A toaster oven is a small kitchen appliance that looks like a miniature oven. But instead of being powered by gas like regular ovens, it is powered by electricity.

A toaster oven can also serve as an alternative to a conventional oven. It's typically more energy-efficient, takes less time to heat up and cool down, and tends to create less heat in your kitchen. They can bake, broil, toast bagels with settings for keeping warm and reheating.
