How we countedThe count uses each product's current fit ratings for “Same toast result every busy morning”, “Takes up little space on a crowded counter”, and “The basic oven jobs, at a modest price”. A need with no documented match is not counted.
How we calculatedFigures are the largest round pizza the maker explicitly says fits the cavity. Pan shape and rack clearance still play a part. The median draws on the 16 of 26 models that publish comparable figures.
