we use our toaster oven CONSTANTLY! with just the 2 of us it doesn't make sense to heat the whole oven- besides the big oven takes so long to warm up- the toaster oven- 5 minutes....it works great & i honestly don't know how we got along with out it in the past- for the last 6 years it has been our most used appliance...one of the best $59 purchases we've made.
