I did a similar dish using my toaster before I had an oven. I had to use sliced pork and do it a few times because it's easier for the tiny equipment and it's impossible to have too many pieces of pork or ribs in there. Yes, you can do this with a toaster but you have to check it more frequently in case it get burned to fast. If it's too hot, open the door.
We love this. It's like Char Siew 叉烧 aka Chinese BBQ Pork. Best to go with rice!
