Toasting bread is just the beginning. Extra-wide slots make it ideal for bagels English muffins or slices of artisan bread. A special bagel setting lets you toast the cut side while warming the outside. Bring frozen waffles or pancakes to a warm golden finish with the defrost button which thaws then toasts the food. The 4-slice toaster is simple to use with a toast boost feature that gives the bread a high lift for removal. And the automatic shutoff will turn the toaster off at the end of its cycle even if food gets jammed. With brushed stainless steel accents and illuminated buttons this toaster will look great on your countertop.
