portable toaster oven? Never heard of such a thing. We have one that
my husband insists needs to sit on the kitchen table so he can toast
his bread in the morning and reach in to grab it while he drinks his
coffee and eats his eggs. Otherwise, I like all of my appliances.
haven't met one that isn't useful at least some of the time!

Perhaps if you used it more frequently (are you cooking for one? It's
ideal for that) you wouldn't need the manual quite so often.
