As it comes with unique technology, this particular toaster oven is 85% faster in delivering delicious food. If you’re hungry, you can even go ahead and cook your food without waiting for the oven to preheat, just pop your food in and your oven will calibrate to cook it perfectly. It comes with seven cooking modes that you can choose from and additional features such as a slide-out crumb tray, timer and adjustable rack. We started with toast for breakfast and kept using the toaster for everything from baking biscuits to reheating leftovers. This model comes with the most basic accessories, including an oven rack, a baking pan, and a crumb tray.
To test each toaster’s power and ability to cook more substantial foods, I baked three pizza bites placed on a rack in different parts of the oven. This was to test how accurately each toaster melts cheese and another test of how evenly the cooking is spread out across the oven. The box recommends baking a frozen pizza at 425 degrees F for 18 minutes, so that’s what I did in each toaster oven.
Some toaster ovens (ones with convection technology, like our larger pick) can even work with air frying recipes, though that may require some adjustments. But if you’re looking to do a lot of air frying in your toaster oven, you may want to check out our separate guide to air fryer toaster ovens. Knowing the volume of what you’ll want to cook in an air fryer is just as important as the type of food itself. If you’re slinging standard grocery store frozen fries, you can generally manage with 4 to 6 quarts, as long as you give them a good shake halfway through cooking. For more finicky recipes like homemade air fryer chicken wings and hand-cut fries, the more surface area inside your air fryer, the better. If the air isn’t circulating while it’s cooking, you’re not going to get the crispy, consistent results you’re looking for.
Both sides received an even amount of browning without any colder or hotter spots. Our only real complaint is that if you fill the oven wall to wall with toast, which comes out to eight slices, the slices around the edges of the oven will have some colder spots where they touch the wall.

Black and Decker is in for some serious competition with this Cuisinart oven. There are heating components on the top and bottom of this toaster oven air fryer for a lightning-fast warm-up. A 12-inch pizza may be baked, burgers can be broiler grilled, black decker toaster oven and up to six slices of bread can be toasted. The June Oven is a smart countertop model with an internal camera, a built-in probe thermometer (which estimates when your food will be cooked through), and several pre-programmed cooking functions.
