Elite Gourmet ETO236 Personal Compact 2 Slice Countertop Toaster Oven with 15 Minute Timer & Adjustable Temperature, Bake, Broil, & Toast, Black

It's really compact and sleek, the heat level is perfect, the size maybe too small for many glass containers, bread, and etc. But it works really nice. I use if often for toast, food that is meant to be toasted. Somehow, even though the time is short, it toasts the content nicely.

This might be the smallest two-slice toaster oven for when counter space is very limited. With practice you can make warm, delicious cookies, cinnamon buns, croissants, etc. from those store-bought tubes and kits, make little pot pies and meals, or reheat food/pizza, and, yes, make good-enough toast. I suspect that many people who give this oven bad reviews really just need a bigger toaster oven. THE OVEN: The space from rack to top coil is about 2-1/2". It is possible to place the rack above and below the official slot. The top and bottom coils cycle on and off together to achieve the dial temperature. "Broil/Toast" is just the highest temperature at 450⁰, and still cycles on/off. Slide a layer of aluminum foil on the bottom for easier cleaning. Yes, the oven gets hot. But, the handle and knobs do not. I don't touch any cooker, except where appropriate. Be prepared for how you want to remove the hot food or tray. I use tongs. TOAST: The close single top and bottom coils make it hard to achieve toaster-like browning. You'll want to flip and also rotate the bread at the halfway time for more even browning. How pretty does your toast need to look? BAKING: Food is close to the top coil radiation, so keep a sheet of aluminum foil handy to place on top of certain foods to prevent over-browning. Maybe skip the foil at the beginning or near the end. Rotate the tray halfway for more even browning. With practice, you'll find the right time and temperature settings for each food. Fit a piece of reusable silicone baking pad in the tray to make non-stick and cleanup a lot easier. BAKING PAN TRICK: By inserting the rack below the official slot right on top of the bottom coil protector, I am able to fit in a full size 9x5 baking pan. I cut a piece of silicone baking pad in the pan for easy food removal and to prevent bottom burning. Caution: be careful since rising dough/batter can impact the upper coil. So far, I've made banana bread, French bread and lemon pound cake from those kits. Warm and delicious! If all this sounds like too much trouble, then you probably need a bigger toaster oven. I like coddling this little two-person toaster oven which fits on our window ledge, and makes just the right amount of freshly baked, warm goodies. I can imagine fancier features, but it seems that manufacturers don't want to risk investing expensive features in a very small oven. Good luck.

Almost big enough for a good size slice of pizza. Too shallow to toast a muffin unless you cut it in half and lay it down. Top does get hot so beware. Other than those features to note it is a GREAT product, heats well and versatile options, low noise and durable. Does ding when done. I wanted something hubby could reheat pizza slice but small enough to fit in cabinet.

My first impression was that this was a Fisher Price Toy that for little kids baking warmth, nope that’s actually larger !! Ok they aren’t kidding about the size being 2 slices of bread, SMALL BREAD !! This is good for a great laugh and not too much else. As the title states, my Sunday croissants caught on fire. The size would probably be ok IF the upper heating element had a shield to distribute the heat beyond ½” from the center burn line… basically whatever is in the middle will burn IF you want the Ends to be cooked at all. Definitely ruined my Sunday croissants!! The first thing my brother said when he saw it was: Is that a TEMU oven?? Yep, that’s exactly what it feels like. The problem is that at a glance it is shaped exactly the same shape as several other well known toaster ovens, who would even think that something this small would ever sell intentionally. As you can see, to get the ends cooked, the middle has to burn… This is probably the most useless $30 I have ever spent, the price should have told me every, but $30 is what almost all toaster ovens used to cost, plus the design and shape looks like dozens of different toaster ovens made over the past 40years… If you NEED a Toaster Oven, this is NOT IT, if however you need a good laugh every time you look at it, you just may want it…

This compact toaster oven fits nicely on the countertop and proved to be a reliable partner for my busy mornings. With a temperature range of 200-450°F, it did more than just toast— I warmed bacon, broiled open-faced sandwiches, and managed all with the 15-minute timer giving me peace of mind. On the flip side: because it’s designed for two slices, if you’re cooking for more than one or want to bake larger items, it can feel a bit cramped. It’s not made for big batches of pizza or multiple trays. But for single-person or light usage, the value is strong and it gets the job done.

Great size to take on trips. I use it in hotels that don't offer a microwave. Honestly, I've used it in my car while traveling. It did smoke/smell the first time I used it. Second time and going forward it has not. Perfect for my needs.

Está muy bonito, es un poco pequeño, pero funcional, y por lo mismo pequeño se ve muy simpático, yo lo uso solo para calentar pizza o pollo frito y funciona muy bien.

Es pequeño fácil de llevar a cualquier parte y muy efectivo y rápido para calentar o tostar.

Il prend très peu de place sur le comptoir de ma cuisine et il est aussi performant que ceux qui sont plus plus gros. Je l'adore.

Funciona bien, pero es muy pequeño el horno, al poner un mollete llega a la parte de arriba y ensucia el horno y no tiene charola para migajas

Love the size, it doesn't take up much counter space. Perfect for toasting and warming up food.
