T-Fal 5397200 Thick & Thin 2-Slice Toaster

The best thing since sliced bread. T-Fal's Thick 'n Thin Toaster lets you heat and toast everything from bagels to muffins to croissants thanks to a superior design that includes self-adjusting, extra-wide slots. A convenient 2-position bread lift prevents catching and burning as you remove toast and bagels. Plus, it has an anti-jam feature that stops toasting if bread jams the lift. And because it allows you to insert all kinds of baked breads, it also includes electronic browning control so you get just the right results. Defrost bread and evenly toast it, too. Heat only using the bun warmer and you can cancel or stop the cycle anytime. Features a safe-to-touch exterior that easily wipes clean along with a pull-out crumb tray. Cord storage for safety and convenience.

Designed with numerous toasting options, the T-Fal Thick & Thin toaster does not stop at accommodating simple sliced bread. Its lightweight, versatile design handles everything from English muffins to frozen sourdough to fresh croissants. In part, this is due to the self-centering 5-1/8-by-1-1/8-inch slots that are wide enough for hand-cut breads and deli bagels. It is also due to the toaster’s versatile controls, which include a defrost function, a bagel option, and seven browning settings. A pop-up rack even lets you gently warm Danishes and muffins. Other structural pluses include the cool-touch housing, the Hi-Lift raising lever, the anti-jam feature, and the cancel/eject button that arrests any setting immediately. The toaster comes with cord storage, has a removable crumb tray, and measures 10 by 7-1/2 by 6-1/4 inches. --Emily Bedard
