Can I Put Parchment Paper or Glass in a Toaster Oven?

Toaster ovens pack a punch and make every kitchen gadget shine. They save time and stretch your dollars further. People who like fast cooking hacks or crave yummier meals without hauling out huge appliances find these gadgets a real game changer. Watch how toaster ovens slide right into your cooking flow and claim the best spot on your counter. Stick around—you won’t believe the wonders these tiny ovens pull off!

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!
