Better efficiency but more importantly it heats almost instantly. Thing is like magic. No preheating for 5+ mins.

Plus having a second oven is fucking awesome. I’m out there on thanksgiving with an oven full of turkey, baking dinner rolls on the side like an absolute gangster.

    The oven that comes with your stove is huge and it takes forever to preheat. I remember mine used to take like 20 minutes to preheat. For a lot of things that doubles the cooking time.

    A toaster oven has way less space to heat, together with the fast convection makes it heat up almost instantly and also evenly. It's just such a huge quality of life improvement.

    I wish we had space for either one. Assuming an air fryer can grill cheese as well as a toaster oven, I'd be fine with just the latter though. I miss my toaster oven.

    If you have the money, I'd definitely recommend a toaster oven with "air fryer" capabilities (air fryers are just convection ovens... with more convection). However they are more expensive than just an air fryer. Air fryers are also smaller so that can be a big pro if you are limited on space.

    Grill cheese in an oven? Gotta use a stovetop for that.

    Or a grill. Ya know, 'cause it's grilled cheese.

    Technically, it's a Welsh Rarebit, but most people in the U.S. don't know what that is, so I call it grilled cheese.

    Our oven literally broke (screw you fridgidaire btw) and we made thanksgiving dinner in the air fryer/ toaster oven. Even the turkey! Came out great!

    I don’t know how to tell you this, but…

    Thanksgiving was last week.

    It sucks how immediately after Thanksgiving it's illegal to cook turkey or bake dinner rolls. It's particularly annoying that it's like, a global rule even though Thanksgiving is a US thing.

    I… what? They literally said they’re out here “on Thanksgiving”.

    If you're going to be pedantic, the full quote is "out there on thanksgving", not "out here on thanksgiving". The "there" makes it implied past tense. But I'm sure it's more important to nitpick trivial parts of someones comment on the internet.

    Hey would you look at that, you're right. Totally missed that part, must have been too excited about the dinner rolls. Sentiment still stands though.

    You mean two months ago, right?
