Sparkfun has a nice toaster controller here. http://www.sparkfun.com/products/81
I tried it for the first time a month ago, and it seemed to do very well. One thing I did notice when I hooked it to my Oster, is that for the cooling profile, there is no way that a toaster oven will cool down fast enough to follow the temp profile of Kester! What I did to keep the parts from getting too cooked is crack the door open and try to keep the actual temp close to the desired. Since these are displayed together on the LCD, this made it doable. I have not read anything about this being a problem in the couple of toaster oven write ups I have seen. Anyone else run into this, or solved it?
