Pop It in the Toaster Oven: From Entrees to Desserts, More Than 250 Delectable, Healthy, and Convenient Recipes: A Cookbook

This cookbook was given to me as a gift with a new toaster oven. I have tried several of the recipes (such as a pesto baked chicken, baked eggs, and a few others) and found them quite good. I'm most impressed with the focus on fresh, healthy (non-processed) ingredients, which isn't always the case in a cookbook geared towards convenience. Since this is my first toaster oven, I also appreciate the tips at the beginning of the cookbook for cooking in a small oven, including suggested times and temperatures for many common foods. It's a great resource.

This cookbook is great. So far all the recipes have turned out really good and were easy to make. The only problem I have had is trying to figure out how the oven rack should be placed for each recipe so it cooks properly. So far I have figured it out mostly but it would be easier if the recipes suggested the best oven rack position for cooking. The toaster oven experience is very new for me and my family and we never owned one growing up so I am a new user and could use all the help I can get. I love the little tips and suggestions in the book too. I purchased this with my toaster oven b/c of all the great reviews. I am so glad I got it. It is wonderful.

This book is perfect. The recipes are concise, have many to choose from and always are developed with your health in mind. The author also shares some insight to how, where and when the recipes were created. Congratulations Lois on a wonderful book!

With turkey taking up the oven this thanksgiving I tried the "Yogurt Zucchini with Onion" recipe and was amazed with the simplicity of the process. I found it nice to be able to put something together and forget about it for a while. By cooking the dish in my toaster-oven (which usually sits unused) I had time to vacuum and straighten up the living room before my guests arrived - without having to stand over the stove and stir. Further, the baking made the dish extra flavorful and healthy. I'm planning on freeing my toaster oven from bagel-boredom and venturing on to some more recipes...

Can an author review her own cookbook? Well, let me just say that when I was approached with the idea to write a cookbook for toaster ovens, I thought it was a silly idea--because I didn't know anything about toaster ovens. Two years later, testing over 300 recipes and doing alot of research with this amazing little appliance, I am convinced that the toaster oven is indeed one of domestic technologies' best kept secrets! I found out that the toaster oven can do stir-fries, carmelize, sautees, and soups! The recipes are all geared to combining all ingredients and putting it in the toaster oven--freeing up time to go do something else until the dish is done to perfection! I you've got a "full plate" schedule, you'll love this book!
