Thanks for the advice. I'll borrow a toaster and see what happens. That particular circuit has the refrigerator, the kitchen lights, bedroom lights and anything in use in the bedroom (computer and a room heater on low). I think it's probably time I threw the table top oven away and got a new one. It's 15-20 years old, at least.
This sort of thing has always bothered me. Why can't they make the wiring be to where it can JUST HANDLE what's thrown at it? Stop making the wiring so wimpy and delicate to where it can't take anything.

DO you know anything about electricity? Sheesh.....

What I know is I like for things to JUST WORK like they're supposed to. I shouldn't have to have an electrical engineering degree and think about how many watts or amps or whatever there is with what I'm trying to do, I should be able to just plug it in and it JUST WORK. I mean, it's not like I'm trying to run a nuclear power plant in here, I'm just trying to operate a toaster and an oven or such. They should design the wiring to where if I want to plug in a toaster, a mixer, a lamp and a refrigerator at the same time then OH WELL just handle it. Don't tell me it's not possible, I don't believe that for a minute, not with all you see wired up in other places, OF COURSE it's possible. They just design them to such wimpy standards to where they're so fragile and you have to deal with so many unnecessary headaches.
