ET-ZLC30 Micom Toaster Oven

Last verified May 12, 2026 by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team

Zojirushi's Micom toaster oven is the higher tier countertop oven that uses a microcomputer ('Micom') to manage three independently controlled heating elements, top, bottom, and rear convection. The 'Micom' control is the same fuzzy logic approach Zojirushi uses in their rice cookers and breadmakers; it adjusts cycle timing and element power based on what's cooking. The interior holds 4 slices of bread or a 9" pizza, the included rotisserie bar handles a chicken, and the door is the Japanese seal tight design that keeps heat in better than US toaster ovens. r/Cooking and r/BuyItForLife threads consistently surface Zojirushi toaster ovens as the consensus 'spend the money for the Zoji' answer. Made in Japan to Zojirushi standards; replacement parts available from Zojirushi USA.
