What is the difference between the toast, bake and broil settings on my toaster oven?
The toast and bake functions are virtually the same. Some models vary with pre-set temperatures, but both mean that the top and bottom-heating units will be active. Broil simply means that heat will only come from the top. Other options include convection style cooking, rotisserie, defrosting, dehydrating, etc. Check our explanation of different types of toaster ovens or the terminology section to find out more.
