I agree. I cook for two and it's much easier to use the convection
toaster oven than the range. Does great fish fillets and chicken breasts.

I made the Nantucket Cranberry Pie a little while ago. I'm going to keep
it in the fridge but about 20 minutes before dessert, I'm putting it in
the toaster convection oven to warm it up. I'll also make rolls ahead
of time and warm them in the toaster oven.

I will take out the turkey half an hour before dinner and put it on a
platter. I'll then use the electric roaster to keep the sweet potatoes
warm. There is a water pan in the roaster that makes it into a steam table.
