I'm always looking at new methods to cook in the truck and was researching air friers. I found out they're basically dedicated convection ovens so I figured I'd look at convection toaster ovens.
Has anybody looked into the skin temperature of a toaster oven for truck use? I'm mostly concerned about if I put it where the microwave is now that it'll melt the cupboards or the vinyl sleeper curtain. I'm in an international LT, basically a Prostar.
It would open up a whole new world of cooking possibilities. Oven cooked chicken, roasted vegetables, or even pizza. I don't know. Just spitballing at this point.
Of course the one thing I want that I can never have is a better food prep area.

Don't forget those perfectly baked potatoes.
I use a toaster oven almost daily. The outside never gets hot enough to damage anything.
Same truck as well. I use a small unit I got from Walmart.86scotty and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
My toaster oven gets hot on the outside. I let the cord touch the back of it, and it melted. I think as long as it’s not touching the plastic, it’s will be ok.
86scotty Thanks this. -
If there is air space around it there is no problem, unless you let things like the cord stay in direct contact.

We put some fire proof insulation around the cupboard with enough airspace to allow it to vent been using for a year now no problems.

Instapot....75% of everything I eat is from the little instapot. It even say yes and makes rice and hard boiled eggs....
Cold outside except over the steam vent.
Whatcha cooking in the toaster?homeskillet Thanks this. -
I was thinking of using an oven for roasting veggies and making chicken, but there's so many options with it. I'm pretty ADD when it ces to cooking and always have to think for a while if I'm not just grilling steaks or pork chops on the griddle. Figure I need to start expanding my dinners from just meat as well.homeskillet Thanks this. -
I use a propane grill and wrap veggies in a foil packet. Cook fish and lamb and just about everything on a grill in nice weather.
Colder weather I cook in truck with a insta pot -

Weird I was just thinking about this about an hour ago. Little different strategy though. Thinking if I get a deep baking pan and some tinfoil, I could baling wire it to my valve cover and have a nice roast waiting for me at my destination.
