I didn’t grow up in a household that used a toaster oven. For toast, we used a standard toaster and anything else we put in the oven or microwave, or cooked on the stovetop. A few years ago my husband and I traded our small New York City apartment for a spacious home in the suburbs.
Heady with the amount of counter space in my new kitchen, I went on an appliance shopping spree and splurged on a Breville coffee maker , a Vitamix blender and a toaster oven from De’Longhi — the last of which quickly became my favorite cooking tool. It was faster than a standard toaster to preheat, and it also had air fry and broil functions. So, when I was offered the opportunity to test out the Tovala Smart Oven Pro , I was intrigued but skeptical it could beat the toaster oven I was already using.
Spoiler alert: It did. Below, you’ll find a more in-depth review of what my experience with Tovala’s Smart Oven Pro was like, plus other helpful information like pricing and functionality.
