Food News: No One Ever Slaved Over a Hot Toaster Oven

When Summer hits and you want to bake or broil, but you don't want to fire up the oven and add to the heat of the kitchen, a toaster oven can be a great option:

"A CONFESSION: Until recently, tucked between the latest-model ice cream maker and a high-tech juicer, sat the toaster oven I've had since college. A minimalist metal shoe box, it has gotten me through countless bagels and reheated spinach pies over way too many years. But if it hadn't been for a string of 90-plus-degree days with 90 percent humidity, I probably would never have bothered replacing it short of a natural crumby death.

But the weather, coupled with social obligations, made me reconsider this neglected appliance. Unlike a regular oven, a toaster oven doesn't heat up the kitchen. Thus I could do more than just make salad out of the cartloads of vegetables from the farmers' market week after week, and perhaps even attempt a summer fruit pie, without melting into a gelatinous puddle of sweaty misery."

Includes recipes for:


  • Cherry Tomato Confit Over Fresh Herbed Ricotta

  • Broiled Veal Chops With Sage

  • Roasted Zucchini With Feta and Mint

  • Peaches Roasted With Brown Sugar and Basil
