6 Best Toaster Ovens 2022

We updated this article in October 2022 to add more information about each featured product, based on extensive testing done by the Good Housekeeping Institute. Our original top-rated picks, selected by the Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, remain the same except for new picks from Cuisinart and KitchenAid.

Toaster ovens take up minimal space, can replace several kitchen appliances (like your toaster and air fryer — some are already air fryer toaster ovens) and shorten cooking times, especially when you use the convection setting. In addition to toasting bread and bagels, they can cook whole chickens and roast vegetables. Since most toaster ovens don’t require preheating, they’re great for the summer months when you don’t want to heat up your entire kitchen with your full-size oven. They're also energy efficient and use as little as half the energy of a conventional oven.

In the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, we've tested about 60 toaster ovens in the past ten years. We test to see which ones can produce the most even, golden brown toast in the shortest amount of time. We also melt cheese on open faced sandwiches, bake cakes and air fry chicken wings if there is an air fry setting. Here are our top picks for the best toaster ovens you can buy in 2022 based on testing:

How we test toaster ovens

In the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, we've tested about 60 toaster ovens in the past ten years.

Good Housekeeping

A well performing toaster oven should be able to toast multiple slices of bread evenly. For our most recent test of more than 20 toaster ovens, we toasted more than 500 slices of bread.

Good Housekeeping

We check for evenly cooked baked goods as well as the ability to broil steak and to melt cheese on open-faced sandwiches.

Good Housekeeping

For toaster ovens with air fryer functions, we test how quickly and evenly they crisp up chicken wings and frozen French fries. We also evaluate toaster ovens based on their design quality, user manuals, control panels, ease of use, number of rack positions, interior visibility, audible alert and cleanability.

What to look for when shopping for a toaster oven

✔️ Space: Consider how much room you have as well as what you want to use the oven for. If space is not an issue, dream big: Ovens like the Breville Smart Oven Air and the June Oven can fit a small turkey. If space is an issue, there are many compact ovens on the market, like the Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp, that can still fit six slices of bread at one time, or a 13-inch frozen pizza.

✔️ Design: Since your toaster oven will most likely live on your counter, aesthetics are important. Digital toaster ovens with stainless steel housing are typically sleeker and more modern looking than their mechanical counterparts.

✔️ Rack positions: Most toaster ovens have two rack positions, but the largest have three. The added rack position allows for even more cooking versatility and usable space, especially for air frying or dehydrating. As a general rule of thumb, the uppermost positions are used for broiling, while the middle are used for toasting bread and baking, and the bottom is used for cooking large roasts or pizzas.

✔️ Accessories: Most toaster ovens come with at least one rack and a baking/broiling pan (note: a heavier baking pan means less warping over time). Most toaster ovens now come with a removable crumb tray that is dishwasher safe too. Being able to toss them in the dishwasher is also very important: Dishwasher-safe parts help with toaster oven maintenance by preventing smoking from caked on gunk and keeping things looking new and shiny.

✔️Additional features: Toaster ovens come with an air frying basket/rack, others with pizza stones or rotisseries spits, and many include an interior light, which helps you see inside without opening the door. We found this feature to be very useful, and were also pleased with toaster ovens that had large, glass doors for the easiest viewing.

✔️Settings: Toaster ovens come with a variety of different settings and functions. While some may only have a few like toast, bagel, bake, broil, pizza and reheat; others like the June Oven have over 200+ settings like convection, toast, air fry, dehydrate, grill, slow cook, broil, proof, pizza, roast and warm just to name a few. If you're specifically trying to replace a few different kitchen appliances with one, make sure that the toaster oven you purchase can perform the certain functions you are looking for.

Which is better a microwave or toaster oven?

Toaster ovens and microwaves can be used interchangeably for kitchen tasks like reheating leftovers or melting butter and can both live on your countertop as a fixture of your kitchen.

A toaster oven utilizes a heating element to brown and toast food similarly to an oven. While a microwave heats water molecules through electromagnetic waves, cooking food from the inside out, not resulting in a browning effect like a toaster oven. Ultimately, both perform very different functions and create different results because of how they operate.

If you cook a lot of popcorn, like quickly steamed vegetables and need to defrost ingredients quickly a microwave will be your best bet. However, if you are looking to bake golden cakes, toast multiple slices of bread at once and broil steak for a quick lunch a toaster oven is a good choice. Because of their different strengths, many people have both kitchen appliances in the home.

Photo-Illustration: The Strategist; Photos: Retailers
I’m a self-professed toast snob, which has made me a little obsessive about finding the right toaster. In my mind, a toaster should produce a hot and crispy slice, no matter the sort of bread, within the blink of an eye. I prefer my toast to be ombré like a sunset, with a lemon-colored center and amber edges, but you should have a number of shade options for whatever you’re feeling. In this toaster-scape that’s chock-full of choices, it’s hard to find one that does this all easily.
So I talked with 11 fellow toast-heads and tested four different models — though I lost count of how much toast I’ve eaten over the past few months. There are the simple, industrial-inspired options — like your KitchenAids and your Cuisinarts — the retro-inspired, and even the avant-garde, like an Italian-designed Alessi covered in plissé pleats. But regardless of the look, the best toasters will make the perfect piece of toast every time you press that lever; here are some of my favorites.
Best overall | Best (less expensive) | Best long-slot | Best with extra-wide slots | Best (less expensive) with extra-wide slots | Best high design | Best (less expensive) high design | Best overall oven | Best (less expensive) oven | Best steam oven

Slots: Toasters are usually available in either a two- or four-slice capacity, and often the same model can come in either capacity. Where there’s more variability is in the width and length of the slot, which is why your favorite slice fits into one toaster but can’t even make it halfway through another. So let me introduce two industry terms: long-slot and extra-wide slots. A long-slot toaster is usually at least 14 inches long, with an almost exaggerated shape, and it is good for accommodating slices from artisan loaves. Extra-wide slots tend to be marketed as 1.5 inches wide, and those are nice if you’re dealing with a lot of bagels. These terms aren’t standard, and are all somewhat abstract, so I’ve called out if a toaster brands itself in a particular way — but read the descriptions from our experts to better understand slot specifics. In general, I found that toasters with extra-wide slots were the most versatile.
Browning settings: You’ve probably set a toaster dial wrong and ended up with a slice that looks like it was accidentally dipped into a black paint can. So even though most toasters have some sort of dial to represent different levels of brownness, these can vary between models. (A “1” on one may be the same as a “3” on another.) Here, I’m calling out how many levels of done, as well as if there are any specific adjacent functions.
Size: So you know if a toaster will fit into the spot you have in mind.
Extras: You could spend $20 or $200 on a toaster. They essentially do the same thing. But the more high-end you go, the more you (generally) get. That could include lights to make numbers easier to read for barely awake eyes. Maybe there are bread-specific features, like for white versus whole grain. Or it might be all about the design. This is an item that’s probably going to get prime kitchen real estate — so it should look the part.

KitchenAid 4-Slice Toaster with Manual High-Lift Lever
$80 now 25% off
From $60
4 extra-wide slots | 5 browning settings | 11.4” x 11.62” x 7.48” | High-lift lever
I tested this KitchenAid toaster for three months (and am still using it at least three times a week), and from the time I put it on my counter to now, it’s popped out perfectly golden toast. It’s got five browning settings, each of which is distinct; 1 gives you a barely there blond, while 5 gets you to scorched territory. I prefer a 2, which produces that sundown shade I talked about earlier, whether I’ve put in a slice of an already brown multigrain from the bag or a hand-cut chunk of ciabatta.
There are two features that really make the design stand out from all the other toasters I have tested and owned. First are the extra-wide slots, which have let me toast slices from thicker loaves — something I couldn’t do with my past toasters. The high-lift lever also means I’m able to delicately take toast from the top without having to play the saddest game of hot potato. Plus, the KitchenAid lets out an assertive beep when toast is ready — so I never have to chew through cold toast because I couldn’t hear a ding. I have put it through the wringer with Pardilla family brunches, where pancake-like stacks of toast are passed around. That KitchenAid quality is no joke: One Amazon review I read before the brand sent it over described the toaster as “built as solid as a 1957 Buick.” I have accidentally banged the toaster around and there’s not a scratch on it. And there’s a certain Jetsons-like charm to it — I could see it lasting well into the future.

Black+Decker 2-Slice Extra-Wide Slot Toaster
$35
2 extra-wide slots | 7 browning settings | 7.25 x 12.75 x 9.25 | Self-centering guides on slots
I heard about this Black+Decker toaster from Alexandra Shytsman, recipe developer and founder of recipe blog The New Baguette. Though this toaster doesn’t have the bells and whistles of others, it’s reliable and has earned a permanent place on Shytsman’s countertop for the past two years. It’s small but mighty: Its extra-wide slots are as advertised, and Shytsman puts everything from thicker-cut bagels to Ezekiel bread inside. The self-centering slots ensure an even toasting, and like our pick for best overall toaster, the lever on the Black+Decker helps Shytsman get the tinier items out of the toaster, like English muffins, without having to reach in with a tong.

Breville Die-Cast Smart Toaster
$200
$200
2 long-slots | 5 browning settings with progress bar | 7.7” x 14. 9” x 7.5” | One-touch lowering, LED lights, “A Bit More,” and “Lift & Look” features
“It’s the toaster for toast people” is how Ali Slagle, author of I Dream of Dinner (So You Don’t Have To), described this Breville Die-Cast. The big selling point is the toaster’s duo of wider long-slots, designed for up to four slices. This allows you to get toast to a shade resembling the inside of a toasted nut, Slagle says.
But it also has a number of features to satisfy even the most discerning of toast people. “This might sound funny, but it’s a graceful machine,” Slagle says, adding that it “dings kindly when it’s ready.” Michael East of Griddle King likes that it doesn’t “pop” like other toasters, so crumbs aren’t left all over the place. There’s the cheekily named “A Bit More” button that you can press if you really just want a little extra bit of browning and “avoid doing a full second round of toasting,” Slagle says. “Lift & Look” is for those who are “nervous you went too high on the setting or are trying to really fine-tune the browning,” says Strategist senior editor Jen Trolio, who owns a similar version of this specific model. As does Laura Arnold, a culinary producer and cookbook consultant, who promises that “this toaster does all the work for you.”

Breville The Toast Select Luxe
$177
2 extra-wide slots | 6 settings with progress bar | 8.2” x 7.9” x 13.4” | Preset toast types, “A Bit More” and “Lift & Look” functions
Anna Stockwell, a food stylist and recipe developer, hasn’t found anything bread that doesn’t fit through the wide-slotted Breville Select Luxe. “The slots are plenty wide for bagels and thick slices of sourdough,” she says. It’s an updated version of the Breville, above, and it comes with preset settings including for whole wheat bread and muffins. But Stockwell’s favorite function is “frozen,” as she keeps her gluten-free bread fresh in the freezer, which accounts for defrosting without sacrificing toastiness. This toaster also gets brownie points for aesthetics, which Stockwell describes as “ retro-chic.”

Cuisinart Classic 2-Slice Toaster
$50
$50
2 or 4 extra-wide slots | 6 browning settings | Manual lift-lever, LED indicator lights
As a more affordable alternative, the Cuisinart Classic comes recommended by recipe developer Rebecca Firkser. The 1.5-inch toaster slots are the same thickness that Firkser typically cuts bread. Even with these extra-wide slots, it’s small enough for her kitchen. Firkser only has “a weirdly deep corner between the stove and sink that can’t do much else but store stuff,” and that’s where this toaster sits. It has been a fixture in her kitchen even after eight years, four apartments, seven roommates, “and many (many) slices of bread.” It’s lasted through high levels of heat, too — she prefers charred (but not burnt) pieces of toast. “It’s nothing fancy, but it does exactly what you need it to do, and does it well,” Firkser promises. Food stylist María del Mar Cuadra owns the also “unobtrusive” four-slice version and favors it to too-slow toaster ovens.

Smeg 4-Slice Toaster
$280
2 or 4 slots | 6 browning settings | 13” x 11.75” x 7.5” | Ball lever knobs, non-slip feet, enamel finish
The retro Smeg toaster is a staple on wedding registries and new homeowner wish lists, and you can spot it on celebrities’ kitchen countertops, like Saturday Night Live’s Chloe Fineman and Food Network star Molly Yeh. And the aesthetics are a large part of the appeal. “It feels like the logical adult upgrade to the Easy-Bake Oven I loved so much as a kid,” says Hadley Sui, author of Oishisou!! The Ultimate Anime Dessert Cookbook. Sui always gets “a crisp surface with some chewy give in the middle of the slice” on the lowest setting. I tried it on everything from Arnold’s country-style white to Pepperidge Farm’s whole grain and frozen Belgian waffles from Trader Joe’s and never had to switch the dial over from 1. It’s not perfect: I found that sesame seeds can catch on the top edge of the toaster, and the Strategist’s kitchen and dining writer Emma Wartzman is convinced that her Smeg leaves one side of toast darker than the other. But if you’re able and willing to spend the money, and want a toaster that’ll mostly get the job done, the Smeg will definitely look the part.

Hay Sowden Toaster
$95
1 long-slot | 7 browning settings | 7.7” x 6” x 7.7” | Warming tray on top
Hay is one of our most-written-about brands at the Strategist, known for its playful designs. This toaster is a member of Hay’s colorful Sowden collection, named after designer George Sowden, who created the pieces from his Milanese studio. It’s joy inducing, resembling a toy you’d find in a kid’s pretend kitchen. The red dial on the blue version reminds me of a clown’s nose even. But don’t be deceived by how the toaster looks, however. The Sowden means business. I found that cleaved-off pieces of ciabatta become perfectly crunchy and crispy-edged. Though the very tip of a taller toast might stick out. The tray top also doubles as a place to freshen once-flaky pastries.

Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven
$170 now 7% off
From $158
No slots | 5 browning settings | 13” x 10.25” x 12” | Temperature control, adjustable interior brightness, LED indicator lights, pre-set cooking functions
“If I could have one appliance, and one appliance only, it would be a toaster oven,” writes Strategist contributor Sarah Leon. In the middle of a renovation, she had to improvise a makeshift kitchen, and this Panasonic became an essential, if unexpected, star of it. Part of the toaster oven’s magic is based on its “smart sensor,” which automatically turns the machine’s heat on and off to keep what’s inside at just the right temperature. “It heats up very quickly and doesn’t have to be on for a long time,” she explains. And her husband has even cooked lobster in it. “Something about the infrared technology also means that it makes the best toast. I can’t explain it; you’ll have to trust me,” Leon says.

Hamilton Beach 31142 Toaster Oven
$70
No slots | Three toast-specific settings | 9.88” x 16.54” x 13. 11” | Additional functions including for baking and broiling, adjustable temperature, three knobs
You can only choose between three toast-specific settings on this Hamilton Beach, but that’s more than enough for Snackable Bakes author Jessie Sheehan. Each is represented by a drawing of toast on the right side of the last dial — the middle of the three gives Sheehan a super-hot slice that becomes perfectly butter-soaked in spots. Deli-style bagels are also just a turn of a dial away. In between “bake” and “broil,” a convenient “bagel” function toasts the side of a bagel that’s cut while purely warming the round part. It also helps her make a mean chicken parm for her younger son, while her husband relies on it to roast pepitas destined to go in salads. “There’s absolutely nothing sexy about it, and yet it is a workhorse that has never failed me,” Sheehan says.

Balmuda The Toaster Oven
$299
No slots | 15 settings on timed dial | 14.1” x 12.6” x 8.2” | Modes for sandwiches, artisan breads, and pizza, with optional oven temperatures
This is the tricked-out toaster made famous by Emily Mariko. “The Toaster Oven” — as it’s called, designed by Japanese home-appliance brand Balmuda — is double the price of Panasonic’s. But it really is the Ferrari of steam ovens. In Balmuda’s case, you pour a teaspoon of water into a top opening to heat up what’s inside. It’s undoubtedly unique — the company sent me one to try out — with toast getting a lighter texture compared to other toasters. Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner, a food writer and editor who also owns one, supplied a more scientific explanation for this: As “the steam replicates a professional bread oven,” the crust becomes crunchier, while the center of bread stays moist and corners get crisper. The effect really re-creates the taste of just-baked bread, as promised.
But it’s the bonus features you’re getting that helps that $300 price tag. I got gooey, better-than-panini-pressed grilled cheese with the sandwich-specific setting. Hoeffner uses the pizza function to get as close to a box-fresh slice as possible. Even her croissants turn “extra fluffy and fantastic to pull apart.” Hoeffner adds: “It’s the perfect countertop appliance,” especially if you don’t have much to spare.

Holidays in Yalta 2023: cheap prices and best reviews

Holidays in Yalta in 2023

Yalta is located in an impressively beautiful place on the southern coast of the resort peninsula. The city stands on the hills adjacent directly to the coast. On the one hand, it is surrounded by mountains overgrown with dense forests. Sometimes, in the manner of a languid beauty, they hide their peaks behind a veil of clouds, but more often they simply set off the unimaginably optimistic azure of the sky. On the other hand, the eye has nothing to cling to at all, it goes into the distance for tens of kilometers, in a vain attempt to determine the line where sea turquoise touches the horizon.

Where to stay

It just so happened that the prices for holidays in Yalta cannot be called budget. And 2023 will not be an exception: if you manage to find decent housing up to 3000 r per day, consider that you have won the lottery. You can and should save money by choosing a room or apartment without intermediaries. Moreover, the line between them and outright scammers here, in the main resort of Crimea, is very blurred.

How to get there?

There are several ways to get to Yalta - the road will take different times, the level of comfort is also different. It is impossible not to mention that in the resort capital of the peninsula there is no airport and railway lines - but thanks to Simferopol, you can get to the resort quite quickly and by any mode of transport. Those who chose the route by car or bus can be congratulated: the road will be straight, but you will spend a lot of time on the road.

You can get to Simferopol Airport by plane from almost any major city in Russia. The distance to the center is only 15 km, you can get there by public transport. The cost of the ticket will depend on the seasonality and demand for the flight. If you want to visit Simferopol at the same time, it is better to choose a train ride, from the station there is an intercity trolleybus number 52 - straight to Yalta, but if you wish, you can choose a taxi. It is better to look at the train schedule and the exact price of tickets on the official website of Russian Railways.

Climate

Yalta's location guarantees a unique microclimate of the resort: a mountain range with peaks up to 1250 meters high securely fences it off from the northern winds blowing from the steppe part of the peninsula, and does not allow to overcool. And in the summer months, it also protects the resort from the suffocating heat - descending air currents from the wooded slopes, overgrown with pine trees, cool the seaside atmosphere like an air conditioner. There are no real frosts on the coast even in January winter. As for the high season, from the end of May to the middle, or even the end of September, you can swim.

Warm weather with temperatures from +25 to +35 in the air and from +21 to +26 in the sea is almost guaranteed from June to September. There is a lot of sun - from year to year the city claims to be the sunniest place in Crimea. However, the humidity in the resort is somewhat higher than in the steppe regions of the peninsula, and this feature should be taken into account by people who do not tolerate the humid subtropical climate too well.

Yalta creates ideal conditions for recreation, and all thanks to the special climatic zone of Russia. The number of sunny days per year is impressive - from 22 to 28, the number of days with precipitation - 114. The driest months are July and September, and vice versa, the most rain is observed in December. Going on vacation, check the weather forecast for a week.

Beaches

Yalta's Massandra Beach is the only one in Crimea awarded the Blue Flag for the highest quality standards. It is pebbly, well-groomed, well-equipped. Entrance is free, but it is unlikely that you will be able to find a place for a towel - everything is filled with sun loungers. The prices for these accessories for relaxing by the sea are high: from 400 rubles per day.

Judging by the reviews of tourists, Primorsky Beach is much more democratic, but in summer it is a problem to find a place here. The resort has changing cabins, it is possible to rent sun loungers, there are water attractions: catamarans and bananas, inflatable slides. For those who wish, even paragliding is available.

Two good small-pebble beaches are located in Livadia. These are: Dolphin and Livadia beach. Entrance to both is free. Dolphin is better suited for families with children due to the gentle and safe entry into the water, Livadiysky is for those who hope not to lie in the second layer. You can see photos of the best beach places, location on a map of nearby city attractions on our website in a special section.

There are no sandy beaches in Yalta itself and nearby regions due to geological features. The maximum can be found in sand and pebble areas. An artificial sandy beach is located on the territory of the Yalta-Intourist hotel, but it is paid. But here you can put on a lot of different photos!

Entertainment and sights

Tourists come to Yalta from other parts of Crimea for entertainment. And this is understandable!

The resort has a brand new water park "Atlantida", which was put into operation in 2015. Modern slides, a large wave pool and a reasonable pricing policy: 1600 rubles for an adult and half as much for a children's ticket made the water park immensely popular.

Today it is almost comparable to the one used by the Skazka Zoo. The Yalta zoo is the only one in Crimea (except, of course, the Taigan lion park, owned by the same owner) and is kept in exemplary order. The rather high entry prices (700 rubles per adult in the season and 500 rubles in autumn and winter, children are half the price) are quite justified, given the clean and spacious enclosures that pets live in and how clean the territory is.

The teeth of the Ai-Petri mountain plateau is another landmark of Yalta. And entertainment in the form of climbing them with the help of a cable car from Miskhor will be ignored by a rare resort visitor. It costs 350 r per person aged 13 years and older and 250 for children 6-12 years old.

Tourists should not deprive their attention of the Livadia Palace with its park, the former imperial residence. The palace can only be visited during a half-hour organized tour (400 r per adult), you can move around the park for an unlimited period of time.
