Large toaster ovens were quick to gain popularity, but did you know that they have become one the most used kitchen appliances?
There are a number of reasons for that: many integrate convection for greater efficiency, plus improved functionality means increased versatility.
Ask any owner, and they’ll quickly point out that they are to quick to preheat, saving on electricity while not heating up the kitchen – much appreciated in the summer months!

Breville Toaster Ovens
Give Breville convection toaster ovens a chance, and you’ll find that there’s simply no turning back – based on personal experience over the last seven years (and counting) and a slew of raving reviews. Apart from sleek good looks, owners enjoy their versatility as well as easy temperature control and efficient heat distribution of both Breville Smart Ovens BOV845BSS and BOV800XL.
Our first model, the Breville Smart Oven Pro, stands out for its quality and durability. Extended cooking times, a new Slow Cook function and switchable interior light all contribute to its popularity. Put succinctly, it “looks small, but cooks big” and is deemed deserving of more than a mere five stars… The Breville 800XL on the other hand, once called “a workhorse” and praised for its versatility, accuracy and durability, is no longer quite as reliable.

Black and Decker Toaster Ovens

Oster Toaster Ovens
Although all models are appreciated for their versatility and easy-to-use digital controls.
While the last two models are the largest capacity countertop ovens here, our first model – the smallest of the bunch – stands out for its even heat distribution, temperature control and unique interior light control feature.
With regards to the following two extra large models however, there are complaints about heat distribution and temperature control. And though some owners really love their French Door oven, others report the doors allowing heat to escape or malfunctioning, as well as items requiring longer cooking times or needing to be rotated in order to avoid overcooking on the hotter side.
Buyer beware: just know that the ability to preheat is not built into these appliances. Instead, a two-step process is required: first, you must set a 7-minute timer to pre-heat, and only then can you set up the oven for what you really want it to do.
Common Features
*Convection
*Removable Crumb Tray
*Easy Clean interior walls

Macaroni and Cheese with Bread Crumbs / 3-Cheese & Truffle / Spicy Mac & Bacon Crumbs
