A:Answer I got the larger one and am so glad I did. It was on sale at the time. I use it for baking (banana nut bread), reheating, and for cooking small frozen pizzas and other frozen foods. I also use it for toast and for keeping food warm, e.g., pancakes. It takes a lot less time to preheat and the heat serves as a convection oven because of the close proximity of the food to the heat source. I live by myself although I often have my grandkids and other relatives/visitors over quite often. This really comes in handy when you want to prepare something quick for them and you don't want to or can't use the microwave.
