Product Information

Grills, again, vary massively. We test the grills' ability to heat evenly using a sheet of bread, then measure the colour deviation in the toast it produces. The mini oven with the best grill cooked 98% of the sheet fairly evenly, while the worst came out with a measly 55% browned, concentrating most of its heat towards the rear. Explore the convenience of a small electric oven that fits effortlessly into your lifestyle. Perfect for worktops, a table top oven is versatile enough to handle various cooking tasks, from baking and roasting to grilling. The keyword here is flexibility, and mini cookers provide just that, allowing you to experiment with different recipes without compromising space. Always remember to turn your mini oven off after use and keep it clean to prevent grease and food particle build-ups. As the name suggests, these are compact versions of conventional ovens and have similar capabilities, such as baking, broiling and toasting. However, some models come equipped with additional features like hobs, rotisseries, or even built-in air fryers, which can expand their versatility significantly. Toaster ovens

However, there's a big difference in the highest-rated mini ovens we've found and the lowest. Some mini ovens supply heat really well, allowing for perfectly risen cakes, and some will leave you with a flat and unappetising result. When we measured the temperature deviation across the top level of the oven cavity when set to 200°C, we found one model with a massive 50°C difference – perfect in the unlikely event you're cooking for two, and one of you prefers their half of the food burnt, but for most people this is going to be far from ideal. Our highest-rated models, for comparison, managed only small variations of less than 10°C.How much space do you have? We’ve found there’s no definite criteria for ‘mini’ among manufacturers. If you're in a compact space, measure your countertop area carefully to ensure the oven will fit comfortably.

Baking Mini ovens can also bake just as effectively as their full-sized counterparts. It might take a bit of practice to adjust to the smaller size, but with a bit of experimentation you'll be creating perfectly baked cakes and pastries in no time. If your mini oven doesn't have a convection feature, you may need to rotate your cake midway through baking to ensure even cooking. Also, remember to adjust the temperature as needed. Because mini ovens often heat up faster and run hotter than conventional ovens, you may need to lower the temperature slightly or shorten the baking time to prevent your bakes from burning or drying out.Reheating This feature is particularly useful for those living alone or students wanting a hot meal without using a larger, more energy-hungry conventional oven. Mini ovens, like any other electrical appliances, are safe when used correctly and responsibly. They should be placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from any flammable materials. There should be sufficient space around the oven to allow heat to disperse, preventing any potential fire hazards. How much can you spend? If you're on a tight budget, think about whether the mini oven will complement your existing kitchen setup, or if it will serve as your primary cooker. If you'd rather go for a larger and more traditional oven, our guide to the best built-in ovens has you covered. How much do mini ovens cost to buy and run? From a simple cheese toastie to a hearty Sunday roast, the mini oven is a small but mighty kitchen companion. Despite its compact size, it can comfortably perform a wide range of culinary tasks, making it a great addition to any kitchen.
