Toaster ovens gain popularity for energy savings

Toaster ovens are becoming more popular as an easy cooking gadget that won't heat up an entire kitchen during the steamy summer months or as a way to reduce energy consumption, as most use much less electricity than a full-sized oven. They're convenient for heating up frozen foods and making quick meals, and a number of users also say they're great to have as an extra cooking appliance when preparing large meals, like Thanksgiving dinner.
