For me It’s nice to check details how one things work. For that reason I usually find it on the internet. One my favorite site is howstuffworks. Yesterday I bought new toaster ovens. It’s always bothering me, how small stuff like that can do your cooking job. So just like before, start with googling it.

How Toaster Ovens Work?

Basically a toaster oven is similar with toaster itself. They operate in the same manner. A slice of bread, a frozen waffle, a toaster strudel, or some similar food item is placed through a slot in the top of the toaster and into the carriage. The carriage is lowered into the chassis using the lever at the side of the toaster. When it reaches the bottom, the carriage latches in position and an internal switch is activated to start the heating process. A thermostat determines how long electric current will be sent from the power cord to the heating elements.

Toaster ovens are becoming more complex devices, though, and can accommodate up to eight slices. Convection ovens are apparently becoming more standard combined with a toaster oven.

To operate a toaster oven, controls are set, the door is opened, food is placed on a tray, and the door is closed. If set for toasting, a toaster thermostat operates the upper and lower heating elements as selected by the color controller. If set for baking or broiling, the baking thermostat operates the heating elements as selected by the temperature controller and possibly by a timing mechanism.
