Gadgets & Gizmos: Extra-Wide Convection Oven

Black & Decker Extra-Wide Convection Oven

When my oven stopped working early last year and I started using my small toaster oven in its place, I quickly learned a toaster oven can handle a lot of what I cook in a conventional oven. It is fine for a six-muffin pan or an 8-by-8 cake pan, but forget baking bigger things.

Enter the Black & Decker Extra-Wide Convection Oven. It has four functions -- bake, broil, toast and keep warm -- and can accommodate a 13-by-9-inch cake pan, a 12-muffin pan, eight slices of bread or a 12-inch pizza. There are three rack positions for cooking flexibility. The oven comes with a broiling rack and a baking sheet that can double as a crumb catcher or drip tray when you slide it into the lip underneath the broiling rack. Metal, glass or ceramic bakeware work equally fine, just not with a lid.

The extra-wide appliance can perform as an overflow oven during the holidays or other times you need more baking room. And it won't heat up the kitchen in the summer.
