I just purchased the TOB-80 toaster oven. Can you wrap potatoes in foil and bake? Can you cover casserole dishes with foil and bake?

Yes you can wrap potatoes in foil and bake... I would recommend you to use butter or oil, just a little bit of one of them on the foil paper... If you cover casseroles you have to punch some holes (with a fork) in the last minutes of the cooking time.

Sandy W. I have done both, but have to place the rack so that it is lower in the oven, which means you need to watch the bottom of whatever you are cooking. If you are using a shallow baking dish that centers your food quite evenly, everything seems to work fine! Hope this helps!

Yes to both, provided the casserole dish fits in a 9" x 9" square. But don't bake your potatoes in foil. They taste so much better if you wash them, puncture the skin a couple of times with a fork, and bake without wrapping. If in a hurry, zap them in a microwave then bake for a crisp outside.

When cooking sweet potatoes at 450, I place the foil on the inside bottom of the pan (that comes with the oven) to catch the sticky juices that overflow from the potatoes. No problem and no messy clean up.

A bit late to answer your question, but here's a great tutorial for turning toaster oven into a reflow oven: https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/60

Nichole, the answer is yes. I've been using mine in both my large oven and in my toaster oven to great results! One thought on use though is that since small-ish things are hard to manipulate in and out of the oven when hot, I've been placing mine on baking sheets....even in the toaster oven. In doing so, if you want super-crisp pie crusts, then you need to bump up the temp just a little bit. However the draw-back here is that at high temps in the toaster oven the broiler element goes on (...at least in mine...) and you have to protect your top crust edges so they don't burn. All said....I love my little pie dishes! They are perfect for individual pies....easy enough for me to make little ones for holiday baking than big pies.....and no messy slicing!

I use a small toaster oven, enough for 2 shells. Use the recommend time and heat, and they were good.

The manual says don't line the bottom or walls with foil or let foil touch the heating coil or temperature probe. But you can cover a dish with foil and that kind of thing.

no, it is a toaster oven. but you can bake in the bottom and steam vegs or warm bread in the top at the same time. the rotisserie was fun, but not worth the effort. doesn't really get hot enough but very handy if you don't have an oven or if you don't want to heat up the kitchen.

We use our toaster oven all the time, and we have had no problem with burning -- unless I leave it in too long. Try experimenting with shorter baking times. Also, we use the convection baking all the time.

I use mine as an extra oven while the Turkey is cooking in the primary oven. I have made corn bread, biscuits, Monkey bread, Sweet Potato casserole and use it as a warming oven as well. The breads turn out beautifully.

Yes to the fries and pizza. Have not tried the crescent rolls though. Did bake popovers in the oven - they came out well. Key is to pre-heat the oven for a few minutes. Use care to not breathe in the smoke that comes off the hot Teflon surfaces. This little oven is great. Makes perfect fried eggs! You never have to turn them and risk broken yokes. I like this oven so much, I bought a 2nd one to put away in case my current oven stops working. Have also sent this oven to friends for birthday presents. Good luck with yours. Do not ever try to make oatmeal in it - what a mess! Have fun! Yes to the fries and pizza. Have not tried the crescent rolls though. Did bake popovers in the oven - they came out well.

I would NOT use this in a toaster oven. The inside of a toaster oven gets very hot. The Microwave Potato bag is a fabric bag, and I for one would never place a fabric item into a toaster oven.

Yes. You can broil, bake, or toast. For bake, there a temperature setting dial. The broil setting is at the upper (hot) end of the temperature dial. For the bake, broil, or toast time, you turn the timer setting to the number of minutes that you want. For toast, there are light, medium, or dark pictures of a slice of bread. These are basically just shorter amounts of time than the ten-minute setting. The toast settings are pretty accurate. I use the dark setting for rye bread, and medium setting for most other kinds of bread. I have had this toaster oven for several months. It is great. It has a very nice handle that stays cool and is sturdy. (Our last Hamilton Beach toaster still works, but the handle, that was only held on by 1 screw, broke.)

i guess the other way you can heat up your wrap is on low temperature,wrap in foil in oven....

I have never used a toaster oven but I use the Pizzazz for all my small baking and reheating. It gets hot quickly and cuts down on bake time somewhat.

I baked two potatoes and it took much less time - maybe twenty minutes. I know this oven is pricey but I've had mine now for a few months and love it. It makes absolutely perfect toast and wonderful cheese crisps. Food reheated tastes better and is much better for you than reheating in the microwave. I've owned many, many toaster ovens in my lifetime. None can come close to comparing with this one. I hope this helps.

I made two sweet potatoes, and it worked very well. You need to follow the directions. I am pleased with the toaster oven.

Hi,I am in seach of a good countertop oven to use mostly for the rotisserie feature and for meat, pork and not chicken - most reviews focus on baking and chicken. Would you have any specific suggestions or just features/ qualities that I need to look for? I take it that convection would be big deal here. I see a lot of complaints about how flimsy the applicances look and the external heating... Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

So much more versatile than a toaster oven. When U R doing Pizza on this U can add toppings as U R cooking it. As some toppings need more cook time than others. Don't get me wrong, a toaster oven has its use too, as a smaller oven. We have both and really enjoy our Pizzazz.
