What kind of fats? Cheese?
Butter and occasionally margarine. I'll see if I can clean it out -- from a quick look in there I'm not sure if I can get behind the heating elements, but I'll give it a go.

You could hit it with some Easy-Off or other oven cleaner if the heating elements are a problem.

put a stick of dynamite in there and light it. get out of the way. then go get a new one. unless it's some fancy pants toaster in which case try to take it apart and clean it.

I'd be worried about oven cleaner staying behind and getting baked into everything you put into the oven subsequent, but that's just me

the filaments/electrics in the toaster are in the walls so the juices would just fall into the drip tray, but probably some would splatter and short it
if it was just a thin steak (which it would probably have to be to fit neatly) then it might be cooked by then, at least to some degree

drip tray née crumb tray

I lined the tray with foil, rubbed a ribeye in olive oil and seasoning, then put it in the toaster oven for 20 minutes at 240F. Buttered a frying pan and set it on the stove, took out the steak, seared it for about 90 seconds each side in the pan, easily one of the best steaks I’ve had at home. Better than a lot of ribeyes I’ve had out if I’m being honest. Reverse sear is possibly the best method. I worry that my charcoal grill might hear me.

I tried to do a short rib dish in the toaster oven one (the only) time. It didn't turn out well.

A toaster oven is a (probably convection) oven and can be used in the same way as long as the food fits inside.

I have made foie gras in a toaster oven (very low heat in a water bath) and that was totally fine. I didn't have a terrine so just wrapped it into shape in saran wrap. I love toaster ovens so much.
