Can I substitute oven for toaster oven instructions?

When we traveled in our 5th wheel trailer for 18 months, we used a toaster oven in there whenever we hooked up to electricity. I cooked anything that would fit in there from roast chicken (halved) to cookies and pies. Since then I always use a toaster oven on the back porch in the summertime to keep the house cool when it's really hot outside.

We have a 2-burner hot plate we use out there as well so I can fix stir fry when it's hot. I've also made meat loaf and baked potatoes in the toaster oven on the back porch. We got rid of our regular toaster and swear by toaster ovens now.

My toaster oven now has 3 dials. The first dial (the top one) has on it Toast, Broil, Warm and Convection Bake. If you set it to toast, then you would put your toast directly on the rack.

The upper and lower elements will both be on to toast both sides of the bread. The Broil will have only the top element on. The warm and Convection Bake will have only the bottom element on.

The second knob (the middle one) has on it the temperature from 150 to 450. If you toast, set it on 450. If you broil, set it on 450.

If you set the top one on Warm, set the middle one on 150. If you set the top one on Convection bake, then set it to the temperature your recipe calls for (like cookies at 350 or 375. The bottom knob is the timer.

My instruction book said to turn the knob past the 20 minute mark and then turn it back to whatever time you want to set it. When I toast my bread, I crank it past 20 and then set it at about 7 minutes to toast the bread. If I'm cooking a steak (I generally cook it in the big oven on 400 at 10 minutes per side and then set it to broil to crisp up the fat), I turn it to the highest time (60 minutes) to keep the bake temperature going and time it on another timer.

When the timer on the toaster oven goes off or stops, it turns off the heat so you want to keep it going between different stages of cooking. A toaster oven takes a little longer to cook things than a large oven does so your cakes or cookies may take longer to cook than the recipe calls for. Hope that helps.

My toaster oven is an Oster but I'm sure your Black & Decker has something similar to that.

If its like most toaster ovens there should be a bake, broil and toast setting, a timer and a temperature setting. Hopefully it came with a grate, which you would lay your bread on for the toast setting,and a tray,which sits on top of the grate and is where you might put your chicken nuggets on the bake setting (use foil so you don't need to scrub the tray after every use). Its really like a tiny oven, frankly for my family of three I use it more than my actual oven.

I wouldnt suggest broiling an actual burger but for tuna or turkey melts and some fries or tater tots its awesome. It uses a fraction of the energy. Eventually you may want to broil a steak or roast a chicken in which case youll need a full size oven but you may find yourself attached to the toaster oven for small jobs.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
