First thing I bought when I got my own apartment 40 years ago was a toaster oven. I've never been without one since. Use it all the time. I've had several, usually they are only adequate for toasting but I've baked, broiled, and use it daily. Get one large enough to hold a 9" x 13" dish; that takes care of casseroles and cakes. The one I have now (Black & Decker, which took over GE) has a curved baking rack that will cook a 10" pizza. Check out several and get the one with features you'll use.
