Features of a Simple Toaster

A toaster is a simple and small kitchen appliance, yet they include many features that will help deliver the perfect slice of toast. Check out some of the available features that can make even the most basic toaster, an amazing kitchen tool.

Features of a Toaster

Two Slices or Four Slices?

Depending on how many people live in your household and how fast you want to make toast, you will need to decide between a two-slice or four-slice toaster. Four-slice toasters take up more counter space, but they will deliver more toast quickly.

 

Basic Toaster Features

Defrost Settings

This is a great feature for people who want to toast bread that has been frozen to preserve it. It creates a slower and lower toasting time that helps the bread thaw before toasting.

Heating Controls

For better toasting control and safety, toasters can feature options that allow you to control the level of heat and time of a toasting cycle.

Toaster Slot Controls

Some toasters allow you to control each toasting slot or a pair of toasting slots, which is extremely useful if you are toasting more than one type of bread at the same time.

Removable Crumb Tray

Removable crumb trays are a great way to keep your toaster clean. They should be easy to remove and clean.

User-Friendly

A great toaster will feature user-friendly functions like power cord storage and non-slip feet. This makes them easy to use in the kitchen.

Toaster Buying Guide

Exterior Design

Looks aren’t everything, but an exterior design that is easy to clean and looks great is perfect for a good toaster. Keep in mind, stainless steel may look great, but it is a little tougher to clean.

Toaster Chamber Size

There is nothing more frustrating than trying to fit a bagel into a small toaster chamber. Make sure that your toaster features a chamber that is large enough to accommodate all of your variety types of bread.
