A toaster oven includes a housing having an internal heating compartment, at least one heating element within the internal heating compartment, a vent associated with at least one wall of the internal heating compartment, the vent being moveable between an open position where air is permitted to pass into the internal heating compartment through the vent, and a closed position where passage of air into the internal heating compartment through the vent is inhibited. The vent is configured to move from the closed position to the open position in response to a biasing force exerted by a food support tray received within the internal heating compartment. La présente invention concerne un four grille-pain qui comprend un boîtier ayant un compartiment chauffant interne, au moins un élément chauffant à l'intérieur du compartiment chauffant interne, un évent associé à au moins une paroi du compartiment chauffant interne, l'évent étant mobile entre une position ouverte dans laquelle de l'air peut passer dans le compartiment chauffant interne à travers l'évent et une position fermée dans laquelle de l'air ne peut pas passer à l'intérieur du compartiment chauffant interne à travers l'évent. L'évent est conçu pour se déplacer de la position fermée à la position ouverte en réponse à une force de sollicitation exercée par un plateau de support d'aliment reçu à l'intérieur du compartiment chauffant interne.
