I haven’t had a toaster or toaster oven in YEARS. I have an in wall gas oven and utilities other than TV/internet included in my condo fee. I just toast things under the broiler. Done!
I think I will have both and plug them into the Monster power strip, because I know it was built to handle 30 amps. Maybe insurance will pay for a new house
I’m living this situation right now. Kitchen being remodeled (supposed to be finished today!) and have had no kitchen for the past month but have a microwave in the LR at the moment. Thought I was missing my toaster oven but really found out the microwave is much more convenient now if you actually want to eat more food without having to take stuff out of containers and then put them in another pan that can go in the toaster oven and not have more dishes to wash when you don’t have anywhere to wash them. (this is also an experiment in long run on sentences)
I lived with neither for about six years, then I got married. Pizza reheats awesome in a cast iron pan, and anything else doesn’t deserve to be left over.
My method to reheat leftover pizza slices: Turn on the oven (mine comes on set to 350, but it really doesn’t matter). While the oven is heating, put the pizza in the microwave and nuke it for ~30 seconds (this removes the refrigerator chill and preheats the cheese). Next put the pizza directly on the lower oven rack over the element for about 4-6 minutes until the crust is toasty and the cheese is melty.
@tinamarie1974 That was my take. I would argue that between the two, a toaster oven is “better” than a microwave. But if I could only have one or the other, I would choose the microwave because its benefits can’t be replicated with an oven.
I don’t own a toaster oven. My kitchen is too small already. I use my toaster to make toast, and my oven for everything else. I lived without a microwave for a month. It was annoying, but it wasn’t the end of the world.
When my toaster had broken, I toasted bread under the broiler. Once again, annoying, but not the end of everything.
I’d get a lil Breville convection toaster oven, which does the same stuff as an air fryer, just at a larger capacity with more versatility. Microwaves are great for reheating soups and things, but I can do that fairly quickly with my induction cooktop. While I’ll happily wait the extra couple of minutes on the stovetop for liquid reheats, for whatever reason, oven preheats absolutely test my patience when I know my toaster oven needs none.

I make the greater of my nourishment starting with outside help, so I don’t generally utilize either regularly.
I will, be that as it may, battle you for my Crock-Pot!
Where the fuck do I store my batteries?!?!?!?!?

@narfcake So, uh, yeah…

They make convection grilling microwaves, so there’s no compromising!
@narfcake I was headed the opposite direction, an air fryer toaster oven.
@blaineg @narfcake I was going to say air fryer. They’re the unsung heroes of the reheating arts.
Have you cooked bacon in an air fryer?
10/10 toaster oven>microwave, I don’t understand the dispute. Like, what is better microwaved than toaster ovened?
microwave popcorn is trash btw, don’t even come at me with that
@gardenald You can boil water in a microwave, thus opening up many other possibilities…
@gardenald @shahnm like boiled popcorn
@shahnm a microwave does more things poorly than a toaster oven does well
@gardenald But toaster oven popcorn OTOH is a flammability hazard…
Hard to toast water
@internaut And a toast to hard water!
@internaut get an electric kettle.
I like the smell of charred bread in the morning, and the sound of sizzling melted fat.
Microwave, A toaster oven takes too long to heat a cup of coffee.

@2many2no You know that the circuit breaker is going to pop first, right?
@narfcake I figured that a fireproof Monster power strip would burst into flames faster than the breaker could trip.

@macromeh I also preheat pizza in the microwave but then finish heating it in a frying pan. Crisps up the crust nicely.
I just use my oven to toast things. Works great and no extra appliance on my counter.

Oh for God’s sake. Just run an extension cord to the neighbor’s house like everybody else does.
The fun doesn’t start until the fire dept shows up.

I haven’t used a toaster oven or microwave in nearly 2 years since getting my air fryer. Although I don’t eat toast.

I make most of my food from scratch, so I don’t really use either very often.

Popped there, socket’d that.
