I use my toaster oven for a lot of things - but not toast. I find the toaster does a better job. I have had several different makes of toaster oven and found it to be true for all of them. But they are great for cooking a piece of fish and finishing off a baked potato that was started in the microwave. I usually bake several pieces of chicken in the regular oven and freeze what I don't plan to use right away.
