Most toaster ovens have three knobs: temperature, time, and a series of what sound like discrete settings (bake, toast, broil, etc.) but are actually a graduated spectrum for heat distribution to the top vs. bottom heating coil. Pretty much a perfect UX (though you could toss out the heat-distribution names), and makes me wish that everything else—actual ovens, actual toasters, and microwaves—shared it.
