This Appliance Can Save You Time & Money in the Kitchen

By John Abrar

Let's face it, when you go hunting for kitchen appliances, the chances are you already know what appliances you want, just as you know that the ones you buy should be able to serve you well. Having said that, you may want to consider buying a toaster over because the number of things you can use it for is almost endless.

So what exactly is a toaster oven? Well, just as the name implies, a toaster oven is basically a combination of a toaster and an oven. Nowadays almost all toaster ovens such as the Cuisinart TOB-195 Convection Toaster Oven for example, can fulfill the role of both. On the other hand, the regular style of toaster oven lacks the toasting slots, while it's the new models which have a built in toaster feature on top. As a result, with the newer models one can use the toaster as you would any regular toaster, while at the same time being able to use the oven independently. Of course it goes without saying that the oven is the most important feature.

While some of these toaster ovens only have an oven feature, there are those which include the toaster feature but irrespective of which style you choose, the fact that they are small in size and designed for standing on a counter top, make them virtually an essential appliance in most kitchens.

When it comes to price you may find yourself a little concerned. While there are many extremely expensive toaster ovens out there, there are also ones that are great deals. Brand new ovens can range in price from one hundred dollars to three hundred dollars on average. If you really want to get fancy with your toaster oven purchase then there are models that are even more expensive then three hundred dollars. It is all about what you like and what you can afford.

One thing to consider when looking at the various models and styles out there is the warranty that comes with the toaster oven. While a particular oven could appear to be extremely nice, it is not worth it if you are going to spend all of that money on something that you are not protected by. Also, make sure that you are doing a little research from other consumers to see what their experiences were with the particular model you are looking at.

Ovens such as the Cuisinart TOB-175bc Toaster Oven Broiler have had rave reviews so keep ovens such as that in mind. The last thing you want to do is waste your money, especially since toaster ovens are not exactly a super cheap purchase.
