Like the stereotypical Asian family (some people might not even know this stereotype, we Asians do), my family uses the oven for storage and ONLY storage, never baking. I'm too lazy to take out all the pots (and believe it or not, different kitchen materials too) then put it back in after baking (unless I make a cake).
I have a rather small toaster oven (pretty much standard though), and I was wondering if I could make cookies or brownies in it. I have a baking sheet big enough to make about 9 cookies, and the toaster oven most definitely has the settings to bake things, but I just want to know if I should use it or the real oven instead.
Can someone also explain to me by how you could flour a baking pan? I would just use Pam for the greasing, but I don't know how to flour a pan, I think I'd wind up with flour mainly in one spot and not enough in others.

I've made cookies in the toaster oven, but never brownies, but I imagine it would work. I'm not sure you want to go through the work of loading the pan over and over for an entire batch of cookies. If you like to freeze the cookie dough and make a couple at a time, the toaster oven works great for that!
As far as flouring the pan - you should only need to do that for baking a cake. You can use shortening (like Crisco) and spread it thinly over the entire surface. Sprinkle on some flour and tap the pan while tilting it to get it to cover all the surfaces. It takes a bit of shaking, tilting, and tapping to get the flour everywhere. I am not sure Pam will give even enough coverage to flour the pan - but I have never tried it. I always tap it over the sink to get rid of any excess at the end.

I used to live in a very small place that didn't have an oven. So I bought a toaster oven. It works well enough. You can practically use it to cook anything in small amounts.

Go get a microwave brownie mix and save yourself a lot of trouble.

So in the time you've taken to type this out you could have easily emptied out your oven?
