The 5 Safest Toaster Ovens in 2021

Believe it or not, the best toaster ovens have come a very long way since their introduction as bagel-making machines. Most have bigger capacities that allow you to prepare meals that can satisfy your entire family and others have been fitted with futuristic features that can improve your flexibility in the kitchen.

That said, today we’re going to look at the safest toaster ovens that can deliver perfectly in the cooking department. If you have children running around your kitchen while preparing a meal, then safety is a must-have – and one of the main safety features is a cool to the touch exterior surface.

For those who are not accustomed to this feature, a cool to the touch exterior means that regardless of how long the toaster oven will be in operation, it’s exterior surface won’t get overheated. This ensures that anyone who comes into contact with the appliance during operations will not sustain any burn injuries.

In addition to that, the cool to the touch exterior makes sure hot air does not escape from inside the toaster oven, which in turn ensures quick and even cooking.

Without wasting any more of your time, let us skip to the main section of the post and look at the safest toaster ovens money can buy today.

Mueller Austria Toaster Oven

• The next masterpiece in our enumeration is the Mueller Austria Toaster Oven. At first glance, I noticed that this appliance is not from the most reputable toaster oven brand. But I also noticed its aesthetic nature, durable design, and a long list of features it comes with.
• So, I decided to place an order anyway and give it a try to see if it could deliver everything it advertises. When the package arrived from Amazon, the first thing I tested was its consistency. I used it to toast 10 different meals back to back without letting the appliance rest, and needless to say, the last meal to go into the appliance came out just as perfectly cooked as the first one. While testing its consistency, I also noticed several things including its inbuilt convection design and a 30-minute timer.
• Unlike most other convection toaster ovens, Mueller Austria Toaster Oven does not come with an inbuilt fan to blow hot air around inside the appliance. instead, its interior has a naturally built in a manner that’ll allow it to move hot air around just as fine as other convection toaster ovens.
• The built-in timer will automatically switch off the appliance when the timer runs out. Also, if you’re preparing a meal you’ve never prepared before, I suggest you start with a lower time. This way, if the meal comes out and it’s not sufficiently cooked, then you can simply put it back and toast it some more. If you set a higher time, however, and the food comes out overcooked, there won’t be anything you can do to correct that.
• The toaster oven also retails with a spacious interior and a removable crumb tray. I could effortlessly fit in four artisan bread slices and a 9” pizza inside the appliance. The removable crumb tray, for those who don’t know what it does, will collect every dirt and crumbs that break off of your cooked meals. This makes the appliance easy to clean since all you’ll have to do is take out the crumb tray, wipe it off using a damp cloth, and put it back inside the appliance.
