One of the most useful of all the modern appliances has got to be the small toaster oven. With the high cost of electricity, it’s not smart to run the regular kitchen oven to bake a couple of potatoes. You’d probably use ten times the cost of the potatoes in electricity with which to cook them. Some of the new small toaster oven models come with a convection cooking feature, allowing for faster cooking and as a bonus, a moister piece of meat with less shrinkage. If you live alone, that doesn’t mean you can’t make up a batch of lasagna, cannelloni or enchiladas. You eat one portion tonight and wrap the remainder in individual portions for freezing. If you don’t already have a small toaster oven, then it’s clear you should.
