It's hard to fathom how this undersized appliance could ever produce dinner for two, let alone a holiday feast. I guess you'd have to prepare one dish at a time—and keep the wine flowing during those prolonged gaps between courses.

But far be it from me to nitpick the progenitor of the toaster—or maybe the Easy-Bake?—oven.
