    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Definitely worth it, they make amazing stuff. After going through 2 or 3 of the more budget friendly ones, it justifies buying a higher end one. And like I said, other than large things, you can cook just about anything in it that you do with your oven. And in less time too, because it doesn't take nearly as long to pre-heat as a full sized oven does.

    I was looking at the Breville ones, they by far have the highest ratings and reviews. Ended up with the B&D one because a friend bought it for me as a gift. So far I'm very happy with it even though I don't have anything to compare it to as it's my first one.

    I've got a Breville espresso machine with a built in grinder (870xl is the model I think). It's hands down the best appliance in the house.
