Just speaking for myself ....

Ever since I purchased a nice size counter-top convection toaster oven
a few years ago I very seldom us my oven -- except for storage of
aluminum bowls and a bunch of odds and ends.

My toaster oven is big enough for a 12 inch pizza (there is an
accommodating bulge in the back) and holds all my silicon baking
equipment including muffin pans. I bake cakes, do broiling, browning,
toasting, warming, etc. The convection aspect is GREAT and everything
is evenly heated.

Actually, I don't even use my stove top anymore as I purchased an
Induction Hob about 6 months ago and am amazed at how good it is. I
wouldn't go back to glowing heat coils. And is it fast! With built in
temperature control and timer I live a cooks dream.
