Ours replaces a toaster, mostly. There is very little that I cook in it
other than "broiling" open-faced cheese and tomato (occasionally with
bacon) sandwiches. Broiling things that spatter would make quite a mess
and they aren't that easy to clean. I've baked potatoes in one, and
used it to crisp the skins after nuking a potato, but that doesn't get
done often.

I guess if you are baking something quite small and don't want to heat
the big oven, it would be useful.

Do you have counter space for it? If nothing else you can use it for
teeny cupcakes with Twerp, I guess.
