For years I have been using a dual purpose microwave / toaster oven. It was a mediocre microwave and an adequate toaster oven. I am not a big fan of microwaves for cooking, but I do like how they heat up frozen food or leftovers. I decided to get the FlashXpress Toaster Oven to replace my microwave/toaster oven. WOW! It is so much better. You can program it to do everything the old device did ...and so much better. Food actually tastes like it has been cooked and not reheated. It even passed the ultimate test of cooking a frozen burrito crispy on the outside and hot on the inside like a pro. I love my FlashXpress Toaster Oven!
