Senior Cook
In my younger years, I lived in a basement suite that lacked an actual oven. All I had was what you just described - a toaster oven that had two stove elements on top.To me, it looks like a fancy toaster oven with a hot plate on top--I so want one!!!
It was nifty. I was just cooking for myself in those days so it got the job done. And you just can't beat how fast a toaster oven heats up!
But: now I couldn't imagine living without my "grown-up" oven
