Toasters & Toaster Ovens

1. Convection toaster ovens, unlike standard toaster ovens, use a fan to circulate the hot air within the oven's interior. This results not only in faster cooking times, but also in better cooking, with more even heating and toasting.

2. If you love to cook or entertain, a toaster oven will quickly become your favorite kitchen appliance. Though taking up little more counter space than a toaster, it's infinitely more versatile. Use it to keep food warm, or toast or bake side dishes.

3. Cuisinart toasters and toaster ovens are always among our best sellers at SmallApplianceSource.com. A Cuisinart toaster offers an excellent price-to-performance ratio, with an attractive design, quality construction, and useful features that make workday mornings easier - even before that first cup of coffee.

4. Overwhelmed by our toaster variety? Spend some time reading our customers' toaster reviews. Our savvy Hayneedle shoppers don't shy away from naming the best toasters - and worst features - we have available. For faster browsing, sort results by customer rating.

5. With their cheery colors and fashionably modern designs, Kalorik toasters bring a distinctly European aesthetic to the American kitchen counter. Kalorik is one of Europe's oldest small appliance manufacturers, with over 80 years experience manufacturing electric toasters and toaster ovens.

6. Dualit toasters are renowned for their heavy-duty construction and retro styling. The high-quality, feature-rich design of a Dualit toaster reveals its origins as a commercial catering product - some models can toast up to 130 slices per hour.

7. If you're a foodie or a culinary explorer, the best toaster for you might be one with an unusual extra feature - say a convection toaster oven that can also broil food, or a four-slice toaster that can simultaneously poach or soft boil eggs.

8. Some toast lovers are like Grandma in Vegas - it's all about the slots. For bagels or thick bread slices, you'll want toaster slots that are about 1.5 inches wide (or more). If there are two of you, get a four-slice toaster for pre-set controls.

9. Raise your hand if you've ever turned a toaster upside down and shaken it over the trash can in a vain attempt to evacuate its crumb colony. Now with your other hand, browse for toasters with a slide out crumb tray.

10. You'll be looking at it every morning, so pick a toaster with a little charm and character - or at least a style that matches your kitchen décor. Sleek and modern, retro chic, functional: we've got 'em all.
