How to choose a countertop oven
Compare countertop ovens by the pans you use, the space you have and the way you cook.
Start with your largest pan
A capacity rating in litres describes volume. It does not tell you whether a specific pan will fit. Measure the pan, including its handles, and compare it with the oven’s usable interior and door opening.
Check the space around the oven
Measure the counter and check how far the door opens. Leave the ventilation clearance specified in the model’s manual and make sure the controls remain within reach.
Choose controls that suit your routine
If you mostly toast or reheat, check the basic temperature and timer settings. If you bake often, compare the rack positions, available heating modes and the supplied accessories for the models you are considering.
