Small benchtop ovens, also called toaster or compact ovens or glass convection ovens are a good alternative when you have a small amount of space and only need to cook small amounts. 

Through our testing, we reveal which toaster ovens:

• perform best at reheating pizza, roasting chicken and making toast
• are the easiest to use
• are the easiest to clean
• are safest

We’ve also partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.
