toaster oven for rv
Are you an RV owner who’s fed up with their cramped kitchen and inefficient cooking appliances? If so, you’ll be happy to know that a toaster oven for RV can be the perfect solution.
This blog post will guide you on how to choose the right toaster oven that can help make your RV kitchen more efficient and enjoyable. From size and design considerations to the features that will make your cooking experience more efficient, this blog post will help you determine the best toaster oven for your RV kitchen. So, let’s dive in and explore how to make your RV kitchen more efficient and enjoyable with the right toaster oven!
How We Pick And Test:
Size: We looked for toaster ovens, both countertop and portable, that can fit on a countertop or in an RV or trailer without taking up too much space.
Power: We looked for models that heat up quickly and reliably.
Ease of Use: We wanted models that had intuitive controls, were easy to clean, and were safe to cook with.
Expert review: We have a cooking expert review for each top contender.
Things To Consider Before Buying:
Size: Capacity and size are important, but so are the length and width, which can be limited by a counter and cabinet space.
Price: You might find a model you love for $100, but be prepared to pay at least $150 for a quality toaster oven.
Style: The toaster oven is, essentially, a glorified microwave-oven hybrid, so features to look for include convection, warming, and rotisserie.
Toasting: Look for a “toasting element” that heats up evenly and toasts bread evenly as well.
Oven: Some toaster ovens have an oven that lets you bake, broil, or roast.
Cuisinart TOA-28 Compact Convection Toaster Oven Airfryer, 12.5″ x 15.5″ x 11.5″, Stainless Steel
For its combination of features, ease of use, and quality of food it produces, the Cuisinart TOA-28 is our pick for the best countertop convection toaster oven. It’s a well-priced model that provides a lot of versatility in a small footprint. It’s small enough to fit on a counter, but we found it more expandable, with more functions, than the similarly priced Breville Smart Oven.
Cuisinart Compact Convection Toaster Oven Airfryer
- ENDLESS FUNCTIONS: This Compact design AirFryer Toaster Oven takes less room on the countertop an is equipped with a convection bake, convection broil, AirFry, toast, bagel and warm – all in one appliance
- CAPACITY: Large enough to airfry up to 2.5-pounds, toasts 4-slices of bread, bakes a 3-pounds of chicken
Air, which we tested and liked but found somewhat cramped. It can toast up to six slices of bread, air fry, bake, broil, and roast, even baked goods such as cookies or pizza. It can air fry–which is to say, convection air fry–up to two pounds of fries or chicken, or a pound and a half of Brussels sprouts or vegetables.
It bakes a roast chicken in about 40 minutes, versus 70 minutes in a 4-pound oven.
Here are the features:
- [Features]: 12.5″ x 15.5″ x 11.5″,
- Stainless Steel Oven Body,
- 2.5 Qt. Convection Oven Capacity,
- 1.3 Cu. Ft. Convection Airfryer Capacity, 120V-60Hz
Pros
- Large capacity
- A wide range of functions
- The timer is very convenient for a toaster oven
- The oven rack and the crumb tray are removable, so cleaning is very easy
- The oven light works well
- The unit is easy to operate
- The tray for Airfrying is non-stick, so cleaning is also easy
Cons
- The fan’s noise can be heard when the oven is cooking
- The timer/auto-shutoff feature is not always effective
- The oven’s interior is not removable, so cleaning is more difficult
Though it lacks an automatic pop-up timer, it has a preheat and an automatic shutoff, and it comes with a clever, removable crumb tray, a baking pan, and an air fryer rack/basket, all of which nest together inside the unit for storage. The Cuisinart oven also has a convection bake and convection broil, and unlike many convection toaster ovens, it doesn’t require you to pre-heat it at all.
BLACK+DECKER 4-Slice Toaster Oven with Natural Convection, Stainless Steel, TO1760SS
There’s a lot to like about this toaster-oven combo. It offers the same features as more expensive models, such as a convection oven, broiling, and toasting. The glass-ceramic nonstick interior heats evenly and is easy to clean. The convection feature results in a crispy crust, and the bake, broil, toast, and keep-warm functions all work quite well.
BLACK+DECKER 4-Slice Toaster Oven
- Four Cooking Functions: Choose from convection bake, broil, toast, and keep warm
- Compact Size: Easily fit a 9″ pizza, four slices of bread, or a variety of other snacks and meals; Wattage:1150W
- 30-Minute Timer: The precise cooking timer features a stay-on function for longer baking tasks
The bagel setting, however, worked better in our tests than in the oven’s manual. The rack is removable and nonstick, but it’s narrow, so don’t expect to cook more than one item at a time.
The oven is small enough that it’s small enough to fit on a counter or tabletop, but be aware that it will take up valuable space.

- The timer is long enough for most things, and the stay-on function is a nice feature

Cons

- The included rack and bake pan are flimsy and do not provide adequate coverage during heating
The precise 30-minute timer beeps when food is done, and the oven stops automatically when the door is opened. At less than 10 inches tall and 14 inches wide, the toaster oven can fit in even the smallest kitchen, and it’s lightweight, weighing only 7 pounds. The dual-rack space is large enough to feed a small family or host a small gathering. The toaster-oven combo is the right size for dorm rooms, too.

The Elite Gourmet Americana ETO1200BL is a budget toaster oven with a small footprint, at 13 x 13.5 x 11 inches, and an easy-clean, retro design. The controls are intuitive, the buttons are raised, and the door is made of stainless steel, but it lacks a heating light or an interior light. The ETO1200BL toaster oven has a simple, straightforward design and a 60-minute timer that gives you a measure of control over baking.

It also has pull rings for adjusting the rack and a removable crumb tray. But with an 1100-watt output, the toaster oven’s unique design, which channels away heat and directs it back into the oven, limits its ability to bake or broil. We had better results baking cookies, which was easily done at 350 degrees for 22 minutes; we baked a frozen pizza at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, and it came out a bit charred; and we baked chicken tenders at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.

At 350 degrees, however, the ETO1200BL toaster oven took 50 minutes to toast bagels, while it took 14 minutes to toast a boxed frozen muffin. We baked French fries at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Overall, the ETO1200BL toaster oven is a good option for quick meals and snacks at a reasonable cost.

Pros

Cons
- The oven takes a little bit longer to heat up than I’d like. But it’s an incremental difference. The only other con I have is that the bottom metal “shelf” is non-adjustable, so you can’t put anything underneath it
- It’s also not as tall as I would like
The removable crumb tray makes clean-up a snap. With a large capacity, the oven can still fit a 12-inch pizza or six slices of toast, and the easy-to-use heating elements make toasting and baking a breeze.

The oven comes with a baking pan, a nonstick baking rack, and a crumb tray, and it’s large enough to fit two 4-inch slices of bread or a small 9-inch pizza. One big drawback: It’s tricky to adjust the temperature of this appliance. Most toaster ovens come with dials that adjust both temperature and timer, but this model has only two dials, each of which only controls one function. One dial switches the power, and the other set the cooking mode (bake, broil, or toast). This adds an extra step to the cooking process: You can’t bake or broil something and then immediately switch to toast.
