The Defrost button is very useful for toasting frozen bread to toast in a matter of minutes... practical for the morning rush if there is not bread left in the bread bin just take a loaf from the freezer and straight into the toaster. Guaranteed it will toast, brown and taste the same.

The Reheat option is a helpful utility if a slice of toast has been left in the toaster it can be reheated quickly without having to toast again. Reheating uses less energy than toasting and bread will not be wasted. The reheating process is different to toasting so the bread will not burn with too much heat.

The Cancel button will allow you to stop the toaster at any stage. Surprisingly this is used a lot according to customer feedback. Maybe to check the bread's progress if it has toasted but the High Lift Eject tool will do this without cancelling the toasting. High Lift Eject will raise the bread during toasting above the top of the toaster where it can be viewed. Particularly handy for wider breads like bagels and baps which can take longer. This will be energy efficient as opposed to Cancelling and Restarting which uses a lot more.

Adjustable-width bread slice slots are perfect for toasting larger bread slices with thicker bread or bagels and baps requiring more space to fit into the slots. Without this feature the bread can burn being too close to the heat components. Adjusting the slots width creates more space between the heat components and bread eliminating the risk of over browning.

All the toasters should have a browning control setting enabling the bread to be toasted to the user's preference. Settings can range from 1 to 8, even 1 to 10, but the idea is low light brown toast and high toasting for longer giving a nice dark brown crust on the toast.

The removable tray at the base of the toaster located under each bread slot collects all the crumbs falling from the bread slices. The tray can be emptied each day or week and so no crumbs will gather on the worktop unless of course you butter the toast on the worktop.

How does a Toaster Work?

The toaster can toast many different breads such as loafs, baps, crumpets, bagels, potato bread and pancakes through heat radiated from internal electric components. Burning off some of the water present in the bread, the heat exposure will cause the bread surface to brown. The browning happens when the starch in the bread turns to sugar cause by heat. The inside of the bread will not brown with direct exposure to the heat.

How does the Toaster Defrost Bread?

The bread will be frozen initially, and the toaster must heat the inside of the bread to defrost. Normal toasting will brown out of the bread but inside will remain frozen with less heat exposure. The Defrost procedure will generate less heat slowing down the browning process and allowing time for the heat to reach the inside of the bread. The process will take longer with less heat but when the bread eventually browns the heat will also be heated inside the slice.

Do toasters use much electricity?

Some toasters will use a minimum 800W but other models could use as much as 1500W depending on the specification and how high the heating components are set. If the toaster is used every morning for 5 - 10 minutes the energy cost would be approx. €0.20 per day. Obviously this is an average figure taken across all households so it very much depends on your usage. €0.20 each time you use the toaster would be a good yardstick. What is the most energy efficient way to toast bread? There are different theories on what the most efficient method for toasting is but a popular approach is to turn the heating setting up to the maximum then adjust the bread slots width to the smallest width available. Put the bread slices in each slot and begin toasting. Keep checking the bread regularly and when you are happy with the browning remove the toast from the appliance. The idea is to get the heating component as close the bread as possible exposing it to maximum heat. The bread will toast a lot quicker and so the toaster will be on for less time and so reducing energy consumption.

Are more expensive toasters better?

Usability tests have been conducted on cheaper toasters compared to the more expensive options. Surprisingly the cheaper toasters performance match the expensive appliances and in some cases surpassed.

Over a long period of time this will be healthier but over a few months it will have no impact.

If you are contemplating an oven toaster in preference to a standard toaster the main factor to consider is the application. What do you intend using it for?

Do keep in mind the toaster oven comes in 2 formats the stand-alone device for the worktop or built into the kitchen units.
