Baking in a Toaster Oven

May 7, 2010 - 9:03pm -- Gourmand2go

Hi all

After two frightening hydro bills, I decided that I needed to investigate more energy efficient methods for baking small items.  Typically I would heat up my full-sized conventional oven to bake a crust for cheesecake which would take 10-15 minutes after preheating for probably 15-20 minutes.  I still intend to use my large oven for bread, but I suspect many other things could be done more economically in a counter-top oven.

Countertop Toaster/Convection Oven Recommendations?

April 20, 2010 - 8:43pm -- lammie10

Hello! I have been thinking about getting a countertop oven so I can save some electricity since I only bake a little bit every time. I have been reading some threads on here, but still have some questions.

1. Are there differences between using a convection and a regular toaster oven to bake bread?

2. I am on a tight budget... Would the convection ovens priced around $40 or less do a decent job of bread baking?

Thanks!

Eva
