Toaster oven's are crap

[rob47]

If anyone noticed, alot of my posts end with "O crap my eggrolls are burning"

This is not a lie.  They really are. 

Usually it is because I'm home late at night and use my toaster oven to cook my 'President's Choice' (a popular brand in canada)  egg rolls.  However my stupid toaster oven never lets me know when it has preheated to 375 degrees celsius.  the light is always on!

so i just throw them in after 10 mintues and follow the instructions.  However they are rarely cooked right, even when i let them cook for 7 minutes, then flip them for another 7-8 minutes.

What am i doing wrong?

Toaster ovens suck.

yes!  when my hubby and i first married we ate stuff out of the toaster oven, too...and as you said - it didn't cook properly.  try the oven! 

great meals can come from crock pots once you tire of egg rolls.  you just put everything (veggies/potatoes/meat) in in the morning, and voi-la, you have dinner around four or five.

We lived in an apartment once that had an old (full-sized) oven. All the markings were worn off the dials, so there was no way to know the temperature you were setting. We put a mark on the dial where we thought 350 was...well, it wasn't quite right, so we put another...ended up with three 350 marks on the dial.  Bought an oven thermometer (a little stand-alone device) from the hardware store and used it.

Perhaps this is your problem.

true true... well you know what i mean, farenheit.

Either set the oven lower (350?) and bake less time, or-- if the egg rolls are not frozen-- try just flipping the toasting switch, like for bread, and don't set a temperature at all.  I bet two rounds of normal toasting would turn out pretty okay.  Good luck...
