I had a not-so-huge, 2 slice toaster oven back when the kids were
still kids. It toasted two slices of bread as quickly as a pop up
toaster and it could bake too so I loved it! One would wear out, I'd
fix it until they couldn't fix it anymore and buy a new one... until
GE sold their small appliance division to Black & Decker (which was
worse than cruddy). Fast forward a couple of decades - I think B&D
might make a decent two slice toaster oven *now*, but I am not in the
mind-set to buy one anymore. I don't care that I'm heating up a full
sized oven to make a baked potato - my oven doesn't add any heat to
the room. So it costs me a penny or two more in electricity. I don't
care.
