Countertop Mini Oven
Generic
A countertop mini oven or toaster oven, the standard baking appliance in Japan, Korea, small apartments and student kitchens. It preheats fast and costs little to run, but the chamber is roughly 30 cm and the elements sit close to the food. That proximity is what you have to work with: the top colours long before the middle is set, so bake smaller and lower than a recipe written for a full-size oven, and shield the top with foil once it has the colour you want.
Specifications
Pros
- Preheats in about 15 minutes and uses a fraction of the power
- Ideal for one pizza, a few rolls or a small focaccia
- Cheap, and it does not heat the whole kitchen in summer
Cons
- The element is close to the crust, so the top burns while the centre lags
- About 30 cm of usable space, so no tin loaf and no large pizza
- Thin walls lose heat the moment the door opens
- Specs here are typical values, not your specific oven
