Title: Toaster Oven Vs Microwave

Which is better? I still don't have a microwave and it takes forever to re-heat anything! :wall: Hubby wants to get a toaster oven and I say microwave.
So, which would be the better deal?

Microwave definitely. The only thing I use our toaster oven for is toast. I think microwaves are much more functional overall.

Both have their benefits for different types of foods.
But I think that microwaves have a slight advantage.

Both are great depending on what you do... I actually cook more with a toaster oven when it's available ... but that's just me...

well, you can't cook tv dinners or re-heat tupperware stuff in the toaster oven...but I think I use my toaster oven more on average...toasted cheese sandwiches, toast, biscuits, that kind of stuff....depends on what you're primarily going to use it for.

Microwave is more universal, I know....now to get hub to agree with me...

I have to agree. If I had the choice, I'd take the microwave. But I do like my toaster oven. We do a lot of small stuff there - especially in Yewsten summers. Sarah, I'm surprised you don't! It keeps the kitchen cooler.

Tell Abe that Eminem likes microwaves.
That should convince him!

Everything gets done using a pan in my house. We only ever use the oven in winter on the cool days.

I say toaster oven. We rarely use our microwave. I use the toaster oven all the time, especially when cooking for the kids - mozzarella sticks, chicken nuggets, french fries...wow it sounds like my kids eat pretty badly, huh?

I agree they are good for different things.
Toaster ovens will haet like a small oven, microwaves heat like.... well, microwaves.
:thanks:
For reheating pizza I think the toaster oven is MUCH better in that regard....

Then again, I've seen combo units that have both equipment in one package. I don't know how well they work, though.

Amen sister....nothing like warmed up, rubbery microwave pizza!! :sick:

Yeah, my kids now enjoy their little pizzas being heated in the oven instead of the microwave. Spoiled, I say! SPOILED! :D
