I live in Seoul and I own an oven. I know a dozen people around here that own ovens.

In the last week, I baked 3 apple pies, and a turkey. I'm hoping next to bake a turkey pie.

i have a toaster oven. it's pretty big though, about 33L i think. big enough to roast a decent sized chicken.

i mostly use it for baking rather than meals, but it's still handy.

Not anymore, but I did last year. Had to sell it when I moved to a smaller place.

I got a fairly large toaster oven. I've made countless pies, pizzas, casseroles, breads, and of course my daily toastie.

If it weren't for a lack of room, more than 1/3 of us would probably have an oven since our kitchen is very important even more so here than back home where a real kitchen is standard. I have a toaster oven on top of my microwave which is on top of my fridge in the single bedroom since the kitchen isn't big enough for any fridge or anything else. Stacking up and improvising is what you do with such limited space. An oven and a counter top over drawers and a cabinet with a 2 sided sink next to it along with a full sized fridge is the kitchen I want and need. Let's have ricotta cheese spinach lasagna for dinner.

I bought a new toaster oven for 15k won.

I was able bake small items regulary as well as make toast.

It was one of the best purchases I made in ROK.

I have a decent sized toaster oven. I can bake 6 muffins at a time or 1 loaf of bread. I want to make brownies but I can't find a pan that fits. Where do you find your bakeware for those of you with toaster ovens?
I guess I should check out Bangsan Market..

I made brownies, but used a thicker but smaller pan. Instead of thin, large ones, they were more cube-shaped. I believe I got my pan at homeplus.

My toaster oven is large enough to make a nice-sized chicken, though (even though I haven't done it).
