Countertop Ovens Are Versatile Kitchen Essentials

You may know this kitchen standby as a toaster oven, but that really undersells what this workhorse can do. Sure, you can use it to make a piece of toast or six, but you can also use it to reheat leftovers, broil fish or bake a pie. Some of these incredible appliances are even capable of roasting a 14-pound turkey!

The Options

The countertop ovens in Williams Sonoma's collection range from the basic to the super deluxe, so no matter your needs, space and budget, you'll be able to find the perfect fit for your kitchen. Regardless of which brand and model you select, you'll be amazed by the oven's versatility and efficiency. These countertop ovens heat up fast and distribute heat evenly. That means dinner is on the table in record time, well before the kitchen gets too hot to bear.

Even the most basic toaster oven in the Williams Sonoma collection can bake, broil and toast. The most compact model has room for a 12-inch pizza and up to six slices of bread, making breakfast for a crowd a snap. As you move toward the higher-end ovens, you'll find more high-tech features and cooking modes. For example, Breville's Smart Oven has 13 preset functions, which include air fry, dehydrate and slow cook. Wolf Gourmet's Countertop Oven Elite features a built-in temperature probe that ensures that meat gets cooked to your preferred internal temperature with no need to open the oven door to check progress.

Some of the trusted brands of countertop ovens carried by Williams Sonoma:

• Breville
• Calphalon

Make the Most of Your New Favorite Appliance

In order to take full advantage of your toaster oven, you'll want to make sure that you have all of the necessary accessories. Look for cookie sheets and pizza stones that are perfectly sized to fit in your countertop cooker. You'll also find mesh baskets that slide right into your toaster oven and are ideal for getting perfectly crisp fries and popcorn chicken.
