A toaster oven. A new one. (Not this one, this is just a stock photo.)

I dunno... a toaster oven with a digital control panel seems like a Mk.I Golf with electric steering.

Also, you know what 4:20 means? TIME FOR HAM APPARENTLY.

Toaster ovens are crucial for reheating pizza. You don’t want to have to resort to microwaving your pizza like a savage.

I refuse to work at a location without a toaster oven. It is the only device that should be used for preparing lunch.

The key is a hybrid heating strategy. A short time in the microwave to bring it close to room temperature so it doesn’t have to spend quite so much time in the toaster, making it unbearably crispy.

The only thing microwaves are good for is heating up liquids quickly and whatever container is holding your meal.

Toaster ovens - all the greatness of oven cooking but with microwave convenience.

And as far as your 4:20 ham? 4:20 glaze it bruh. Ain’t nobody want dry ham.

I don’t dislike the toaster oven. In fact, I’m anti-microwave. I’m not saying the toaster oven sucks, just that a digital control panel on one feels out-of-place.

Someone left the lamp on inside the toaster at work, so walked over to turn it off... pushed the flat button on the e-z-wipe control panel, and it beeped at me. I was expecting a click perhaps.

Microwaves can suck it: http://www.evilmadscientist.com/2011/microwave…

With the exception of heating liquids, yes.

I didn’t celebrate yesterday, with glaze nor blaze. :(

Actually, 4:20 means 4 hours and 20 minutes, the approximate length of time it would take to cook an entire ham in a toaster oven.

Also: toaster oven + pizza rolls = awesome

I was not commenting on the awkwardness of using a digital control toaster oven, merely the presence of a toaster oven at your place of employment makes me think they truly care about their employees your quality of lunch.

Actually, yes! My employer is top notch. Never thought of the toaster oven as a measure of an employer’s caring for their employees, but i think you’re right!

Or, if you set the toaster oven/oven for 300, put the pizza in immediately from the fridge, it’ll be perfectly heated when the toaster oven finishes the pre-heat.

Infrared toaster oven. No preheat. Welcome to 2015.

That’s pretty horrible. If it wasn’t for the rapid heating of liquids I’d consider throwing mine out the window, especially after seeing that study. Because I think mine has some weird jacked up heating pattern since it was maybe $45.

No, this is wrong. X + Pizza rolls = bad

We had one in our break room once, until one of the younger employees almost set the building on fire with it.

I usually do feel bad after eating an entire bag. Probably enough sodium for a lifetime in one bag.

Let’s just say that “Set it and forget it!” only works on the Showtime Rotisserie Grill.

For a couple years, my family and I lived without a microwave on purpose. Its not hard, but it is annoying sometimes. But you tend to gravitate away from convenience foods, which is good.

The trend was broken when a neighbor was moving and gifted us a nice microwave because they didn’t want to take it with them. So we use it, mostly for heating liquids.

dammit, I brought one to my office, after reheating my first slice of pizza my boss said we can;t have the place smelling like a pizza parlor and said not to use it again. I was really looking forward to toasted english muffins.

Anything that heats pizza will make the place smell like pizza, even a microwave, jerk boss.

Surprisingly, no gifs of Hammer Time with Hammer replaced by a Ham. Someone make it so!

ultimate technique is heat fry pan while heating pizza in microwave with a cup with a bit of water to keep crust from toughening then crisp in fry pan.

This is the single best toaster oven in existence, once you buy one you will never buy anything else again.

I’ll have to try that. Right now I just run the toaster oven on broil with the convection setting on so that only the top cheese gets direct heat. If the pizza is frozen and not just cold, I might cover the crust around the rim with aluminum foil for half the time.

We have one in our recently unmodeled kitchenette at work. It has that reality TV chef tie in branding. The angry dude with the ginger hair. Bear Gryllis or something...
