Toaster= toast
Oven= baked bread slices

It's not the same result.

Toasters are designed to cook the exterior of the bread slice with adjacent heating elements on both sides of the bread that evenly distribute radiated heat that toasts the outside of the bread, leaving essential moisture inside.

Ovens bake the bread slice with a distant heating element that convects heat around the bread causing it to dry out as it cooks. This is not preferred.

Also, toasters are quicker. By the time you wait for the oven heat up, I'll already be done eating my toast.

What kind of nutjob is heating up a big oven for toast? I’ve heard it all now.

I'm not warming up my kitchen to toast a few slices of bread in an oven.

sigh.. I'm sorry, I erroneously assumed that anyone who posts on the food board must know how to use the broiler setting in their oven.

You butter the toast and put it on a cookie sheet. Move one of the racks in your oven to the slats that are nearest the top of the oven, which will be at most a couple of inches below the broiler element. Put the cookie sheet on the top rack. If you have a decent oven your toast will be ready in about 90 seconds.
