Toaster/Toaster Oven

Asked by Eager2Learn · July 9, 2009 · Kashrut

Question

This is the second time I'm asking this question...please respond as soon as possible. I have recently bought a toaster oven that also functions as a conventional toaster (by Hamilton-Beach). From what I've read, ovens need not be toiveled but toasters do. In this case...since the bread is being lowered into the "oven area" do I need to toivel the appliance or do I treat it like an oven. Is there anything else I can do to Kasher this appliance. Also, the Toaster/Oven temperature can be set as high as 450 degrees F.

sell it to a non-jewish friend/neighbor./housekeeper for a dollar and let her leave it in your house for you to borrow. THat is the best trick for items that don't dip well in water. AA
