    Went to my work Christmas party last night and won a Black & Decker Toaster Oven
    I've never owned a toaster oven before. Anyone have any good tips or neat things to use it for ...???

    The Amazon link to what it looks like:
    [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-TRO480BS-Toast-R-Oven-4-Slice/dp/B002CVTT3Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323626916&sr=8-1"]Amazon.com: Black & Decker TRO480BS Toast-R-Oven 4-Slice Toaster Oven: Kitchen & Dining@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41dSHTusc5L.@@AMEPARAM@@41dSHTusc5L[/ame]
    Amazon's description:
    Perfect as a second oven or as an energy-efficient alternative to turning on the full-size oven, this countertop appliance offers a large capacity with a curved interior that can fit a 9-inch pizza or toast up to four slices of bread at a time.
    "Frugality without creativity is deprivation."-Amy Dacyczyn

    Fantastic way to cut down AC in summer by using it instead of regular stove. Love mine and use as often as possible.

    Small pizzas...pizza bread...garlic bread
    Chicken but not big pieces, more like tenders
    I've done ribs in the baking aluminum foil pans on low
    Fish in same
