Is a toaster oven worth it?

My dad insults and punches me whenever he sees me so I don't like spending time outside my room. I can cook carbs quickly because of oatmeal and pressure cookers but meat requires using a pan in the kitchen for about 30min.


I keep a fridge in my room and am planning to buy a small pressure cooker and maybe an oven so I won't have to leave my room except to wash my dishes.

Using the toaster oven, I can simply place the meat on a plate, add some salt/spices and wait for a while. Not using a pan also means that I can spend less time outside washing stuff. If I use this (small) oven will I be able to do most of my cooking in my own room?
 
I never use my toaster oven for anything except what it implies, to toast and heat mainly breads. If the one you are thinking about is anything like mine, it would not cook raw meats to the point of safety without making them too hard and tough.
Some pre-cooked meats or bacon can be cooked in a microwave oven.
Many things can be heated or cooked in a microwave. I use mine every
day for some things.
Air fryers are a good multi-purpose way to cook also if you don't have use of a stove top or regular stove oven.

I'm really sorry to hear how your dad treats you. It's abuse.
The type of abuse I would never put up with personally. I would seek intervention for help from a social worker or the government help offered before being physically punched. I do wish you the best and hope you can find some help for your situation.
