Tech Issue Electric Toaster Oven Power Requirement?

I am interested in squeezing the maximum out of a toaster oven. A large unit capable of holding an entire hen minus it's insulation and appendages.

Pretty big no question.

But researching via internet is a pain on steroids...

  • I am dealing with 15-amp duplex receptacle connections
  • And flaky voltages
  • This means digital SMART ovens are to be avoided like the plague
  • Manually set controls
  • A wireless temp probe for low voltage or super nova high voltage
  • I need a brand name hint
  • Why is it so @#$%&! hard to find ads that display electrical requirements?
  • Do the big units use 1,875 watts i.e. 15-amps?


Thank you in advance

If the wall juice is flakey, canโ€™t you just run it through a PSW UPS?

My Crusinart TOB155 takes a 12" X 12" tray with 5" of clearance above it. Rated wattage is 1500 watts, although in use it draws slightly less. No temperature probe, but i have baked pies & cooked small chickens & roasts in it. I don't believe they are still making them, but they have an equivalent - maybe the TOB 195?

The temp probe is aftermarket. Cooking by selectricity in Mexico is miss miss hit miss miss miss, without instrumentation. Microwave heating is another venture straight from the bottom of the rabbit hole. But campground AC connections are sure death for appliance circuit boards. Low voltage flickering say, 40-90 volts is not uncommon.

I doubt you'll find any that are truly 1800 watts, outside of a commercial device, due to NEC continuous duty de-rate on branch circuits. I think it's 85%, so a 15 amp is de-rated to 13 for continuous duty ... which means manufacturers are limited to 1500 watts.

Not a smart oven but has a wireless temperature probe? Those sound like mutually exclusive options.

Big enough to hold a hen? Something like the NuWave convection cooker comes to mind. (1500 watts)
