Lisa, what about a table top convection oven?

There are lots of them out there now.  One, would you believe, even includes
a built in breadmaker and jam-maker.  @@

I have one that I bought back in the 70s and I wouldn't trade it for all the
new stuff in the world.  They also make great dehydrators, which is what I
use mine for most of the time.
