    Current thinking on toaster/craft ovens

    I've read the back threads on this subject, but I'm looking for an update and some new opinions. I am thinking of getting a small oven to put in my studio, not so much because I'm twitchy about using my food oven for PC, but because if I do that I can tend it and keep working.  I have a toaster oven in the kitchen that was modestly priced with a convection feature which has at least been reliable for food. I was thinking something like that might be good for PC (or I might even clean it up and then get a spanky new one for the kitchen.) I don't mind spending a bit on it, but I can't house a full-sized oven in the space.  What's the best small-oven choice for PC?  Are the ones labeled for PC actually any different from inexpensive toaster ovens?  My instinct is that a better-quality toaster oven is probably a better bargain and a better tool.

    I don't know about the ovens built specifically built for PC but for my experiments with PC I bought a Black & Decker toaster oven at Goodwill. I used an oven thermometer to get somewhat accurate temp readings rather than rely on the ones shown on the settings. The price was right for $7.50 and the thing was like new. I bought a new oven thermometer and I can't remember the price for that , but it wasn't much. I wouldn't mix food use and PC use in the same oven.

    no new opinions here, Deb, sorry. I had heard both good and bad about those pc-specific ovens. I use a Euro-Pro convection toaster oven in my studio and it seems to do a great job.
