What's the difference between a pop up slice toaster (I assume that's what you're talking about) versus a toaster oven?
I grew up with the first kind, but now only use the second kind to reduce clutter on my countertop. I never detected a difference in the two methods, but I'm also not very observant!
- burkaman 5y agoToaster oven should be a lot less efficient and slower because it's heating up a larger space, but the result should be the same.
- mattl 5y agoIt might be a cultural thing but a slice toaster is way more of a set and forget operation, which I like... also, a toaster gets based used for one thing and a toaster oven is used for a lot of other foods, and I have to worry about cross contamination.
- function_seven 5y agoOh that makes sense. I use mine 80% for toast and the remaining use is usually bread-adjacent things. If I was also using it to heat up chicken tikka masala or something, then that would probably not be good.
- jayd16 5y agoI can melt cheese over bread or bagel in a toaster oven.
- function_seven 5y agoYeah, that’s one thing I discovered when I stopped using a slice toaster. I can put a cold pat of butter on the bread about halfway through the toasting process, and avoid the trauma of trying to spread cold butter on the toast.
- DarylZero 5y agoThe hack is to turn the empty toaster on and lay the toast flat on top. Good way to reheat pizza w/o oven.
