Toasters & What Makes Them Best

 

 

Breakfast is the most important aspect of your meal, morning or the whole day itself and toasts are the most common prospect of it. Toasters are the basic essentiality of every kitchen and buying the right one is not as easy as it seems. Let's single out features that make the toasters, stand-out from the rest. 

 

The major Features: 

Uniform Shade: The most reliable toasters present a broad spectrum of browning, from extremely light to extremely dark. There should be a consistency (in texture, color, & size) running in all slices.  

 

Size: In a two-slice toaster, there is a choice of two slots or one long slot for two slices. There is also a four-slice model, though it is bigger, heavier, and consumes more energy but will definitely save time if you are always in a rush or have a big family. In case you want bigger slices, look toasters that have slots that are more than 5" deep. 

 

Defrost - This option defrosts and toasts bread simultaneously, downright from the freezer. Before coming straight to the toasting process, it will first defrost the slice. It’ll defrost the bread first and then switch straight to the toasting cycle. It is a standard-setting that you will find in most toasters. 

 

Extended warmth - If you are not ready for it, the toaster will keep your toast warm - this comes as standard in many. 

 

Pause: There is also a pause function for you to check the proceedings. You can lift the toasts up and toasting will resume once you lift it down. 

 

Easy to clean: The Crumb trays in toasters should be relatively easy to remove and clean. With the metal finishes, it is obvious that they attract fingerprints and dirt, the outer surface should be easy to clean. 

Other subtle add ons like Rotisserie, cancel option, convection heating, and self-adjusting guides will make your life a heck lot easier.
