I love my toaster oven. I think it’s the hottest thing around. It simplifies my life by making it possible to prepare a meal in less than hour. The toaster oven sits on my counter top in a very convenient location, and at the touch of a button heats to the desired temperature in minutes.
The toaster oven is very economical to use, because of its size the heating time is faster than the full oven, resulting in energy savings. And this short heating time saves me time, as I can start cooking the food sooner.
Toaster ovens are made with various options. The wattage level ranges from around 1200 watts to 1800 watts. The higher the wattage number the faster the toaster oven will heat, and may result in higher energy use. The 1200 watt toaster oven is sufficient to cook most foods.
Another option is the convection oven that includes a fan which circulates the heated air around your food for more even heating, this works well for certain foods but is not necessary to cook well. You may purchase toaster ovens that include the option to cook either way.
Some toaster ovens may include the rotisserie attachments. This is good for roasting meat such as a whole chicken.
You may purchase a toaster oven that includes slots on the top to be used as a traditional toaster. But the typical toaster oven is made with two heating elements, top and bottom. With the controls you can determine how they heat to make toast or cook various foods. You can even set the toast dial to your favorite shade. You can even set the toast dial to your favorite shade.
With your toaster oven you will be able to bake meat, casseroles and desserts such as cakes and pies.
Baked chicken is a healthy way to enjoy chicken without all the excess fat that results from frying. The toaster oven allows you to prepare a delicious and healthy meal, and saves you time and money.
Baked Chicken
• 1 family pack skinless chicken without bones
• Wheat germ
• Garlic salt
• Chives
• Non-stick cooking spray
Turn on your toaster oven to 350º Fahrenheit so it will be ready to bake after you have the chicken prepared. Run chicken under cold water to remove anything left by packaging. Pat dry completely and put onto the toaster oven tray. Spray with the cooking spray and roll the pieces of chicken in the wheat germ until evenly coated. Sprinkle next with garlic and chives evenly. Give another squirt of Pam just to coat the chicken a tad. Now toss into the toaster oven and bake until you can stick a fork into it and juices run clear. Usually about 35-40 min. Toss a salad to have with it and enjoy. You now have a meal for four people
Enjoy your toaster oven and your baked chicken!
