From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
toaster is typically a small electric kitchen appliance designed to toast multiple types of bread products. A typical modern two-slice toaster draws from 600 to 1200 watts
and makes toast in 1 to 3 minutes. There are also non-electrical
toasters that can be used to toast bread products over an open fire or
flame.
Toaster ovens
Toaster ovens are small electric ovens with a front door, wire rack
and removable baking pan. To toast bread with a toaster oven, slices of
bread are placed horizontally on the rack. When the toast is done, the
toaster turns off, but in most cases the door must be opened manually.
Most toaster ovens are significantly larger than toasters, but are
capable of performing most of the functions of electric ovens, albeit on
a much smaller scale. They can be used to cook toast with toppings,
like garlic bread or cheese, though they tend to produce drier toast and
require longer operating times, since their heating elements are
located farther from the toast (to allow larger items to be cooked).
They may also heat less evenly than either toasters or larger electric
ovens, and some glass cookware cannot be used in them.
