Why does bread taste better toasted? It's actually due to a series of chemical reactions deep in its starchy molecules that brings out hidden flavors. That means that when you set this 2-slice toaster to one of its 4 modes and dial it up to one of the 5 levels of toastiness, you're as much a scientist as you are a cook. The LED screen shows you exactly how much time is left until your toast is ready for your plate. Designed to be as convenient as possible, it has self-centering slots to easily accommodate all types of slices from thin English muffins to thick Texas toast. It also has a high-release lever so it's easier and safer to pull out smaller breads. And, for an added touch of style, it has a sleek polished finish that adds a bit of refinement to your kitchen counter.
