There’s nothing simpler than a slice of toast — and nothing more telling when it comes to precision. That’s why we put the Wonder Oven Pro to the test. Our goal? To give you a no-guessing, foolproof guide to achieving your perfect shade of golden brown.

How We Tested

We didn’t just toss bread into the oven and hope for the best — we ran controlled tests to make sure our results reflect real use. Each slice of plain white bread was placed directly on the wire rack, centered on the middle shelf. After every run, we let the oven cool completely before starting again so there was no leftover heat to skew the results.


We first tested the toast function in ovens without a convection fan, running slices at 350°F and 375°F. What we saw: slow heat-up times (6–8 minutes to reach set temperature) and only subtle color changes, even after long cycles. Toast turned dry and hard before it could reach a satisfying golden finish.


Then we moved to the Wonder Oven Pro with its convection fan–assisted toast mode. Here’s where things clicked. At 400°F, the fan circulated hot air evenly, helping the oven heat up quickly and toast slices with visible, reliable changes in color minute by minute. It was consistent, fast, and — most importantly — delicious.

The Four Levels of Toast Perfection

Here’s the no-fail guide we landed on. Using the Toast function at 400°F with convection fan, middle rack placement:

Pro tip: Go past 6 minutes and the bread becomes overly dry — not ideal for most uses.

Why the Wonder Oven Pro Wins

The Wonder Oven Pro’s convection fan–assisted toast mode, steam infusion technology, and quartz heating elements make all the difference. You get precision control, faster preheat, and consistent results slice after slice — something traditional toasters and ovens just can’t match.

This isn’t just about toast. Use this guide as a starting point for avocado toast, bruschetta bases, or soup-ready croutons. Once you find your perfect shade, the Wonder Oven Pro makes it repeatable every single time.
