Do they even make these anymore? Instead, this seems to be all there is out there:

That's funny. Did you see Wolf's toaster recomendation? It actually got decent reviews, but the reviewer said he needed to read the owner's manual to figure out how to make toast with it.

Fuck. That. The toaster is one item that doesn't need any "new, improved features" - it needs to do one thing, and one thing only.

Like any toaster you set the doneness, and push the lever. Interesting features on that one include a muffin warmer (those grids on the top), a bagel setting that actually works, and a soft eject, so that your toast doesn't go flying across the kitchen when it's done. The doneness is assessed based on humidity rather than temperature, so you can toast multiple slices in a row and get them right every time, rather than progressively lighter toast with the same setting.

I have this same toaster (where did the picture go? See reply #9), but in the 4-slice version. The only problem with it is that it is very slow. I have to start the breakfast toast before I go to bed, then hopefully it will be ready when the eggs are done the next morning. Plus, it uses more energy to toast 2 slices than did our old cheap toaster (I measured it using a Kill-A-Watt). Of course I read the toaster manual. But I didn't have to. I just like reading toaster manuals. |
