Hello! Recently, our toaster broke and we are thinking about getting a toaster oven. Do you have one that you recommend? Or don't recommend!

*Update: Thank for you all the help with the toaster ovens! Phillip ordered one from Amazon and I'll let you know how it works out.
I know some people love their toaster ovens, but we had one and were glad when it finally broke! It cooked unevenly. We went back to a toaster.

Kelli, my boys have toaster ovens and love them. I will ask what brand they have the next time I talk to them.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to see you back. I have missed your posts.
God bless.
I have one that my husband got me for Christmas a couple years back. It is a toaster/toaster oven combo. I love it and it serves a dual purpose thus taking up less space than two separate appliances.

I don't know much about toaster ovens but I do know I wouldn't want to be without my toaster. I love it too much. Good luck in your search for just the right one.
ReplyDeleteI miss my toaster oven. My last one caught on fire, and LBeau insisted that we replace it with a pop up toaster. However, there's just so much more you can do with a toaster oven.
ReplyDeleteI have a Sunbeam ( I think that is what it is. It is about 5 years old.) The inside comes out for cleaning. I don't use it regularly because of lack of space (tiny kitchen). It is about the size of a small microwave. I love how easy it is to clean.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli~
ReplyDeleteWhen our toaster died, youngest daughter got me a toaster over for Christmas. I really like it ~ especially for cooking for just the two of us. It takes up a lot of space on the counter but is does come in handy for that extra little something when the oven is full! It is a Black and Decker.
How neat that you are asking about this, my hubby got me a retro style Oster toaster oven a couple of years ago and I have used it here and there (to bake biscuits, chicken nuggets, etc.) until recently I went on a diet and we have started toasting sandwiches with cheddar cheese, turkey, sliced apples, and honey mustard, yum. Anyways we just love it and use it all the time now!!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have a Hamilton Beach from Walmart. It toasts 2 slices of bread and then it is also a toaster oven. Will brown 2 slices of bread, I luv it!
ReplyDeleteIt takes forever for us to make toast in our Euro-Pro,. But I love it for everything else.

I have a Euro Pro and love it. Was a gift. However, I have a 2 slice plain old pop toaster for regular toast.
ReplyDeleteWe have a KitchenAid toaster oven. It does not toast well, but I use it almost daily to bake small items such as a bag of french fries or chicken nuggets for the kids snacks and lunches. It's especially helpful during the hot summer months.
ReplyDeleteI read these interesting comments. I have a Black and Decker. It is my second one. The first I bought from a friend for about $15. We purchased an adapter so it goes up under the cabinet. I had one like it in a house we bought in PA. We cook biscuits in it every week. I also use it for rolls. Since there is just two of us, it seems silly to heat up the big oven for two pieces of bread.
ReplyDeleteI do still use my regular toaster. It cost $10 and I've had it at least 10 years. The reason I use it is because our prior toaster oven's toasting button broke. The one that makes it cut off when the toast is done. I got so used to using the toaster instead that when we got new one, I just kept on. I forgot about being able to toast poptarts in the oven until my daughter was over one day. She has recently bought a toaster oven and used the toasting cycle. Besides, on Saturday mornings, Honey Bear cooks biscuits in the toaster oven and toast in the toaster for me.
Years ago, I had a large one that was also a broiler. We used it in our cabin where there was no stove.
I wouldn't be without one.

I have a Hamilton Beach Toastation. It is a toaster oven, but also a regular toaster. The toaster slot is big enough for bagels. One appliance~two jobs!
ReplyDeleteGreetings! I have to add to two cents regarding toaster ovens. I just didn't like mine at all and ended up giving it to Goodwill. I'll take a regular pop up toaster over a toaster oven any day.
ReplyDeleteI love my toaster oven, I do toast in it but also love to re-heat things that need to have some crisp to them, like left-over fries....If something happened to mine, I would have to have another one...
ReplyDeleteI can't recommend a brand,(mine is Munsey, and not sure they still have this brand) i think is about what you want and how big...mine is rather small, but just right for the 2 of us..

I love one that mounts under the cabinet. It's a priority for us. The only complaint about the Black and Decker that we bought recently is that it has a dial for a timer with no clear markings on it so that our toast is always burning if we don't stand and watch it! Now that I think about it, I could probably make my own mark on the dial and solve the problem! So.....nevermind. LOL!
ReplyDeleteWe love our toaster oven! Actually we do not have a microwave and use the oven in place of it. Ours is an Oster that we got at Costco a couple years ago. THey still have them at our local Costco and they are reasonaly priced.
ReplyDeleteWhat I love most is that if I have a small batch of cookies or something to bake, I can throw it in there instead of warming up the whole huge oven.
No help from me...I don't like gadgets!
ReplyDeleteThe Sanyo, Digital Convection Toaster Oven, SK-VF7S is one of the smallest we could find, has a crumb tray, easy to clean. It's great for the kids to cook with, too. We found it new on ebay about two years ago and like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteI got up to look at our brand name and I didn't see one. But our model is old. Hubs had it before we were married and it's only big enough for 2 pieces of toast. Would be nice to have a bigger one. Good luck in your shopping!
ReplyDeletePS. I'm hosting a scrapbook supply giveaway if you, or anyone you know, would be interested in stopping by. :o)
