I made banana bread as a birthday gift/party favor combo yesterday, but this time of year you won't often find me heating the big oven. This is when the counter-top toaster oven comes into it's own. For larger meals the portable convection oven or even the roaster oven can be placed on a table outside the kitchen door so the heat is dissipated out-of-doors. I have a small terracotta charcoal grill I sometimes set up for making enough chicken or sausage or burgers to use for a couple of meals. The big gas grill needs work (I suspect mud dauber wasps or other nesting-in-skinny-places wasps plugged a gas line). Then there is the metal barrel charcoal grill tucked into the garage that comes out sometimes for large orders, like when I buy a case of Hatch chili peppers and need to roast them. That'll come up in August or September (and I usually let the store roast them now since it doesn't cost me any extra and it's a lot of work).
