I've been searching this forum for toaster oven advice, so I hope I'm not bringing up something I should have already found....
Is there a toaster oven (<$75) that has a bake setting which heats only the bottom elements? I just bought one which heats both top and bottom elements, and sure enough, muffins come out way overbrowned on top. My old toaster oven had more headspace (and I suspect that, in bake mode, the upper elements did not heat as much as the bottom ones), so it worked better for baked goods.
