Yes, I have owned one since I moved into my first apt.

Over the years I have made almost anything in a toaster oven, besides using it for toasting!

I have made:  pies, cakes, cookies, lasagna, casseroles, baked chicken, roasted a turkey breast, pizza, roasted vegetables, baked potatoes, meatloaf, fish (mostly salmon and halibut), and many other things that I can't remember now.  Basically, I used it as I would the big oven.

I have a convection toaster oven which helps things cook faster.  I use mine just about every day.

I don't have a toaster oven but I do have the Breville Countertop Smart Oven and I LOVE it. I haven't used my big oven since I got it before Thanksgiving.  It's perfect.

I can't live without one.  I have a basic black and Decker model from Amazon.  I use it 4 times a week.  I mainly use it as a toaster for english muffins and waffles.  I also melt cheese, heat rolls and muffins in it.  When I'm done, i put it in the pantry.

That's what we have.  Saves time, electricity, doesn't heat up the kitchen.  As written in other posts has a big variety of uses.

I don't have a toaster oven.

But I would LOVE to have a REAL pizza oven so that I could have an authentic Neapolitan pizza OMG !

Sorry, but I have no idea what on earth I'd do with a toaster oven. Just another thing to clutter my countertops. A toaster oven to me reminds me of kids in college.

I think I didn't get the toaster oven gene either!  LOL!!!  I was just thinking we use our oven a lot, and I can't imagine what I'd do with a toaster oven that I woudn't just use the big oven for.  We use either it or the microwave, and mostly the oven, almost daily.

I have decided to only use a toaster oven and purchased the Brevile Pro.  This works great and I even can slowcook up to 10 hours and has a light on the inside.

Had the stovetop taken out, the countertop extended to cover the empty space where the oven was, had 3 large and deep drawers build in place of the oven. 

I still can cook on my induction plates and have a pressure cooker. 

All works well and I don't have to use the glasstop stove anymore.  Can highly recommend this arrangement.

Yes, I have one and use it almost daily. I got one that has a convection feature and use it far more than I ever anticipated. I got rid of the toaster, as I don't need both. Mine is a larger Oster and it's my second. The first is still working fine, but was smaller. I gave it to my mom when I got the new one.
