I am in favor of kitchen tools that offer me the most service in the least amount of space, and didn’t cost a fortune and also save energy. TOASTER OVENS fall into that category. Toasters have come a long way since that chrome 2-slicer I got as a wedding gift. Now, we have more toaster selection than this month’s crop of movie selections. Somehow word has leaked out to the makers of these hot numbers that we hate cleaning and that’s why they have provided us with a toaster oven with removable bottom rack. There is color choice: white, black and brushed chrome. They have made them high enough for a small chicken and wide enough for 8 cupcakes. They bake toast and broil. The only drawback to broiling is the sides may require more wiping down.

Whether you go for 4-slice size for 6-slice size, you enjoy them for baking yams, potato wedges or whole ones, small meatloafs, or fortified meat patties. They are small and cook food quickly. They come with timers and will shut themselves off. They come in many brands and models to suit every taste and kind of cook.

When I got bored with my old worn outdated old toaster model, I wandered down to my local Macys small electrics dept and examined the latest crop of toaster teasers. I was duly impressed as my choices were as varied as their price tags. Delongi toaster ovens begin at a sale price of $39 go to $99 with a 4 slice and 6 slice models. There were also models of Oster and Sunbeam in the same department. Nearly all of them came with removable bottom panels and handles on the sides. But the single Cusinart toaster model had the most appeal to me. It was a generous 14 wide inches and had plenty of depth. It was nearly big enough for many of your basic baking needs and features easy to clean inner sides. When you cut down my cleaning duties and give a product with quality construction, you have my attention and my reaching for my credit card. While they call them toaster oven, they are much more than a bread burner, they even motivate you
back to the kitchen which is a my primary goal of this website. Your local utility will appreciate your wise usage of the kilowatt hour.

Tell me of your uses and thoughts on this new improved tool for the kitchen.
