The 6 Best Big Toaster Ovens: As Recommended by Experts in 2021

I have been testing and reviewing kitchen appliances for more than 25 years now, and if there is one appliance I get the most feedback on, its toaster ovens.

Apparently, we’re all super passionate about baking, and from listening to all of you, I’ve learned that we all want a simple appliance that can deliver evenly browned meals – and of course, at all temperature levels, because chances are you love your meals short of burnt but your significant other prefers theirs lightly golden brown. That’s not all. When making a meal the second round using the same setting, you do not want it to come out lighter or darker than the first one, so a big toaster oven that can deliver consistent results is also essential.

With that in mind, I tested almost every high-end toaster oven I could come across, and here is a list of the ones I am confident will make your breakfast to your liking.

Oster French Convection Toaster Oven

• Oster French Convection Oven’s unique selling proposition is obvious straight out of the box. The toaster oven’s design allows you to open both doors using one hand, and of course, this is extremely practical because, in the kitchen, more than likely one of your hands is always holding or working on something on the side.
• After putting your meal inside the appliance, you have eight cooking settings to choose from depending on the food you’re cooking. These settings include dehydrate, warm, bake, defrost, pizza, convection bake, broil, and toast. For those who’re not accustomed to toaster ovens, a convection setting implies that the appliance retails with an inbuilt fan that will blow hot air around inside the appliance for fast and even results. But note, for optimum results, this setting should not be activated at all times, preparing every meal. Check out this beginner’s guide on how to bake using a toaster oven. You will get a rough idea of the importance of a convection setting and when you should activate it.
• After picking the right cooking setting, the next step is setting the time and adjusting the temperature as required. It retails with a 90-minute timer and a temperature range of 150 – 450 degrees Fahrenheit. When the timer runs out, the toaster oven will automatically switch off and let out a signal bell. And if you’re too far from the toaster oven when it switches off, the hot air inside will still be trapped inside, which will, in turn, keep your food warm until you’re done doing what you’re doing.
• Now that we understand how Oster French Convection Oven performs in the toasting department, let’s look at the features that have been added to ensure a good experience for you, the user, in the kitchen. For starters, this masterpiece boasts two rack positions to improve cooking flexibility. When cooking a meal that needs a high heat intensity, simply place it on the top rack near the heating elements, but when preparing a meal that requires a low heat intensity, you’re advised to place the meal on the bottom rack. Sometimes, I even used the two racks at the same time to prepare two different meals. They certainly come in handy when you have to leave your home in a hurry and want to warm one meal while cooking another.
• Other features of the product are its non-stick interior surfaces and a removable crumb tray. Inside the package that will arrive from Amazon, you’ll find a dishwasher safe, removable crumb tray, which will be responsible for collecting every dirt and debris that fall off your cooked meals. Most of the time, cleaning the toaster oven will include cleaning this tray. Thorough cleaning sessions will take place less than once three weeks, and when they happen, they won’t be stressful either because the interior surfaces of the appliance are non-stick. Here is a detailed guide on how to clean the inside of a toaster oven.
• Other features worth noting include its durability, sturdiness, and spacious interior. Proof that the appliance passes in all three departments with flying colors is the fact that the toaster oven is even used in restaurants for commercial purposes. I know a person who has been using it for the last two years in his restaurant. And when I asked him how it has served him, he said that it had never run into any issues since its purchase.

Notable features:

• Has a spacious interior
• Fitted with a 90-minute timer and an auto shut off setting
• Boasts a turbo setting
• Comes with two racks to provide maximum cooking flexibility
• Versatile
• The exterior surface remains cool to the touch during operations
• The feet are anti-skid
• Has a cord storage underneath

Luby Large Toaster Oven

• This commercial toaster oven can toast, broil, bake, convection bake, and more. It is also easy to use and consistently delivers perfectly, and evenly cooked meals. While testing the appliance, I realized that Luby Large Toaster Oven was one of the few toaster ovens that could deliver melty, open-faced sandwiches, and golden-brown cakes.
• Other functions you’ll find on the appliance included pizza, slow cook, auto shut off, signal bell, a 60-minute timer, and a temperature adjustment knob. What’s more? The exterior surface will remain cool to the touch during operations, which will protect anyone who comes into contact with the appliance.

Notable features:

• Looks good on the kitchen counter
• Has a very spacious interior
• Durable and sturdy
• Lightweight and portable
• Fitted with a 60-minute timer, auto shut off feature, and a signal bell
• The heating elements are of the highest quality
• Very powerful

AAOBOSI Rotisserie Toaster Oven

• Just as its name suggests, AAOBOSI Rotisserie Oven is a big toaster oven that can also easily qualify as one of the best rotisserie ovens. The appliance is also perfect for roasting and broiling fish, beef, turkey, baking cakes, cookies, pizzas, reheating food, and toasting bread slices. The convection setting that has been fitted inside will circulate hot air around inside the appliance to make sure all the meals come out quickly and evenly cooked.
• Just like the other two toaster ovens we just looked at; its door design also only requires one hand to open for added convenience. Better yet, since the doors open toward the sides like a home door, it won’t take up any significant space on your kitchen counter.

Notable features:

• Convection setting included for faster and more even cooking
• The exterior surface remains cool to the touch during operations
• Looks aesthetic on the kitchen counter
• Comes with five different cooking functions
• Easy to clean, thanks to the removable crumb tray
• The heating elements are of the highest quality

Oster Toaster Oven

• Oster Toaster Oven offers you a large interior that can accommodate cookies, casseroles, or a 12-inch pizza. I don’t know the size of your family, but I have a family of four and the appliance’s size is usually more than enough to handle our needs.
• It also boasts a digital display and seven, different cooking settings, including pizza, defrost, warm, bake, broil, toast, and convection bake. An interior light has also been included to help you visually track the cooking progress of your food.

Notable features:

• Simple design
• Feet are anti-skid
• Has a power cord storage underneath
• Safe to use in the kitchen
• Very versatile
• Has a digital display and interior light
• Fast

BLACK+DECKER TO3240XSBD Toaster Oven

• This review would be incomplete without a masterpiece from Black+Decker. This particular BLACK+DECKER TO3240XSBD Toaster Oven boasts an inbuilt convection fan and four other cooking settings, namely keep warm, toast, broil, and bake.
• This masterpiece also offers an extra-wide interior that has been particularly engineered to fit a 12-inch pizza, eight artisan bread slices, or pans measuring 9” x 13” (with handles.) That said, after placing your pan inside the appliance, do not open the glass door again until the food is ready for consumption. Ignoring this and opening the door will let all the hot air out of the toaster oven, which will, in turn, increase the time it will take to cook your meal.

Notable features:

• Will blend in seamlessly in any kitchen
• Boasts a dedicated timer
• The extra-wide interior has been designed to fit most meals
• Feet are anti-skid
• The power cord is long
• Delivers consistent results

Oster TSSTTVDGXL-SHP Toaster Oven

• The last, but by no means the least big toaster oven in our enumeration is also from Oster. This is the third unit from Oster in this enumeration, and if that doesn’t show you that the brand is doing something right, then I don’t know what would.
• This Oster TSSTTVDGXL-SHP Toaster Oven model has been fitted with 1500 watts of power to help you handle anything you throw in it and 2 rack position to improve its flexibility. Features available on the appliance include defrost, pizza, warm, broil, bake, toast, and convection bake.

Notable features:

• Has a strong, durable build
• The feet are anti-skid even on wet surfaces
• Very powerful
• Accessories included in the package
• From a reputable brand
• Easy to use and clean

Regardless of your home’s needs and requirements, you can rest assured that all the products above have what it takes to handle them. With that in mind, if you have found a big toaster oven that you think will be a great match for you, I suggest you go ahead and place an order while stock lasts.

However, if you have gone through the review but are still having a hard time making the final decision, I’m still here to help you. If I were asked to pick the best big toaster oven from the list above, I’d pick the Oster French Convection Oven. As I noted, I contacted a restaurant owner who has been using the appliance for years and he agreed that it’s arguable the best in the market today.

And if it can handle the needs of a restaurant, nothing you throw in it will slow it down.
