Synopsis
Attractively housed in brushed steel with black accents, this two-slice toaster from Oster features extra-wide slots that make it easy to toast thin or thick slices of just about anything-from homemade cinnamon-raisin bread or garlic-and-onion bagel halves to hamburger buns, English muffins, or-best of all-frozen waffles: bring on the maple syrup. The unit's user-friendly control panel offers six buttons for choosing the function. Select Toast, Bagel (toasts just the cut side), Waffle, Frozen (defrosts before toasting), or Warm (warms previously toasted items). A button for Cancel allows for ending the session at any time. There's also a dial for adjusting the shade setting from one to seven for light to dark results. Simply add the food to be toasted and push down on the bread-carriage lever. The unit's dual auto-adjusting bread guides center the food for even toasting, while its advanced toasting technology ensures consistent results. After the desired level of darkness has been reached, the food pops up automatically. Other design details include a high-lift lever that raises even small items high enough for safe retrieval, an anti-jam function with automatic shut-off for safety, and a removable dishwasher-safe crumb tray for quick cleanup. Even more, it comes with a retractable cord that allows for storing excess cord inside the unit, helping to keep countertops neat and tidy. Oster covers the two-slice toaster with a one-year limited warranty.
