10 Easy Pieces: Compact Vertical Toaster Ovens from Japan

March 27, 2019

I’ve never liked the look of a typical toaster oven, and like the microwave, their size and function (with an opening door) means they’re difficult to hide. Japanese design solves this problem (of course!) with compact, simple-looking toaster oven boxes. The design is vertical, as opposed to the usual horizontal shape, taking up even less counter space. So good they’re worth the shipping—and the configuring of JP to US converters (most of these are made with a AC 100V power supply). Here are our favorites.
