Toasters - Bread makers

WHAT IS A TOASTER

A toaster, or a bread maker, is an electric small appliance designed to toast sliced bread by exposing it to radiant heat, thus converting it into toast. Toasters can toast multiple types of sliced bread products.

The most common household toasting appliances are the pop-up toaster and the toaster oven. Bread slices are inserted into slots in the top of a pop-up toaster, which make toast from bread in one to three minutes by using electric heating elements. Toasters have a control to adjust how much the appliance toasts the bread. Toaster ovens have a hinged door in the front that opens to allow food items to be placed on a rack, which has heat elements above and below the grilling area. Toaster ovens function the same as a small-scale conventional oven. Toaster ovens typically have settings to toast bread and a temperature control for use of the appliance as an oven.

TYPES OF TOASTERS

For home use, consumers typically choose a toaster type based on their intended use.

Modern toasters are typically one of three varieties: 

1. pop-up toasters: Pop-up toasters are better than toaster ovens for making evenly toasted toast

2. toaster ovens: Toaster ovens can bake and broil while pop-up toasters cannot.

3. conveyor belt toasters: Conveyor belt toasters are mostly used in restaurants or other industrial catering environments where toast needs to be made quickly and in larger quantities.

Toasters are designed to look in place in any kitchen. Designers presented more aesthetic variations to pop-up toasters than other toasters. Consumers may choose a toaster by its appearance.

FEATURES OF A TOASTER

Features which distinguish various types of toasters include the following:

FOR ALL TOASTERS

1. Consistency of toasting – The ideal toaster can provide even toasting over the area of the bread, and reproduce this throughout the lifetime of the machine.

2. Choice of toast – The user should be able to choose the darkness of the toasting.

3. Toast output – Various toasters can process bread into toast at different capacities.

4. Ease of operation – The toaster's controls should be labelled to permit easy use and predictable results.

5. Removability of crumb tray – Toasters with a permanently attached crumb tray will be more difficult to clean than those with a removable tray.

6. Cord placement – There can be variation on the placement of a cord as well as retraction functionality.

FOR POP-UP TOASTERS 

1. One-sided toasting – Toasters may optionally toast only one side of the bread, perhaps for toasting one side of a bagel.

2. One-slot toasting – The ability to toast an individual slot, if a single item is desired.

3. Slot depth – People desiring toasted oblong bread should seek a deep slotted toaster.

4. Slot width – People desiring toasted fat bread should seek a wide slotted toaster, as for bagels.

5. Safety features – Most contemporary pop-up toasters have automatic shutoff in case of toast displacement and burning.

6. Bread lifter – Beyond the pop-up, some toasters may incorporate a bread lifter to further expel toast products.

FOR TOASTER OVEN

1. Broil options – If only the upper heating element may be used then toaster ovens can make broiling an option.

2. Compact shape – Appropriately sized toaster ovens will serve the user's requirements but not occupy more counter space than necessary.

3. Design for cleaning – A nonstick interior such as that made from porcelain makes oven interiors easier to clean.

4. Interior lighting – A light inside the oven permits observation of cooking food.

5. Multiple shelf racks – Having options for positioning the oven shelf gives more control over distance between food and the heating element.
