Baked a small pork roast last night (it will feed us twice). It is HOT and HUMID here in Houston Texas and we are under a heat advisory. The A/C has to work hard enough as it is. The toaster oven uses LESS electricity and doesn't heat up the kitchen as much.

I also use the breadmaker, toaster oven, and crockpot on the back porch; so the kitchen doesn't get heated up AT ALL.
