| A toaster is a simple electrical machine
that toasts food such as sliced bread, muffins, crumpets and bagels.
A simple toaster will use an infrared radiation grill to heat a piece
of bread until it is cooked. The heat toasters produce is commonly
by conducting electricity through nichrome wires. You can see these
wires going a redish colour when the power is on. The heat produced
basically slightly chars the surface of the bread. Another basic feature
most toasters has is the pop-up element so you can lower and raise
the bread in and out of the toaster. The last basic feature of most
toasters is the pull out tray, which removes the build up of crums
left over from the cooking process. A typical toaster usually operates
around 600 and 1200 W and will toast a slice of bread in around 1
to 3 minutes. It is highly recommended that you never attempt to retrieve
toast and other objects from the toaster using a metal / silver knife.
It is very easy to get an electric shock. |

Posted on 17 / 01 / 2006 Dualit 42174 combi 2+2 toaster
I was getting fed up of £20-40 toasters breaking after a
few months. It seems that out of all the electrical appliances in
a kitchen the toaster is always the first to break. Therefore regardless
of cost i went looking for a durable and foolproof toaster. After
reading many reviews it seems Dualit were the only mainstream brand
to pick from. And what can i say, no problems for over a year, the
only complaint being the slots are slightly too shallow for a larger
slice of bread. User Rating - | ||||||||||||||

| Summary of Toasters | ||||||||||||||
|
Again with other small electric items the Electric Toasters prices vary very little, with the most expensive being 50 pounds, and the cheapest priced around 15 pounds. In the long run it must be better to buy the more exensive toaster because it will last longer and most likely will save you money. A common feature of most toasters we find is they breakdown very easily. With some lasting only for a couple of months. The expensive range of Dualit toasters in the long run may be your best bet. They have extremely good reliability, and are also stylish in design. Toasters vary in price at the moment for cheap prices such as £20 for a Kenwood 2 slice coolwall toaster which has features such as no High lift facility, Variable width slots or Deep slots. Whereas with a Delonghi 4 slice toaster you get options such as Variable browning control which allows you to make toast exactly how you like it, Mid-cycle cancel function which allows you to interrupt the process if you have changed your mind or have to go out, and a reheat facility which warms your toast up again.
