Did you know?
- While オーブントースター is used for baking, many Japanese households use a separate 魚焼きグリル (fish grill) drawer under the stove, as a toaster oven is often considered insufficient for grilling fish.
- Japanese culinary culture uses the オーブントースター for 'toast pizza', a popular quick snack where toppings are added to a slice of bread and toasted until melted.
- In Japan, the process of browning bread in an オーブントースター is often described using the word 焼く (yaku), which is the same verb used for grilling meat or firing ceramics.
