Toasters: Perfect Slices Every Time

While toasters have featured in our homes for well over a century, finding the perfect one can still be a challenge. Everyone has their toast quirks, whether they like their slices just slightly browned or very well done while today's fast-growing range of bread makes finding the ideal toaster even more challenging. Do you want a basic budget model that just has room for two standard slices of bread or do you want something that caters for your every whim from bagels for breakfast to pitta bread for lunch? You can even expand your toast repertoire with a sandwich toaster that copes with a filling between two slices of bread or panini.
Make up your mind with our hotukdeals guide, where we will take you through everything you need to know when it comes to toasters, as well as where to find the best toaster deals. Read on to find out more!




Features and Functions to Look for in a New Toaster
While all free-standing domestic toasters are similar in appearance and action there are certain features and functions that set them apart (and sometimes determine the price). These include:
- Number of slices
2-slice toasters are ideal for small families, small spaces and small budgets. They come with either two parallel slots or one long single slot. They may not have all the other functions that a larger 4 slice toaster does. If you eat a lot of toast or are feeding more than two people then invest in a 4-slice toaster. They usually come with extra features but on the downside, they take up twice as much room on the kitchen worktop.
- A high lift (extra lift)
If you've ever singed your fingers trying to extricate small toasted items such as crumpets or muffins from your toaster you'll appreciate the high lift function. This lets you push products higher than they normally sit once they've popped up. It is sometimes called an extra lift function.
- Toasting settings
Everyone has a preference for the colour of their toast and with good shade settings you can ensure perfect toast slice after slice. Shade settings are usually in the form of a dial or sliding scale showing how toasted the bread will be. The more scale settings your toaster has, the more accurate it will be at getting your toast just right.
- Other settings
Some toasters also feature a range of other settings. Defrost lets you toast bread straight from the freezer. This is a fairly standard feature even on budget toasters. The Reheat or Keep Warm setting lets you warm up already prepared toast without burning it. Some toasters do this automatically. A bagelor crumpet setting cleverly toasts on one side only giving the perfect finish.
- Removable crumb tray
Making toast without making crumbs is impossible and if stray crumbs are allowed to build up they will impact on your toaster's function. Most toasters come with a removable crumb tray. Slide this out regularly and wipe off the crumbs to keep your toaster working properly.
- Appearance
Toasters come in a variety of shades and finishes from neutral to jazzy. Chrome toasters fit with any decor but are a magnet for fingerprints. Glass toasters are different and a little glamorous but as well as also attracting fingerprints, all the crumbs inside are clearly visible making them high-maintenance on the cleaning front. If you like a colour-coordinated look for all your kitchen appliances then check out the kettle and toaster set sale at hotukdeals for matching items.
Our Top Eight Toaster Brands
Here's some top toaster brands that we would recommend:
Breville: The Australian brand Breville was launched in Sydney in 1932 and is best known for its small domestic appliances including the Breville toaster. Breville toasters are consistently rated highly by reviewers and comparison sites. They're particularly noted for their blend of industry-leading functionality and good looks. Not only are they easy to use, they're also easy to look after.
Russell Hobbs: Launched in 1952 with kettles and toasters among its first products, by the 1960s Russell Hobbs was the UK's leading producer of small domestic appliances. Founder and product developer William Russell had a fail-safe, if novel, method of checking the safety of new appliances. They had to survive having half a pint of boiling gravy poured on them! Russell Hobbs carries an extensive range of toasters from the mid-price range to the high-end. You can even get a Russell Hobbs toaster with a pretty polka dot finish.
De'Longhi: Founded in 1902, De'Longhi brings Italian style to the kitchen. DeLonghi toasters have won design awards and they are among the top-selling toaster brands in Europe. They're certainly not the cheapest options but they score highly for their design-led appearance, their functionality and features (such as the bagel function) which set them apart from their competitors.
Kitchenaid: Now part of the Whirlpool family, Kitchenaid was launched in the USA in 1919. While best known for its iconic stand mixer, Kitchenaid also produces a wide range of small home appliances including toasters. The Kitchenaid toaster is available in a wide spectrum of colours from cream to cherry red and is recognised for being a premium product.
Dualit: The British label Dualit has over 70 years experience of crafting toasters and other kitchen appliances, plenty of time to perfect the sleek architectural lines of its products. As well as being attractive, Dualit toasters are ergonomically designed to be easy to use. They are finished with a wide range of functions created to make breakfast 'extraordinary'.
Kenwood: Originally a British brand but now owned by the De'Longhi Group, Kenwood has been producing appliances since 1947. In fact, its first product was a toaster. Like all of its appliances, Kenwood toasters are noted for their reliability and durability. Packing in plenty of features and functions, these toasters come in a bold range of shades that run from gold to purple.
Smeg: The Italian appliance brand Smeg was founded in Italy in 1948 and is still a family-owned company. While its retro-style fridges have become iconic kitchen appliances, Smeg toasters are also easy on the eye with their rounded outlines and pretty pastel colours. All Smeg toasters feature extra-wide slots.
Morphy Richards: Founded near London just before the Second World War, Morphy Richards has always been a reliable name in home appliances. By the 1950s, there was hardly a home in the UK without at least one Morphy Richards product in the kitchen. Morphy Richards toasters sit in the mid-price range and come with a good choice of colours, design and functions.

How to Clean a Toaster
Keeping your toaster clean and crumb-free will not only extend its life but will keep you safe. If you use your toaster most days, empty the crumb tray and clean it at least once a week. Make it part of your kitchen cleaning routine and you won't forget. Simply follow these step-by-step instructions:

Always unplug your toaster and make sure it's cool before cleaning it or emptying the crumbs.
Pull out the crumb tray, empty crumbs into the bin and wash the tray with warm, soapy water.
Use a soft brush to loosen any crumbs in the toaster then turn it upside down and gently shake it over the sink or bin. (Never put a toaster in the dishwasher or into water.)
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and polish with a tea towel or microfibre duster.
Reinsert the crumb tray.
Accessories For Your New Toaster
Some toasters come with accessories in the box while other brands have a range of accessories to purchase that add more versatility to your toaster use. You can also buy toaster accessories from high street stores and online retailers. Popular accessories include:

Sandwich racks are great for making tasty toasted sandwiches using thinly sliced meat and/or cheese. Make your sandwich, pop in the rack, close the rack and slide it into the toaster slot. You need a toaster with wide or variable width slots for sandwich racks. Just be careful not to get the sandwich filling in the toaster!

Toastie bagsare an alternative to sandwich racks. Make your toastie sandwich, pop it into the bag and drop it into the toaster. Look for recyclable bags that can be reused dozens of times.

Bun warmersthat slot onto the top of the toaster let you quickly heat up your breakfast croissants or rolls. Choose one with an insulated handle for comfortable and safe use.

Toaster covers are available in a range of fabrics and designs from plain to retro patterns. Pop one on when the toaster is not in use (and has cooled down) to keep it dust and fingerprint free.
Toaster FAQs
Alan MacMasters invented the first electric toaster in 1893, calling it the 'Eclipse Toaster'. Marketed in Britain by the Crompton Company, the first domestic toaster was an expensive luxury and only able to toast one side of the bread. It wasn't the labour-saving device it was later to become.
Electrical energy from the domestic electricity supply flows into the toaster via the plug and cable. This energy continues flowing through the thin filaments, turning them orange as they heat up. These filaments then beam the heat towards the bread which lies between them causing it to start to burn and turn brown.
No. On a slice-for-slice basis, there is no difference between the calorie content of bread and toast. Toasting does, however, reduce some of the nutrients in bread such as Vitamin B. This reduction is not significant enough to make any real dietary difference. There is always a temptation with a hot toast of adding too much butter thus adding to the calories!
No, it doesn't. Mouldy bread should not be eaten whether toasted or not. Discard it instead.
Toasters and kettles are among the most essential small appliances in the home and are highly visible in the kitchen. If you appreciate a coordinated look for your decor, then most small appliance brands make matching kettles and toasters.
