Toast, bake, and broil for one or two without heating up the big oven.

At a Glance

• Capacity: 9 liters, 4 slices of toast or an 8 in pizza
• Functions: Bake, broil, toast, and roast on one dial
• Timer: 60-minute timer with a ready bell and indicator light

• Footprint: 14 in deep, 11 in wide, 9 in tall, 6.5 lb

The Better Chef IM-256B is a compact 9-liter toaster oven broiler that handles the everyday jobs a full-size oven is overkill for: four slices of toast, a tray of reheated leftovers, an 8-inch pizza, or a small batch of cookies. The black body with a stainless steel front takes up 11 inches of counter, and the dial controls mean there is nothing to program.

Key Features

• Four functions, one dial: Bake, broil, toast, or roast by turning the function knob, then set the temperature and the timer. There is no menu to learn.
• 60-minute timer with bell: Set the time, walk away, and the bell rings when it is done. The indicator light shows the oven is on so you never wonder whether you turned it off.
• Quartz elements heat fast: Quartz heating elements come up to temperature quickly, so a slice of toast or a slice of leftover pizza does not turn into a 15-minute wait.
• Slide-out crumb tray: The crumb tray slides out from the front for a quick dump and wipe. No flipping the oven upside down over the sink.
• Tempered glass door: Watch the cheese bubble without opening the door and dropping the temperature inside.
• Cool-touch exterior: The housing stays comfortable to touch on the outside while the interior runs hot, a real plus in a tight dorm or office kitchenette.
• Bake pan, rack, and handle included: The pan, the slide-out wire rack, and a tray handle ship in the box, so you are cooking the day it arrives.

What's Included

In the box: one Better Chef IM-256B 9-liter toaster oven broiler in black with a stainless steel front, one bake pan, one slide-out wire rack, and one tray handle.

Before You Buy

• This is a compact 4-slice oven that fits an 8 in pizza, not a 12 in one. The interior is sized for four slices of bread, a personal pizza, or a small bake pan of leftovers. For family-size frozen pizzas you need a larger countertop oven.
• It uses a simple dial timer and stay-on setting, with no convection, air fry, or digital controls. You get bake, broil, toast, and roast on manual knobs. That is the whole point: fewer parts to fail and nothing to program.
• The oven and its pan are hand wash items. Wipe the interior with a damp cloth once it cools and wash the bake pan and rack in the sink with warm soapy water.

Perfect For

• Dorm rooms, studio apartments, and office kitchenettes with limited counter space
• Reheating pizza and leftovers so they come out crisp instead of soggy
• Toasting four slices of bread or bagel halves at once
• Broiling a couple of open-faced sandwiches or melting cheese on nachos
• Baking a small tray of cookies or biscuits without preheating a full oven
• RVs, cabins, and second kitchens where a full range is not an option

Care & Use

• Unplug the oven and let it cool completely before cleaning.
• Slide out the crumb tray after every few uses and wipe it clean.
• Wash the bake pan and wire rack by hand with warm soapy water; do not put the oven body in water.
• Wipe the interior and the glass door with a damp cloth; skip abrasive pads that scratch the finish.
• Leave at least 4 inches of clearance around the oven and never run it under a cabinet with the door open.
• Use the included tray handle to pull the hot rack and pan out.
