[One of my extra slices of toast for the line eater.]
I've had the gimmes for a microwave for awhile, so, tonight I went
shopping. Only, instead of a microwave, I got a GE Omni, which is a
combination small microwave, broiler, baker, microwave&baker, toaster.
Sooooo cuuuuute, I couldn't resist. I've tried microwaving coffee
(okay) and making toast. It takes 4 minutes to produce a piece of toast
that's VERY dry, not brown, warm but not warm enough to melt
butter when set for 1 slice of medium toast. So, I tried the
microwave&bake combo and after 2 minutes got about the same thing.
It isn't a patch on a real toaster. Is this what a toaster oven
normally does to toast? Or, is this thing broke? (At least they have
a 60 day exchange policy if it's a Mistake.) I seem to recall someone
asking recently about dehydraders -- have I got a pointer for you.....

I've had a GE toaster oven for 6 years now; it works like a champ! It's a little slower than a toaster, but not much, and it toasts pretty well. It sometimes leaves lines on the bottom side of the toast, but I like it nonetheless. It works well enough that I haven't considered looking for a toaster. --Lynn ...lll-crg!figmo
