    That was strangely interesting. I never thought the numbers on the dial/slider meant minutes, but I never thought to time it either.

    My toaster has a color range

    The colors do not match what comes out, ever

    My toaster oven has a digital timer. But I use it for everything, so an easily justifyable expense ($99 on sale). I use it instead of the big oven, and most times the microwave for the 3 of us.

    No... but maybe I always figured they were meaningless numbers, but then someone on the internet started spreading a rumor that the numbers meant minutes. Turns out they do not, except perhaps in high end models.

    Toaster ovens are highly underrated. So much better for reheating things than a microwave, and faster to heat up than an oven. I've got one but it stays in storage sadly as we just don't have the counter space

    Breville stuff is the best

    When our last inexpensive one died, we decided to splurge and go on the higher end, best money we've spent on an appliance, we rarely use the oven anymore.





    This thing is badass.

    I've got a cheap one that I use on occasion. Maybe I'll look into the Breville when the cheap one dies.

    Mine is a refurb Black and Decker convection. Large enough for a 12" pizza. Up on the island where space is limited I use it all the time. I'm going to get rid of my stove to make room for more storage and just have the toaster oven and a plug in countertop burner.

    Wait wait wait...opportunity to educate my American Heathen friends RBP and PONY.

    I happened to catch the elusive plug-in kettle you both seem so surprised to hear about.

    Note the cord, and kettle features

    Microwaving water for tea is a sin
