Does it bake and toast? Yes. But.... 1) the print on the knobs is teeny tiny and very difficult to read for folks of a certain age. 2) it takes FOREVER for the elements to come on, making TOASTING annoyingly slow.  3) baking is uneven. Pizzas come out just right in front and a little overdone in back. You have to babysit your pies and rotate them to avoid this.
