Well, my not-so-old counter-top toaster-oven, a cheap Rival model, is
nearly dead. So, it needs to be replaced very soon. The toaster-oven
is used frequently, often several times during the day since spouse and
I usually cook single portions.

I might also consider buying a replacement that is a bit more robust
than a simple toaster-oven, perhaps one that includes a 'convection'
option? But, I don't know much about convection cooking/baking at all.
What are the pros & cons, etc., for any particular toaster-oven,
especially if it includes convection? Is convection baking better? I'd
like to hear about first-hand experience about convection cooking if
possible. TIA.
