Toaster Oven Mods

Can you make one of these 110v toasters into a 220v? Wonder if the heating elements would work or not. I'd like to build a better tempering oven but 220v is more efficient
 
Not too sure why you would want to do that. My 110v table top oven heats up to 400F in about 15 minutes and, using a PID controller, holds a steady temperature. I did insulate it with Kawool and that helped stabilize the temp swings.
Converting a typical counter top toaster oven to 220v would likely entail rewiring the heating elements and increasing internal wire size.
 
Hi diverdale. Not sure if this is OK (Mods, feel free to delete if cross-posting is frowned upon), but here's a link to a good thread that might help answer any questions you might have.

I've tried cooking in one, for a number of things, and a toaster oven is pretty convenient. It helps keep the heat down during hot weather. If I can use it instead of the main oven, I'm all for it. I haven't done a whole lot of baking in mine, but my daughter uses hers for cupcakes, muffins, and small batches of cookies. Have your cake and eat it too... (baking without the extra heat from the main oven).

Yes, you can. Not sure how straight foward it'd be, though. American 240V is "split phase". It's two separate 120V legs with a common neutral wire. You could run all of the 120V electronics off of one leg or the other (best practice would be to spread the load between both legs).
