Or cooking deviled pork chops, curried chicken, or roast salmon? These may seem like wild ideas, but they’re not. Your toaster oven is capable of so much more than you think! Introducing [Toaster Oven Perfection]( our latest equipment-based cookbook packed with the recipes, resources, and inspiration you need to get the most out of your toaster oven. These appliances have come a long way since they first hit the market, with new models featuring air-fry and convection technology, among other capabilities. Don’t know the difference between the settings? We cover all the popular toaster oven functions (bake, roast, broil, warm, toast, etc.), so you’ll know how to achieve the best results for any recipe. Toaster ovens are great appliances for shaking up your cooking routine, and they offer some noteworthy perks such as their quick preheating and easy maintenance. Simply throw the racks, crumb trays, and pans in your dishwasher, and you’re good to go. You could even skip the dishwasher and line your pans with aluminum foil. During our testing, we made some surprising discoveries that deepened our appreciation for these appliances, such as their nifty ability to turn breakfast into an event. We love good old-fashioned toast, but our recipes for Breakfast Pizza and Individual Overnight Omelets are game changers. And despite what you may think about their compact size, toaster ovens are perfect for entertaining. We prepared Baked Crostini with Onion Jam and Brie (serves 4–6) and Buffalo Chicken Dip (serves 6–8). Don’t even get me started on our Herbed Roast Beef and Simple Manicotti. Imagine making Savory Bread Pudding with Turkey Sausage and Kale with virtually no cleanup. Amazing. Whether you already own a toaster oven or are looking to buy one, our comprehensive approach to toaster oven cooking sets you up for success. We share the full results of our toaster oven equipment tests and provide ingenious tips and tricks to increase your efficiency in the kitchen. It’s about time toaster ovens enjoyed the limelight.

[ORDER NOW]( [SPECIAL OFFER. Add The Complete Cooking for Two Cookbook for Just $12]( Become a Toaster Oven Believer. We developed the recipes in [Toaster Oven Perfection]( to give home cooks inspiration for everyday cooking. With recent advancements in the capabilities of toaster ovens, we made sure to include recipes that span the entire spectrum of settings so that you can experiment and branch out beyond the common toaster oven cooking functions. To make preparing meals even easier, you’ll find that the majority of recipes rely on a single vessel and that some ingredients can be cooked at the same time. More than half of the recipes can be prepared in an hour or less! You’ll have your pick of plenty of 30 to 45 minute meals. If a recipe features a no-cook side, we've organized the steps so that you’ll have time to prepare it while your main course cooks. [Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs with Sweet Potato Salad for Two.]( We recommend that you take your toaster oven’s interior measurements. Some recipes require more space or call for equipment that may not fit your unit. In our testing, we favored ovens that were 13 by 11 inches, which is a common household size. Whether you’re cooking for a few or entertaining a small group, you’ll find the recipes, tips, and tricks you’ll need to create satisfying meals. Toaster Oven Recipe Reboot [Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs with Sweet Potato Salad for Two.]( Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs with Sweet Potato Salad For Two Serves 2 Total Time 1 Hour This easy-to-prepare weeknight recipe features tender baked chicken coated in a flavorful mustard glaze served with a simple salad of arugula, sweet potatoes, and fennel. We nixed a store-bought sauce and prepared our own instead to achieve a brighter, more complex flavor. For the sauce, we whisked together honey, soy sauce, mustard, and cornstarch. We coated the chicken in the glaze before and after cooking to ensure that it retained the tangy, sweet flavor. Cooking the sweet potatoes with the chicken eliminated the need for us to stagger cooking times. Know Your Functions Broil We used the broiler function near the end of our cooking time to get a nice char on the chicken. Like traditional ovens, the broiler heating element is located at the top of the toaster oven. We prefer to use the high setting in our recipes. This function is perfect for melting cheese or browning the top of foods. All the secrets to toaster oven cooking & baking. [ORDER NOW]( [Sausage Lasagna with Spinach and Mushrooms.]( Sausage Lasagna with Spinach and Mushrooms Serves 4 Total Time 1½ hours To streamline the preparation for this comfort food classic, we used cottage cheese and jarred marinara instead of making our own béchamel. By microwaving the ingredients for the filling (sweet Italian sausage, mushrooms, and spinach), we were able to further speed up the prep time and get to layering the ingredients. We assembled our lasagna by spreading the marinara sauce as the base and then layering on the cottage cheese mixture, sausage, and some mozzarella. Find out our top-rated equipment picks for small casserole dishes, baking pans, and more in the book! Make-Ahead Once assembled, the lasagna can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Rack Placement To ensure even cooking for this recipe, make sure to place your casserole dish as close to the middle of your toaster oven as possible. In a two-placement toaster oven, this will most likely be the lower rack. [Coffee-and-fennel-rubbed boneless short ribs with celery root salad.]( Coffee-and-Fennel-Rubbed Boneless Short Ribs with Celery Root Salad Serves 2 Total Time 35 Minutes It may be hard to believe, but you can make this impressive meal in a little less than 40 minutes. Short ribs are typically braised for an extended period of time, but we discovered that you can still achieve great results by roasting them. For our rub, we mixed fennel, coffee, sugar, and other spices and brushed the meat in oil before applying our blend. We cooked the celery root with the meat to make it a complete meal. For a fresh burst of flavor, we sprinkled the cooked meat with sweet pomegranate seeds and parsley. Know Your Functions Bake/Roast The default setting for most of the recipes in this book is the bake/roast setting. This function works just like your regular oven. The heating element is located at the bottom of the unit, and the top element operates at a reduced wattage. It’s time to take your toaster oven seriously. [ORDER NOW]( [Ham and Cheese Palmiers.]( Ham and Cheese Palmiers Serves 30 Total Time 1 hour (15 minutes from frozen), plus 1 hour refrigerating For our version of this French-inspired appetizer, we turned to store-bought puff pastry (a test kitchen staple). To assemble the log, we rolled out the puff pastry and brushed it with mustard, fresh herbs, and Parmesan cheese, and then we placed the ham slices on top. We refrigerated the log for about an hour to ensure that the slices would stay intact when it was time to cut the log into individual pieces. Make-Ahead Uncooked palmiers can be frozen for about a month. Know Your Functions Air-Fry We used the air-fry function to achieve flaky thin and crispy edges for the puff pastry. The air-fry function operates similarly to the convection setting (a fan circulates hot hair throughout the unit and evaporates moisture), but we found that the air-fry function produced crispier results. [New York Style-Crumb Cake.]( New York–Style Crumb Cake Serves 8-10 Total Time 1½ Hours Proof that your toaster oven really can do it all, this recipe makes for the perfect brunch treat or dessert. We used cake flour instead of all-purpose flour for our topping to achieve a softer texture that was more like cookie crumbs. And for the cake, we used what we learned from our yellow cake recipe to create a subtle yet rich buttery flavor. (Decreasing the amount of butter was the trick!) Make-Ahead You can prepare this recipe a day ahead and bake it when you’re ready. Using a foil sling We lined our baking sheet with aluminum foil by laying two long sheets perpendicular to each other across the bottom of the pan. Having the extra foil lay over the sides made it supereasy to remove the cake from the pan. We’ve noted this step throughout some of the recipes for your convenience. Snack Central Beyond the complete meals offered in the book, you’ll find plenty of easy-to-prep snacks and sides.
