A counter-top electric oven includes a head having an electric heating unit. The heating unit includes a heating lamp and a grill underlying the heating lamp. A motor powers two fans for circulating air around the motor, and through the heating unit. An oven body removably receives at least a portion of the electric heating unit, and is supported by a dish. The head, oven body and dish form an interior cavity for cooking food. An expansion ring may be disposed between the oven body in the dish to enlarge the cooking enclosure area. A base supports the dish on the flat surface, such as a counter-top. A holder is slidably connected to the base so as to be extended away from the base for supporting the head and oven body when these are moved to an open position.
