dmann,
I've owned a slew of Toaster Oven Broilers. My former models of choice were made by Black and Decker. I own one of the following:
And I also own a Brevelle Smart Oven. The large model, not the compact version.
The Black and Decker served me very well for toast, baking (corn bread, pizza, chicken breasts and cutlets, etc) and broiling (shrimp, chicken wings, etc). I definitely recommend the model in the link. We had an awesome oven in our old apartment and didn't need to use the B&D that often but, the convection oven worked well when we used it. However, it cannot under any circumstances compete with the Smart Oven.
My wife and i recently moved and we hate the broiler in the oven in our new apartment. Hate it! Hate it! Hate it! We bought the Brevelle Smart Oven primarily for broiling. However, it's such an amazing kitchen tool that we use it for regular cooking, too. I use it for baking, broiling, roasting, just heating stuff up. You name it. The Brevelle is expensive but absolutely unfrickenreal good! Use your 20% off coupon at Bed Bath and Beyond and the price drops to $200 plus tax. Some of the best money we've spent in years!
We have the larger version of the Brevelle. I can't speak for the smaller version but if you have the counter space in your kitchen, I'd go for the large model. We use it just as much as our regular oven.
The following 1/4 sheet jelly roll pan fits perfectly in the larger brevelle:
This is our "go to" pan for baking in the Brevelle. Fits perfectly, works well and worth every penny. Great size to have even for use in a regular oven.
FWIW, my wife and I rarely used the B&D for making toast. We used it for actual cooking and heating food up. We use the Brevelle nearly as much as our regular oven. It's that good.
