Energy prices are so high these days and we really need to look at all the possible ways we can save energy. Now just for our pockets, but also for our planet! This is why I’m looking at the Cuisinart Toaster Oven Tob 195. Read on to see my reasons for liking it. If you have more than one person who wants to eat toast in the morning, you really need a toaster that heats up fast and that can make more than simply four slices of toast at a time. So, maybe that should be my first reason for considering a toaster oven. We are three people in the house who each wants to eat two slices of toast so we have quite a waiting list at the toaster in the morning! Another thing why I’m considering the Cuisinart Toaster Oven Tob 195 is because we are only three people. If we want to bake something small, we have to heat up the big oven which uses a lot of electricity and it takes a long time. Because a toaster oven is smaller it heats up a lot faster and therefore uses much less electricity. In South Africa we are looking at more that a 500% hike in electricity in the next few years so we have to make a plan, and soon! Then there is the other good reason. We love pizzas, but heating up the big oven for it is simply too expensive, and besides, in spite of it being big, it is still not big enough for all three. So, we might as well use the small toaster oven that takes a 12 inch pizza and eat our pizzas one after the other.
