Toaster

[A100man]

My long-standing Russell-Hobbs is no more. I am thus in need of a replacement
that meets 3 simple criterion..

1) Toasts both sides evenly
2) Takes a decent sized slice - even standard slice 'toastie' will do.
3) costs less than 30 quid

There are a host of machines in this price range and yesterday I came home with a Breville that I thought would be Ok, sadly however criterion number 1 is not met. The central 'burner' is weak and thus the inner sides of the two slices are pale compared to the outer.

Can anyone recommend ?

I realise I will probably awaken the BCF sarcastic sense of humour, however that is a yoke I am willing to bear in the search for decent par-charred bread.

ah the fundamental things of life : evenly toasted bread
You could always put it under the grill of the cooker and toast it yourself??

Or you could get a toasting fork, take your bike into the garden and set it alight = nice big fire to toast your sliced white and a toasting fork to stop you from burning your fingers

On serious note , I went to Asda and bought a cheap toaster there.
I’ve had it for about three years now and still going strong.
Hmmm, yum, my toast is all evenly toasted and buttery

Standing over 2 slices of toast cooking is probably as bad for you as smoking a 1000 cigarettes a day in the middle of Bankok or something.

Here's one exactly like my little beauty. Except mines 15 years old, used very regularly throughout and a daily driver for
at least five of those years and it's still going strong. Wasn't especially expensive as I recall, just been no need
to replace it. I have a 15 year old Bosch fridge freezer though.

My Murphy Richards is on its way out too. I've had it for about 15 years. I need a two slot four slice toaster with variable size features, also a warmer rack. I can't find one that is the same as what I have now. I just want one like for like.

Probably down to stupid EU law governing wattage.....

[grr666]

Interesting, I just checked the base of my Tefal Avanti and its a 1300 watter. I now have crumbs everywhere but in the
name of science I'll allow it. What's the ballpark wattage of these newer, slower machines? Presumably there's an
EU imposed toaster maximum wattage. Specially as making two slices of toast indoors is now officially more harmful
than than breathing directly from a lorrys exhaust pipe for 45 minutes.

Toasters that don't toast, hoovers that don't suck. The EU - sending progress back to the stone age while
simultaneously importing millions of people ok with that kind of ideology. What's next? Planes that don't fly?

I haven't had a toaster for about six months now.
I'm starting to miss it.
But not enough to go out and spend over thirty quid on one.
If I get one, it will be a six quid Argos job.
Meantime, sticking it under the grill works fine.

What I'd really like is to have one of these again.

My toaster got a reprieve last week. Wife said it had stopped working so I cleaned it out. Now works fine.

I would consider an overpriced Dualit as they seem to be completely rebuildable, toast well, and last decades.

[pepperami]

Hmmm? I forgot to ask.
Can you get after market accessories or tune up bits for any of these toasters?

I fuckin' burnt my arm on the grill making toast yesterday

Ow!
*sulks*

I need to get a toaster back in my kitchen.

At the moment, I'm vacillating between a toaster or a toastie pie machine, cos I fancy a bit of the old cheese and baked bean toastie.

I just spent the best part of the day walking around the city where i am living trying to find a toaster.... there are rice cookers up the ying-yang .. but try and find a toaster...no chance.

Buy a Dualit toaster or gtfo.

[Jewlio Rides Again LLB]

The original Dualit toaster, in four different sizes to suit a variety of needs, incorporates our trademark mechanical timer and ejector lever, with the ability to select only the slots you need to use. New Gen models offer additional defrost and bagel functions and the 6 slice workhorse can produce a staggering 130 rounds of toast every hour.



I think I may invest in one.
