That was true of the two I owned. I had an oven. I could grill/broil
toast on a sheet pan under a regular oven broiler.

Some people will swear by them. I'm not one of them. If other people
find a food processor something they use every day, more power to them.

Okay. All I'm saying is before toaster ovens there were plenty of
people who knew how to grill/toast bread in ovens. Or under a regular
oven broiler. Without using a toaster oven. The OP quoted some TV
chefs who stated: "Toast is one of the hardest things to cook well."
That's pretty much BS. I think we can agree on that.
