Hee hee, hope I did okay. I got a Euro Pro, it has convection
and rotisserie (what on earth you could fit in there to rotisserie,
I don't know). Seemed like the best for the money, plus I had a
coupon, it came to 64 bucks.

Thanks. nancy

Sounds like a really good deal. Let us know if the rotisserie function
actually works. If it were me I'd never clean the spatters off the
inside walls and sooner or later I'd probably have a fire ....

Meanwhile, other things that I use the toaster oven for that I wouldn't
fire up the big oven for (unless making large quantity):
finishing (i.e., making good skin) baked potatoes first cooked in
the microwave;
roasted garlic;
biscuits (refrigerator and real);
herbed potato wedges (zap taters first, then cut in wedges, drizzle
olive oil over, sprinkle with rosemary and thyme, salt and pepper, put
in hot oven to crisp up);
burritos (guilty pleasure for lunch)--thaw in micro, firm up
exterior in oven;
beets (rinse, wrap loosely in foil, bake, then peel and slice and
maybe finish in pan with butter and lemon juice);
small frozen pizza (SO guilty pleasure for lunch);
and, oh yes, English muffins. -aem
