This isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, but a few months ago we had to buy a new toaster oven and I went online to find reviews. They pointed me, surprisingly, to an infrared toaster oven by Panasonic (this one: https://shop.panasonic.com/kitchen-and-home/kitchen-applianc...). It is phenomenal. Fast, even toasting and even baking. The controls kinda suck—they feel like they’re from the 1970s—but it works incredibly well.

Tip for crappy membrane input like microwave ovens, you can buy little silicone half dome feet that stick over the pads and make them much more tactile and easy to press.

I've put one over the "start" button on my microwave as it will do 1 minute increments which is fine for heating up water and other stuff.

At least it's no touchscreen. Happy to read about auto shut off else one is bound to burn some bread with that. I see two caveats : 1. You have to flip your bread if you want to toast both side. 2. It's a bit big for an appartment the size of mine
