Toaster Oven Perfection: A Smarter Way to Cook on a Smaller Scale

Description:

Take your toaster oven from sidekick to superhero with 100+ streamlined recipes that save time and energy and make your cooking life easier.

If you've found yourself only using the toaster oven to toast bread or heat up leftovers, your toaster oven is woefully underutilized. A toaster's abilities are myriad (it can do many things a regular oven can do, and some even air fry), and ATK shows you how to tap into them, from making mini meatloaves, pizza, and a whole roast chicken, to baking individual ramekin desserts. Whether you are a habitual host, the owner of a new toaster oven, or someone with limited space, this is the book for you.

Our sheet-pan dinners for two take advantage of every inch of your toaster oven's pan and makes your main dish and sides in one go (think Pork Tenderloin with Green Beans). Or, enlist your toaster oven to...
  • Roast up a vegetable side dish (no jostling for oven space) with recipes for Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and more
  • Bake easy appetizers like wings, empanadas, and granola (tastier and fresher than store bought)
  • Make meals with a range of serving sizes; feeding 1 person to as many as 8
  • Embrace the joys of small-batch baking with freeze-and-bake cookies and scones: bake off a couple at a time and they'll always come out hot and fresh.

We draw upon our extensive testing of toaster ovens to help you navigate the variety of models and recipes were tested across a range of models to ensure it will work in yours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book

J.L.C. · September 26, 2025

Checked this book out at the library and loved it so much, I had to buy a copy. Love the recipes and ideas for using a smaller appliance that takes less energy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect answer when a conventional oven isn't available.

K. · August 23, 2025

This was a gift for a family member in an assisted living facility. They are not allowed to have conventional ovens. This was a perfect gift and we have been told of several of the recipes are so good, they have been shared with other residents. Thank you for the perfect gift!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Cookbook

I.B.R. · August 15, 2022

This is a nice cookbook from ATK's. It's informative, well written and has some great recipes. With that said, it wasn't what I was looking for. I was more interested in smaller size baking recipes as I find those a bit more challenging to downsize in quantity. It was a bit disappointing that the cookie recipes were for full size recipes with the suggestion of scooping the remaining dough onto a cookie sheet to freeze and use at a later time. Well, I can figure that out for myself. Same with the scone recipe. Most of the main meal recipes, I could figure out how to downsize on my own, so in the end, even though this was a nice cookbook, I returned it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just a Toaster Oven Cookbook!

g. · February 23, 2021

Just the info in the front of the book and doing the suggested things alone was worth it. Then I tried some recipes, everything has turned out wonderful and this cookbook is totally worth it.First, I want to say that I have the oven pictured on the cover and it is not just a toaster oven. It is a mini convection oven with multiple settings and uses and totally worth the price. Breville makes a very well designed and useful product, the more I use it, the less I turn on my full-sized oven. I love to think about the savings to my electrical bill.Second, the suggestions to buy a set of racks and certain pans to use for the recipes are worth it. I don't know why, but I did not have pan without handles that fully fits inside the Smart Oven and now that I do, I'm wondering how I lived without it!I have tried the recipe for the Cheese Manicotti, Baked Ziti, Egg Sandwiches, and Loaded Baked Potatoes and a few others that I cannot recall right now. They all turned out excellent and were fairly easy to do.Last nite I baked chicken hindquarters with a rub on them in the Smart Oven because I now feel confident using the oven more, thanks to this cookbook. Now I don't have to turn on my full sized oven nearly as much and I can cook most of my meal in the Smart Oven instead :)

5.0 out of 5 stars ATK hits another home run

M. · February 23, 2022

I recently purchased the Breville Smart Oven that ATK coincidentally scores highest in their reviews of toaster ovens at the beginning of the book. I live alone in a rental, so I generally cook small meals and have a rental oven that works ok, but can’t be trusted to heat reliably (oven thermometers prove that). Although I can adopt lots of recipes to my oven, I wanted to see what my trusted chefs at ATK had for me in this book.Things to know about this book:-I previously had a smaller, traditional toaster oven that cost about 30 bucks and could hold about two pieces of toast at a time. My new one can hold a small frozen pizza and probably a roast chicken. And that’s really the size of toaster oven that will benefit most from the recipes here. The book recommends using a 13x9 baking sheet and baking pan for many recipes, so consider if this makes sense to you.-Many recipes are scaled down (geared toward servings of two versus a more traditional 4, for example) but you’re often given advice about how to adapt if you want to cook for more servings.-I find cookbook reviews on Bolo vary greatly depending on what the reviewer is used to cooking/eating (“recipes are too fancy!” And “recipes are boring” on the same book!). Here are some sample recipes in the book to help you know what’s in here:-Weeknight Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Thyme-No-Boil Baked Ziti-Baked Crostini w/Oven Jam and Brie-Chicken Souvlaki-Moroccan Fish and Couscous Packets-Glazed Meatloaf-Easy Chicken EnchiladasGenerally, this has a great variety of recipes if you like what ATK offers - meat and fish mains with one or two variations on each, casseroles, desserts, breakfasts, sides, and some small batch baking. Most importantly, the recipes include what I love most about ATK books, which is a “why” behind each recipe - why we added oil here, why we have you toast the panko crumbs before coating the meat there. To me, this helps you become a better cook and understand what was changed in adapting a simple recipe like chicken Parmesan to the toaster oven that could help you adapt other recipes that aren’t in this book to the toaster oven.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my "Easy Bake Oven" in the shop!

B.J.M. · July 28, 2024

"Toaster Oven Perfection: A Smarter Way to Cook on a Smaller Scale" is a valuable resource for making the most of a multipurpose toaster oven. With its guidance on adjusting cooking times and tackling smaller recipes, it’s been instrumental in optimizing the performance of my "Easy Bake Oven." This book has helped simplify meal prep and ensure perfect results every time, making it a great companion for efficient and effective cooking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!!

K.C. · March 11, 2021

Filled with easy recipes utilizing a toaster oven. The preference (a complete discussion as to brands and types of toaster ovens and suitable pans, etc is in the book.) as to size and wattage is the Breville (also sold by Bolo) stainless oven. Dinner for two to four (or breakfast or lunch) is simplicity itself. Recipes developed by the magicians at America’s Test kitchen. We almost never use the two big wall ovens we have, holidays excepted.This splendid cookbook has become one of my favorite hostess/thank you gifts.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for me

F.C. · August 20, 2025

Very nice book. Informative and detailed. I've looked at/read all the recipes. I only find three that I might use. Most are just too fancy for the average person looking to cook something simple. For me, it's a waste of money. I live too far from a return place. So I guess I'm stuck with recipes I will not use. Wish I had my money back. It's just not for me.

Exactly what I was looking for.

T.W. · October 3, 2023

Better recipes than most books

A Must!

E.c. · July 6, 2021

I have made many of these recipes and they are excellent. I love my Breville oven and have had one for years. This book is an excellent add on.

Cooking for one in a Toaster Oven

J.W. · September 16, 2021

I live in a retirement home and am allowed a toaster oven. I enjoy reading recipes that I can make for one person.

Love the book

L. · March 14, 2021

Many good recipes, I did not know that all those recipes was able to be done in a toaster oven. I always did simple recipes in it and now I have lots of choices.

Useful book
