The Toaster Oven Method of Cooking

Tips & Warnings
Most toaster ovens have timers that enable you to set foods to cook for a desired amount of time.
Toaster ovens come in freestanding countertop versions or mountable under-kitchen cabinets versions.
Use glass or metal cookware in ovens.
If food ignites, keep the oven door closed and unplug the toaster oven.
