How toaster ovens work
Toaster ovens have fast warm-up infrared heating elements at the top and bottom of the oven cavity and have one or two wire racks. Models are available with convection heat or radiant heat. With convection heat a fan continually forces the heated air to move around, promoting more even toasting. Radiant heat relies on natural air currents to heat the food.
The placement of heating elements at both the top and bottom promote even toasting on both side of the food item.
Toaster oven uses
Toaster ovens’ practicality extends beyond toasting slices of bread and bagels. They are quite effective for melting cheese, toasting sandwiches, warming and reheating. Usage of a toaster oven frees the kitchen’s main oven for other uses and also requires 50% less energy.
