turn on the broiler and crisp up the fat.
