I absolutely LOVE my toaster oven for things like roasted garlic. I hadn't
had a "mini" oven in over a year until this Christmas; hubby bought me one.
I can honestly say, we've used our "big" oven ONCE since we got the toaster
oven, and that was only to cook a ham. The toaster oven gets used every
day. The hubby never saw the need for a toaster oven until we got one. Now
we have hot ham and cheese baked bagels, warmed up leftover pizza, broiled
shrimp kababs, baked fish.......... you name it. It's endless. Get a
toaster oven. The lack of counterspace isn't worth worrying about compared
to what you can prepare in a toaster oven.
