A countertop oven is a compact cooking appliance designed to fit on kitchen countertops. It combines the functions of a traditional oven and a toaster oven, allowing users to bake, broil, toast, and reheat food. These ovens are energy-efficient and often heat up faster than conventional ovens, making them ideal for small meals or snacks. Many countertop ovens come with various features, such as adjustable temperature settings, timers, and multiple cooking modes. They are suitable for a range of dishes, from pizzas to baked goods, and are popular among those with limited kitchen space or who want to save time while cooking.
