Toasters

Bump

Have you thought about a George Foreman grill - mine makes great toasted sandwiches and adjusts to how thick the bread is.

I've got a grill. But a grill squashes the bread. Fine for a toasted sandwhich, but not for my soldiers. (For pate, soup or caviar!)

My Russell Hobbs takes largish slices.

and crumpets.

We have to cut the top crust of a ready sliced loaf to fit the toaster. We had to do the same with our previous toaster. Have you not got a grill facility on your oven? We use ours for crumpets and cheese on toast.

A toasting fork and and a roaring fire? A gas fire will do at a pinch as we found out all those years ago during power cuts , probably at the time of the Three day week.Memory not so good these days!!

Our toaster gave up the ghost last week. I was shocked by the price of toasters, and decided to rely on the grill. Our new oven/grill goes off every time you open the door so never heats up to the level I believe is needed for satisfactory toast. I'm saving up for a new toaster - has anyone any recommendations for Galen?

I use a Delonghi toaster in black which takes very thick sliced bread & crumpets has served me well I think I bought it from JL.

Coopers of Stortford do a flat bed toaster.

I've got a cheap Breville toaster (matches the cream kettle and mixer perfectly) and it takes large thick slices of bread, as well as doorstep size ones I cut myself. Seems to be holding up ok - had it three years.

Iam64 I pay as little as possible for a toaster because they never last long in my house. Around £20 or less appears to be average. I try to buy a "good" one in the sales so that I get better quality much cheaper. That is the theory.

Yes, Charleygirl it's a shame toasters pack up even when you spend a fortune on them. My last one did everything except make the beds but only lasted 18 months and it was past the guarantee stage. This Breville was bought cut-price and cost about £16.

It's the height not the thickness that's the problem.
Glad solo done else has a passion for crumpets. The kids always reckoned my homemade ones were the best.
We used to have an open fire and everyone had their own toasting fork.

The one I've got takes long slices, Galen

I have exactly the same problem Dualit - breadmaker - so I cut the slices in half - a winner really less bread so helps with the weight (not!)

That's the breville When?

My sliced Paleo bread is often too high for my toaster - I just put it in sideways.

I have a Panasonic bread maker which makes different size loaves. The Dualit Architect Toaster we have had for a few years now seems to take most sizes of bread and makes nice evenly browned toast.

height is usually the problem so we put the bread in the toaster sideways that way it fits, ours is a russell hobbs.

If you are looking for a toaster that gives you the power to control over the browning of the toasts, then your search ends here. Presenting KENT Pop-Up Toaster R with 5 Heating Modes, high lift function and wider slots. Now, enjoy your toasts, the way you like them.
