Toaster ovens bring serious power and turn any kitchen tool into a star. Using one saves time and makes every dollar count. Anyone who digs quick cooking tricks or wants tastier meals without big appliances will love this trick. See how toaster ovens fit smoothly into your cooking routine and why they earn the prime spot on your counter. Keep reading—you’ll be amazed at the magic these little ovens can do!

A toaster oven — unlike a microwave — uses heating coils, so if you’re not careful, it might turn into a fire hazard.

Two biggest questions I get are:

Can I put parchment paper in a toaster oven?

I strongly recommend against using parchment or wax paper.

Parchment paper is a fire hazard even in ovens, and more so with toaster ovens because the heating elements are closer to the food.

Instead, use a non-hazardous mat like a Silpat.

If you don’t want one, use aluminum foil (cautiously).

Can you put a glass dish in toaster oven? Can Pyrex go in a toaster oven?

Actually, the majority of manufacturers specifically prohibit the use of glassware — even Pyrex — because they explode.

Use stoneware or metal bakeware instead.

Hope this was helpful!
