But the question you should be asking is, what can’t be cooked in a toaster oven? This particular gadget is surprisingly versatile. It can really come in handy when you’re making a complicated recipe that requires use of the oven for multiple ingredients. For example, if you need toasted nuts as a garnish, and thanksgiving dinner is in the oven, turn to the toaster oven!
This appliance also uses less energy than the regular oven, so it’s a great candidate to take on smaller jobs that involve roasting, toasting, or broiling.
