The 6 Best Digital Toaster Ovens of 2021: Top Rated Models

There is a time and place for prestigious kitchen appliances, like microwaves, regular toasters, and juicers, but the at-home quarantine cooking period might not be it. And while I have written a lot about high-end and easy to use kitchen appliances (including electric kettles, Panini makers, sandwich makers, and pressure cookers), today we have rounded up the 6 best digital toaster ovens ideal for baking a cake or heating up leftovers.

Not only have all the models, we’ll look at today, been praised by some of the most enthusiastic reviewers at Amazon, but I personally took them through a series of tests to ensure that they could deliver as advertised.

This further implies that whichever product you pick from the list, you can rest assured that its performance won’t let you down. Better yet, if at the end of the post you’re having a hard time making a final, educated decision, I’ll also mention my favorite unit from the list. So, you can feel free to give it a try.

Without further ado, let’s skip to the main section of the post and look at the best digital toaster ovens in the marketplace today.

Wolf Gourmet WGCO160S Toaster Oven

• The first product in our detailed enumeration earned its position in this list because of its 7 cooking modes that have been backed by an advanced convection cooking technology. These 7 cooking modes include toast, bagel, proof, warm, broil, roast, and bake. And if you’re not familiar with the convection technology, it simply implies that the unit retails with an inbuilt fan that will blow hot air around inside the appliance for fast cooking and even browning. Note though, not all meals appreciate the convection setting. some of them need to cook slowly at a lower heat intensity for great results, so ensure you understand the difference before activating the convection setting.

• In the package you will receive from Amazon after acquiring this appliance, you will also find several accessories including a temperature probe, a broiling rack insert, a removable crumb tray, and 2 easy-glide oven racks. All these are there to improve the appliance’s flexibility.

Oster Toaster Oven

• When I placed this Oster Toaster Oven on my kitchen counter after its arrival from Amazon, it looked like something straight out of the 50s. But when I started testing its toasting ability, it did quite the opposite and resembled a unit straight out of the future.
• The unit has been fitted with a reliable convection technology and a wide temperature range of 150 to 450 degrees F. The two of them coupled together will allow it to handle anything your family throws in it.

• Inside the package you will receive from Amazon, you’ll also find some accessories, including a durable baking pan and a removable crumb tray. The most exciting of the two is the removable crumb tray, which will make your cleaning sessions easier and faster. If you’re new to toaster ovens and don’t know what a crumb tray is, it’s simply the part of the appliance that will collect all the dirt and debris that fall off of your cooked meals. To clean the tray, all you ought to do is take it out, empty its contents into a bin, and wipe it off using a damp cloth.
• For the once-a-month cleaning sessions, here is a guide on how to clean the interior of your toaster oven. The interior is non-stick, so these sessions won’t be a hassle or time-consuming either.

Toshiba AC25CEW-SS Toaster Oven

• If reliability is your go-to feature when you’re picking a kitchen appliance, then I urge you not to look any further than this Toshiba AC25CEW-SS Toaster Oven. This masterpiece boasts a strong build, thanks to its stainless-steel finish, and during my testing sessions, it performed exceptionally well.
• The unit has been fitted with 10 different cooking settings, namely convection, keep warm, rotisserie, reheat, defrost, cookies, pizza, broil, bake, and toast. I’m a fan of toasted slices, so the toast setting was the first one I tested after the appliance arrived from Amazon. I went out and acquired 30 loaves of bread, and toasted every single slice using the appliance (back-to-back and without letting the toaster oven rest in between.) The results? Well, the fact it made it into this ultimate review means that its performance exceeded my expectation. The last slice to go in came out just as perfectly toasted as the first one to go in.
• The bottom line is, if the appliance could handle all those slices back-to-back without altering its quality, then you can rest assured that nothing your family throws in it will slow it down.

Notable features:

• Very powerful
• Fitted with a bright digital display
• Backed by a one-year warranty
