If you think countertop ovens are oversized toasters, think again. The latest countertop oven technology means these minis can bake meals as well as your full-sized oven — and some dishes even better. Many models also replace other appliances like air fryers and convection ovens. While performance and finding the right size for your space are undoubtedly important factors in choosing a model, I recently discovered another aspect that my fellow ET Shop writers and I also truly value — the cute factor. Before your eyes roll, hear me out.
Countertop ovens stay on your counter and are not likely to get shelved like other small kitchen appliances. This means they become part of your decor. Why waste space with something not aesthetically pleasing? There is no going back once you have an eye-candy toaster oven that browns, toasts and bakes like a pro.Â
The Wonder Oven
Having earned the moniker of ‘Easy Bake Oven’ on social media, the Wonder Oven is my personal pick, and I’ll tell you why: It wows with its outstanding combination of small counter footprint, surprisingly fast and delicious cooking, and (of course) adorableness. A few of us own it, love it, and can’t stop telling our friends about it. It cooks at lightning speed compared to a full-size oven and crisps sweet potato fries and flatbreads better than a big one. Some foods, remarkably, taste better cooked in the Wonder Oven. It’s made without the potentially toxic chemicals some small appliances use. They also make cherished housewarming or back-to-school dorm gifts.Â
Below, we found more of the cutest countertop ovens for you to shop. Besides the convenience of not heating your whole home in summer like a regular-sized oven does, they are practical and perfect for RVs, dorms and smaller kitchens. Each has special features, whether the capacity to bake artisan bread with steam or a smart-home capable voice-activated one, so you can shop for one that is right for you. Some are even on sale at Amazon right now. Scroll on to shop the best below.Â
