Let The Broiling Begin

                  

It's been awhile since we've had a battle in Refrigerator Wars in the lunchroom at work, but there was some lunchroom drama last week.  It was all over a toaster oven.  About two years ago, I bought an almost-like-new toaster oven at a yard sale for a dollar, and brought it in to our lunchroom at work.  We had a toaster and two microwaves, but there's some things that need to be cooked in a toaster oven.  For example, everyone's favorite pizza rolls.  So I donated the used oven to our lunchroom.  People used it and it was fine until a few weeks ago, when a co-worker brought to my attention that the broil setting didn't work.  She'd asked her boss, the purchasing manager, if they could order a new one.  He said no, not as long as the current one still worked.  My co-worker must have worn her boss down, because last Thursday, we saw this huge oven on the counter top.  It was not just a new toaster oven - this is a toaster oven, convection oven and rotisserie, all rolled into one.  After reading the warning on the front of the oven (see photo above), we're all afraid to use it.
