I have never owned a toaster oven. I honestly never seen the need for one. When I received the Hamilton Beach Stainless Steel 4 slice Toaster Oven I was amazed at how many different types of foods can be cooked with it. So far I have used it for our morning toast or bagels and both have come out perfectly. We have also used to to make personal pizzas for our granddaughters that live with us and those cooked perfectly also. The heat dispersed evenly when it came to making the toast, bagels and pizzas. I find it amazing you can also use this to broil small items of food. I wish I would of remembered to take pics of what we cooked but we had a brand new baby born to the family and it’s been extremely hectic here. I absolutely love my Hamilton Beach toaster oven. It will be used constantly in this home. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
