No. Modeling clay contains oil that keeps it soft and never hardens. Polymer clay does not have an oil, it hardens when exposed to heat. polymer clays are often called "oven-bake clay"because you can make stuffs such as pendants, brooch, earings and other accesories using polymer clay by baking them in the oven. YES, i said oven. PLEASE be safe and never try to put them in the microwave.
No, clay is not poisonous in the oven. Clay is safe to use in the oven as long as it is not glazed with any toxic substances. It is important to use clay specifically designed for pottery and ensure it is fired at the appropriate temperature.
Tandoor is a CLAY OVEN which uses charcoal or gas to heat the clay pot and the radiant heat emitted from the walls of the clay oven cook the breads or the meats. Because the flames are not in direct contact of the food, it is more moist and tender and retains the flavours better. Tandoors are available in 3 basic types. 1. CLAY OVEN (Clay Tandoor) 2. Drum Tandoor (Clay Oven placed in a metal drum with some heat insulation's) 3. St. Steel Body Tandoors (Clay Ovens placed in a Steel framed body with industrial heat insulation) (Also available with Gas Burners) Conventional Tandoors use Charcoal as fuel but Gas fired option is also available although the food tastes much better when cooked with charcoal and fire wood. http://indiantandoors.com
The device used to heat clay is called a kiln. A kiln is a high-temperature oven that can reach temperatures necessary for firing clay and ceramics, transforming them into durable, hardened materials. There are various types of kilns, including electric, gas, and wood-fired, each suited for different firing processes.

I doubt a toaster oven would reach sufficient heat to bake clay. Contact a potter, or pottery society, who could be able to help you with alternative methods for baking clay. The link below has some recipes for small clay (bakers' dough) objects for making in a domestic kitchen.
