ContinueWe recommend selecting the toaster according to the following parameters.
The power consumption is measured in watts (W) and usually ranged between 650–2400W. The power gives you some idea about the toast preparation time, which is typically 2 to 3 minutes. The higher the power consumption, the shorter the toasting time.
Some toasters allow you to adjust the power output. This way you can ensure all toasts will be toasted just right.
Before you buy your dream toaster, it is important to consider how many household members you will be feeding. Most models can handle 2-4 slices at a time, which is enough for small and medium-sized families. However, you can also find toasters with up to 6 slots, which will be appreciated by large households.

Some toasters also have a variable slot width, which lets you easily toast a thin or thick slice to a golden, crunchy perfection.
Most modern toasters have a removable crumb tray, which you just need to pull out and throw away the crumbs. Cheaper toasters without the tray need to be cleaned the old way, i.e. by turning them upside down and shaking the crumbs out. The outer part doesn't require much maintenance, but it still depends on the material.
If you want to bake two toasts together into one delicious snack, we recommend considering a sandwich maker.
The most common functions of a classic toaster include:

Browning control is not the same thing as a timer. The browning control numbers only serve to give you a rough idea about the toasting intensity.
Some more expensive toasters have even more useful features.

In addition to special properties and parameters, you can also filter toasters by colour. A stylish red toaster with a retro look can fit into any kitchen.
