Especially a gas oven.

I got a remanufactured cusinart 4 slice toaster, I love. Hamburger buns
also fit.

I turn on my little turbo toaster oven, pull out the basket, throw
precooked fries in, pull the basket out a few minutes later, empty into
plate. I got the only toaster oven made with basket. What a Handy product,
was sold by toastmaster.
