Dirtyhip Posted November 6, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 6, 2020 My toaster oven seems to have not died. It had no power, and IS turning on now. I think we have had it since around 2004. I love my toaster oven <edit> It was the circuit or something. Not sure, I just plug things in and press buttons. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldendesign Posted November 6, 2020 Share #4 Posted November 6, 2020 We bought a new one a few years ago an Amazon choice special. It's been working hard, though the rotary control for the cook selector is getting a bit buggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted November 6, 2020 Share #8 Posted November 6, 2020 I had an electric Oster 16" wide toaster oven that held about everything I wanted to bake on two racks. The back is only about 13.5" deep at the edges and these an outward curve in the middle to handle 16" pizzas. I was real cheap at Walmart when I bought it a good while back. When I'm back in my house, I'll probably get one again - it's easier working with an oven on the counter than working in a low oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted November 6, 2020 Share #9 Posted November 6, 2020 Good thing you found out before you replaced it! I rarely toast bread but sometimes I’ll toast an English muffin and forget my wife unplugs the toaster oven when not in use. Such a downer when you turn the toast dial, wait several minutes, hear the telltale ding and your muffin is not toasted... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted November 6, 2020 Share #10 Posted November 6, 2020 I’ve never owned a toaster oven. I don’t see the point if there’s an oven sitting there. I have a toaster to make toast. The toaster ovens I have seen are dirty, crumb-filled counter hogs. There are those that love them, and those that don’t. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care for them either and we rarely use it. I’d just as well keep a toaster in the cabinet & pull it out when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an adult, I never got one, but when I am visiting my brother's or sister's place, they both STILL use the heck out of theirs. I'm definitely a regular toaster sort of person, but can't say I wouldn't use a toaster over - if I had it and wanted my counter cluttered.

Ralphie ★ Posted November 6, 2020 Share #16 Posted November 6, 2020 We have had an under cabinet one since 1986. Very convenient! But I miss the big old Black and Decker. My wife replaced it with a wimpy smaller new one. Sure, the old one was showing its age but it still worked, and it was bigger! Change is bad. Once or twice I hauled it oot to the patio to roast some peppers. That was fraT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, we have a toaster. It has four wide slots to make toast. I don’t need a toaster oven. If I want to broil something to melt the cheese on top. I will heat the whole oven. My money to burn. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing up, my parents never had one. My grandmothers did but we weren’t allowed to touch them. “Don’t fuck with that, get out of my kitchen” I think that’s where I get it from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a toaster to make toast. Ours is quite outfitted with settings; convection, broil, pizza, and even a rotisserie arm. Considering it takes it about 5 minutes to spin up to 400 rather than the 20+ to heat the full sized oven we use it as our de facto baking tool. Most of the child's dinners are 3 chicken nuggets, 3 fish sticks, or something alon those lines, it's easy to see why we use it as much as we do. Oh, and we make toast, rarely, if ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get @Razors Edge point in that ours got used fairly often when my son would make frozen taquitos or pizza bites. Now that he’s an adult and likes to cook he doesn’t eat that crap anymore and the toaster oven mostly just takes up space. I think they are much more valuable to kids & teens for their quick snacks than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead Posted November 6, 2020 Share #27 Posted November 6, 2020 Toaster belongs in the appliance cupboard. Take it out when needed. Counter tops should be clear of clutter. I am happiest when it is just the coffee pot and knife block on the countertops. I do like some lovely fresh cut flowers on the island. Einstein's crap does not belong on my kitchen counters--- the man hoards paper and whatnots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, we would drive you nuts! We have a drainboard next to the sink in the corner. Then, we have our six-bottle go-to wine rack (next corner), then the banana holder, then the coffee AND grinder (another corner) and then the jar of various cooking spoons, spatulas, whatnot, and then several recipe folders (final corner). And, a bowl of kosher salt. But we do keep the knife block tucked away in a cabinet and the toaster lives down with the other small appliances like the blender.
