Mrs. Ironworker wants a new toaster. There are a bunch on the internet. I am curious what the Sig Forum members think? | ||

I've always wanted a Dualit, but they're stupid money. _________________________ "Age does not bring wisdom. Often it merely changes simple stupidity into arrogant conceit. It's only advantage, so far as I have been able to see, is that it spans change. A young person sees the world as a still picture, immutable. An old person has had his nose rubbed in changes and more changes and still more changes so many times that that he knows it is a moving picture, forever changing. He may not like it--probably doesn't; I don't--but he knows it's so, and knowing is the first step in coping with it." Robert Heinlein | |||

Project Farm on You Tube just did a toaster shakedown, check it out “Let us dare to read, think, speak and write.” John Adams | |||

I would not recommend Cuisinart because it toasts unevenly. No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

We had this type when I was a kid. It was my job to watch it, and yell "Pittsburgh!" if the toast started to burn.  הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Cuisinarts have always done well by me. They toast by time, not by a "doneness" sensor so you do have to adjust for different breads, but this is easy to learn. They also toast somewhat quicker than some other toasters I have used. Nice wide slots. The one thing I would change/add is a "bagel - toast just one side" option. | |||

Why are bagels, if toasted, only toasted on one side (inside)? I never understood that. "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it." L.Tolstoy "A government is just a body of people, usually, notably, ungoverned." Shepherd Book | |||

Don't Panic |
Because the outside doesn't need to be hot to melt the butter/spread. The only reason to heat up the uncut side is to see how good your burn ointment is.  Also, my 4-slice Cuisinart CPT-640P1 has a bagel setting. It's not a 2-slice but it's a great toaster. | |||

Mine is a 2-slice Black + Decker and has the bagel 'toast one side' button that actually works. At some point it wouldn't stay pushed down so we ordered another. Total POS. It also had a bagel button that toasted both sides so I'm not even sure why TF they put it on there. We returned it. I wound up taking the malfunctioning one apart and detail cleaning it. It works great again. The SF thread mentioned above convinced me you can't buy one that's worth a sh*t any more without spending hundreds. Seems about right for today. Guess I bought my last toaster.This message has been edited. Last edited by: 83v45magna, | |||

As I posted on page 2 in that old 5 page thread, my decades old Kenmore European Toaster Model 238-48339 is still performing admirably. And again should it die I have no clue what I'd buy to replace it.  Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club!

I have been very pleased with how this Breville works for me. Breville Bit More Toaster 2 Slice BTA70XL The “POLICE" Their job Is To Save Your Ass, Not Kiss It The muzzle end of a .45 pretty much says "go away" in any language - Clint Smith | |||

I just used the "Toast" setting on my Breville toaster oven. Works like a charm and there's one less appliance on my counter. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

We've been through several and always went back to a really old one. We ended up with this Hamilton Beach and it's been very nice. Also, it doesn't have over a dozen bottoms like some. https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod..._title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 | |||

Mine toasts the slice unevenly, the inside toasts faster and both sides are uneven edge to edge so I just stop it after partially toasted, turn it over and rotate, then back down. No huge deal but kind of a nuisance. But it was inexpensive and it's very light which is nice if you keep it in a cabinet. No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

Per Project Farm research.... Kitchen Aid and Smeg are the best toasters (some of the ones in his review are surprisingly and comically bad at toasting bread or bagels). Link posted above. 0:01 | |||
