Right after Christmas, we moved our four-slice popup toaster to the fifth wheel, and replaced it with a Black & Decker Convection Toaster Oven. It takes up a bit more counter space, but where we have it, that space was going to waste anyway.
The toaster oven, a gift from our daughter, is great. With its multiple dials and settings, it is the culinary equivalent of a Swiss Army knife. So far, we have used it for toast, toasted cheese and other hot sandwiches, and have used it to bake biscuits and scones – and we have only scratched the surface of what the thing is capable of cooking.
It is a bit of a no-brainer, but the manufacturer does warn that the cabinet will get hot when in use. It also makes popping noises as the temperature changes cause the metal skin to expand and contract.
That is no problem, actually to be expected, but ---for the last two days in a row, at 2:30 in the afternoon, hours after it had cooled down and matched the ambient temperature in the kitchen, the darn thing has made a loud POP for no reason at all.
I think it might be possessed.
