Four Slice Toasters

Too Bad for Blue Willow Toaster Fans

Thursday, February 4, 2010 by Chris PY Waffle

blue willow toaster, kitchenaid blue willow toaster

Most people don't know that the beautiful blue willow is no longer available.   A popular KitchenAid 4-slice toaster, the great features are still found in the model KMTT400SS as a silver four slice toaster. What is great about the features of the Blue Willow are the things that make a great toaster anyway. Specifically, this is the perfect toaster for bagels.   It's one of the only blue toasters I know of that that cooks the sides differently.

Think about this for a second.   The cut end of a bagel is open and should be toasted. The round part needs to be baked.   How many Bagel Toasters can make that claim? Some additional features include:

    * One-Touch "Warm" Button
    * Easy-To-Operate Dial Shade Control
    * Precise Toasting with Even-Heat System
    * Extra Wide Slots
    * Easy Lift Lever
    * Self-Centering Bread Racks
    * Attractive, Rugged Metal Housing
    * Cool Reach Steel Side Panels
    * Steel Interior
    * Removable Crumb Tray
    * Under Base Cord Wrap

So sorry that the Blue Willow is no longer on the market, but you can get all the benefits with a silver one... just not the great looks. If you want to still buy a toaster online you have come to the right place.

TOASTERS REMAIN AT TOP OF WISH LIST FOR BRIDES AND GROOMS

Wednesday, February 3, 2010 by GONE TOASTAL

"In 1970 the Toaster was the number one wedding gift for brides and grooms. Today it remains high on the list of priorities for newly married couples, as about 99% of couples put their desire for a Toaster on their bridal registry," according to local sources at Target Stores, Inc.

Teila my next door neighbor came over this morning with tears running down her face. You see, all my neighbors know they can count on me for sound advice in a crisis.

And, boy -- a crisis it was!

Teila said, "My Toaster died sometime between 7:00 a.m. yesterday and 7:12 a.m. this morning. I don't know what I am going to do."

She sobbed, "Bob and I got five Toasters when we got married in 1970 and that Toaster was the last surviving one of the five." The hurt in her voice was deep.

I felt her pain!

She went on to explain that she had tried every survival technique she knew, including turning the Toaster upside down and shaking it vigorously while pounding it with her fist. She then plugged it in, but it declined to heat up, no matter which outlet she tried.

She said, "I'm pretty sure it is deceased."

As I know how much this hurts when the toaster who has been through the ups and downs of your daily life with you for decades, finally needs to be put to rest. It doesn't matter if it's a two-slice toaster or a four-slice toaster; the hurt is the same.

I gave her a proper small appliance cover for it's burial. They need to be buried immediately, so we took it to it to it's final resting place…

To cheer her up after the service, I brought her in to look at my special high-tech toasters, hoping to inspire a new beginning.

I showed her my best bagel toaster, my smart die cast Toaster, and even my "Cool Touch" toaster oven.

This seemed to cheer her up. She asked me for my advice as to next steps through this difficult time.

I looked her straight in the eye and said,

"Teila your toaster is gone. Times are tough. Your only choice -- go get married AGAIN!"

TOASTER TEST

Tuesday, February 2, 2010 by GONE TOASTAL

A toaster ---- is a toaster --- is a toaster...... right?

WRONG!!

As you know I am the last person on earth to be judgmental, but looking at one's choice of toaster tells volumes about a person -- their financial status, their taste, their focus on the environment, their value of time and so on.

Is their choice a stainless or molded plastic toaster; an on counter or under counter toaster; a four slot or basic two slice toaster? You SEE what I mean!

I must admit I can't advance to the next level of any friendship without checking out a person's choice in quality for their toaster. I just can't!

One rule of thumb I have is this -- if a person's counter top toaster is not visible on a counter top then I move on.

Once spotted, I do a quick evaluation by using

THE TELL-TALE TWELVE TOASTER TEST

1. STYLE
2. COLOR
3. SLOTS - NUMBER
4. SLOTS - LENGTH, WIDTH, ADJUSTABILITY
5. CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL
6. WATTAGE OR ENERGY EFFICIENCY
7. CANCEL OR ON/OFF BUTTON
8. WARMING RACK
9. REHEAT BUTTON
10. DEFROST BUTTON
11. EASE OF CRUMB REMOVAL
12. EFFICIENTY OF CORD STORAGE

Size is not the only thing that matters!

Mrs. Popup....a Nerd?

Tuesday, February 2, 2010 by Mrs. Popup

OMG...I never thought it would happen...just wanted to find the best two slice toaster or four slice toaster...and I'm hooked on reading the best toaster reviews and could now be considered a nerd!

My grandchildren would be so proud!

With a click of a button I landed at Wired Magazine...this is where the nerd title comes in...I guess people reviewing this publication can be considered nerds!

What I found was Hans Scharler and his twittering toaster - really a toaster that twitters..his heading is "Twittering Toaster Offers Some Tasty Bites" not sure what type of powerful toaster makes it work, but.....really...who would have thought of this....a real techie for sure.

Think I'll leave this high tech world and be happy to continue to review a back to basics toaster...NOT...I'll never be able to look at a toaster as just an appliance....who isn't curious to see what a Breville Smart Toaster Oven can do.

The Perfect Toaster for Kashi GoLean Waffles

Monday, February 1, 2010 by Chris PY Waffle

I recently suffered an accident that is preventing me from any real exercise for about 6 weeks (sorry, too embarrassed to share the exact nature of my mishap.)

So, naturally I'm worried about ballooning in weight since this is new ground for me.

Because of my massive toaster fixation, I'm going to start focusing on foods that I can eat that will help me control my calorie intake and easily prepare in the best two slice toaster I can find.    In this case, I would suggest leaning towards the Breville Stainless Steel Toaster and Kashi GoLean Waffles.

What makes this combination so great?

Well the waffles only have only 160 calories per serving and the Breville has a frozen setting that makes cooking frozen waffles a breeze.   I also like that it has slots that contract gently to the right diameter and a little device that lets me look at the waffle without having to stop the toasting process.

I've seen the Breville Four Slice Toaster and it's magnificent as well.   A lot of people seem to like the "little bit more button" and the fact that you can toast a hamburger bun!

Now that's a feature that makes for a true 24 hour appliance!

Dualit Toasters Recognized as the Best in the World

Sunday, January 31, 2010 by Chris PY Waffle

So what makes a toaster worth over $300?

Well when you are talking about the Dualit Stainless Steel Four Slice Toaster you start with the looks.   This is a beautiful addition to any kitchen.   I'm always amazed when I walk into a home and see a $100,000 kitchen remodel and a plastic or stainless steel toaster from a discount store.

When you love a device as much as I do, this is painful.

Ok, but looks can fade right?

Once the infatuation over design wears off, the real reason to own this Dualit Stainless Steel Toaster is the performance.   How many times have you made eggs and toast for more than one person? Common kitchen task right? The problem is that you batch the eggs and have to sequence the toast.   Either the eggs get cold, or you have to pre-make the toast and it gets hard and cold.

So the value here? The Dualit 40415 4-slice toaster can put out 130 slices an hour!

Seriously, think about that.

We are a Pop-Tart/Frozen Waffle Family. In the morning half our tension comes from the kids all trying to make breakfast at the same time.

What we need is production power.   How about you?

Jane Toast's New Favorite Toaster Snack!

Friday, January 29, 2010 by Jane Toast

oster four slice toaster, toaster oven rating, toaster apple green

So, I'm going to have to admit that growing up, healthy and wholesome were the staples of breakfast, lunch and dinner. White bread was premitted, but whole wheat toast was definitely encouraged as the oster four slice toaster go- to bread product.

Mom was/is a fabulous chef, so I can't complain in the least for the culinary feast she would prepare each and every meal... but (sorry mom) my discovery and guilty pleasure as a freshman in college of french toast sticks I will never forget.

What a treat! I had always loved french toast, but what was this delightful treat I had been clueless about my whole life? French toast sticks exploded onto the Jane Toast scene and I just couldn't resist them!

Schrumpcious!

(Too bad that I would learn later, and to my horror, that they were deep fried to a crispy golden brown - well no wonder they were so good!)

I remember I would go up to the counter over and over and ask for plates full of these. Thank goodness they were only on the menu once a week and I was a fanatic about fitness... I would have packed on the pounds!

Well, low and behold, look what I just discovered for the second time in my life?!?! Why the same thing, but in ready slice metal classic toaster mode!

Where's my shopping cart? Get outta my way and load her up! My Delonghi metal toaster has some work cut out for it.

Leggo my French Toaster Sticks!

Like a Virgin Toaster

Tuesday, January 26, 2010 by Mrs. Popup

You might wonder what Madonna & Mrs. Popup might have in common...unfortunately, it's not my body (but I do have some excellent dance moves.)

I think of Madonna when I think of all those "toaster virgins" out there. I admit I was a virgin...a toaster virgin just a few months ago.

Now I'm addicted to toasters whether they are Kitchenaid toasters, Breville stainless steel toasters, or even a Back to Basics toaster.

I imagine Madonna might choose a Delonghi Retro Toaster Oven (love the sound of Delonghi) or a black four slice toaster, or knowing her healthy eating habits she might go for the best bagel toaster, but my first choice for her would be the sexy Kitchenaid Empire Red Toaster!

So to all you toaster virgins out there....open you eyes and your hearts...check the best toaster reviews and welcome home a new family member....could it be a Cuisinart White Classic Toaster? Or might you take a risk and go for the Best Stainless Steel toaster you can find? Better yet, go for a red toaster...you'll be a virgin no more!

Personally, I would love to have a beach green toaster...but, then I would have to redecorate...hmmmm...sounds like a plan for another day!

Let the toasting begin!

Dave's Yummy Toast

Monday, January 25, 2010 by Betty Bagel

Those who know me well know that I have a little thing for Dave Matthews.

He can write lyrics that melt me like butter on a hot piece of toast. Take, for instance, this line from his recent "Shake Me Like a Monkey" release: "I like my coffee with toast and jelly, but I'd rather be licking from your back to your belly."

Toast and jelly, Dave, hmmm?

What kind of toaster would you be using to brown that little piece of heaven?

Would it be the sleek, sexy Kitchenaid Four Slice toaster specimen?

Or something a little more high-powered, like the Tfal Avante Elite Convection Toaster?

Maybe you're all about getting back-to-the-basics with a familiar Proctor and Silex kitchen standard?

Whatever your choice, I'm sure you make the best toast in the universe.

With or without jelly.

New Fangled Website Up and Running!

Monday, January 25, 2010 by Jane Toast

global toaster, jane toast, breville four slice toaster

It's hard to be humble when you're the spokesperson for Global Toaster... Hi. I'm Jane Toast, and there's just not enough good things I can say about this devise and our website that is solely dedicated to the best appliance in the kitchen - the toaster.

How many people out there own a toaster and have never thought about how much better your life is with this little machine in your life?

Well, now is your chance to start making a change. Join us at Global Toaster, grab your kitchenaid four slice toaster and give it a big hug.

That's what I'm talking about.

And, if you're just not in the hugging mood, throw some bread in it, and let it do what it does best... toast.

Ah, the warm red glow of those coils. Gets me every time.

I'm so excited to be apart of the launch of our new website very soon. I hope you check back and see the changes we've made to it. With the improvements you'll be better able to find that perfect english muffin toaster you've been dreaming about for ages.

Thank you for being a guest to my blog. Please leave me comments, I love to hear from you.

I hope you remain as enthusiastic about something as simple as a cool touch bagel toaster as I have been my whole life. There's something to be said about appreciating the everyday things in life!

Hunk of Junk... No, No It's a Waffle Iron!

Saturday, January 23, 2010 by Jane Toast

This, my friends, is not a black four slice toaster.

oh, no.

And, no... It is not a mine.

It is in fact an old waffle iron. It so looks like it's not meant for the kitchen. I know.

I don't think I'd really get batter any where near this thing in fear that it would blow up at the mere sight of it.

But, yes. This was in fact a staple in many households... just like the classic metal toaster. (My all-time favorite of course.)

I have to say that I do like the newer versions though, like the kitchenaid four slice toaster... but I suppose this would have been fine back in the day…. sorta.

Hey Jane Toast! If You Like Your Toaster So Much, Why Don't You Marry It?

Saturday, January 23, 2010 by Chris PY Waffle

sexy toaster, jane toast, silver toaster oven

I had to laugh at Jane's post about her Sexy Toaster :-)

It reminded me of this cartoon I had seen where the girl was so in love that she started dating a Breville Toaster or something. (It's an Asian cartoon so bear with me)

I can totally see Jane's courtship process working here. Sitting alone in the Toaster bar...eyeing the Cool Touch Bagel Toaster over in the corner.

Up comes a typical black four slice toaster..."Want some toast with that juice?"

"Sorry" she would reply "I'm waiting for my boyfriend, he's a Breville Four Slice Toaster".

Why do I love Breville Toasters?

Saturday, January 23, 2010 by Chris PY Waffle

breville toaster, breville toasters, black four slice toaster

Are you seriously asking me why I love Breville Toasters?!

Look at this one. I mean...it's smiling at me. I can see right down inside.

As I consider toaster rating as a lifestyle or hobby this one from Breville has to be worthy of my very first toaster post.

Why anyone would want an all black four slice toaster when they can have a Stainless Steel Toaster like this one I'll never understand.

Ok Jane! I guess it does have some black on it. Anyway, that's it for my Breville Toaster Reviews for today.

You can buy this breville toaster right now at Global Toaster.

Don't Forget - Toaster Sign

Wednesday, January 20, 2010 by Jane Toast

Best Stainless Steel Toaster, Classic Metal Toaster

If you are forgetful, this might be exactly what you need sitting next to your stainless steel four slice toaster.

Just a simple reminder not to skip breakfast, but to go ahead and slip a couple slices of bread into that classic metal toaster before you're on your way and out the door.

A healthy breakfast is so important to get your day started right, and this simple reminder sign could do wonders for you.

Although, actually tying a string around your finger could be better... I would probably forget why I tied a string around my finger at the end of the day anyways.

Put this sign by your Oster inspire toaster and never forget to toast your breakfast again!

No Toaster Spotted in Avatar

Monday, January 18, 2010 by Jane Toast

I just saw the movie Avatar this weekend. First of all, AMAZING graphics and 3D effects, but the only downfall was that I just couldn't believe I didn't spot a euro pro kitchen toaster oven or even a cloer toaster of all things in this film.

I totally dug this movie, since I am a sci-fi junkie and an admitted gamer. (Yes, Jane Toast knows all about the world of EverQuest and World of Warcraft... I mean, I would have broke out with a "WOOT" had I seen my favorite appliance in this movie. I'm telling you- don't get me started.)

Maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough and too enthralled in the story and missed it. I'll have to watch it over again for sure. I spotted RTD2 floating through space in StarTrek afterall. Surely, there's GOT to be a silver toaster oven or SOMETHING in Avatar.

I can't even imagine how awesome it would be to see a Cuisinart digital toaster oven at the IMAX theater in 3D! Could life get any better than THAT?

The seeds of Ewya would seek out breville four slice toaster... I just know it. Talk about a strong heart!

And the Na'vi, they would LOVE toast! How could they not?!?!

Evil Kenevil TOAST!!!

Friday, January 15, 2010 by Jane Toast

I am Jane Toast and I love all things extreme, especially extreme outdoor sports...

I've been known to jump out of perfectly working airplanes, jumped off of towers with only a bungee cord tied around my ankles, been thrown out of a raft navigating whitewater...

I absolutely LOVE the adrenaline rush. There is no substitute for it.

(unless you include the feeling I get when I walk by a sexy toaster... of course.)

I saw this photo of two slices of toast engaged in EXTREME POP-UP SPORTS!

Check out the yardage these two are getting from the white two slice toaster down there.

Seriously, this could be Olympic record toasting!

I wonder how these two train for this gig. I'm impressed. And how do they decide who to team up with?

I think they need Evil-Keneval red, white and blue spandex-ed outfits.

What if they found two other wild and crazy toast-flyers and got a Dualit four slice toaster to launch them into the air?

That would be amazing to witness. They could coordinate extreme-poses and flips like in the X-games.

Do you think they made it up and over the tower?

I wonder how they plan to land... maybe they're packing chutes. Surely, they had a plan before launching themselves up into the hall of fame flight path o' crumbs.

I'd like to get their toasty autographs at any rate.

Amazing feats of toast courage right here captured in a photo for all to see.

POP-UP, UP and AWAY!

LOVE IT!

Pac-man Toast

Friday, January 15, 2010 by Jane Toast

Hehehe...

Someone got some toast tattoos and made pac-man toast for the kiddos.

This is what I'm talking about. Burning in images right onto the toast...

Kids would love this!

If you have trouble getting your child excited about breakfast in the morning (even if you own the best stainless steel toaster out there), get the plastic little stampers and press shapes into the bread before you stuff them into your four slice tfal avante elite toaster.

They're kids, they just don't realize how cool that powerful toaster really is....

Why fight it? Let them live in ignorant bliss and be entertained with shapes on the bread like pac-man and the gang here.

I can imagine how much fun they would have playing old school video games with their slices of toast- sliding them back and forth on the kitchen table...

oh, wait.

That could really end up in a crumby mess... literally.

Oh, well. If you're kids just don't get the reasons why TFAL is the bomb as far as kitchen appliances go, maybe they'll grow into it. Until then, enjoy the entertainment factor of cool toast tattoos.

Jane Toast Blog Set Up

Thursday, January 14, 2010 by Jane Toast

So this seems like the perfect set-up for Jane Toast. Right in the corner of the kitchen counter.

I can sit here with my coordinating four slice stainless steel toaster and be inspired while munching on a classic piece of yummy toast, or possibly and an english muffin (I don't discriminate), during my search for the best toaster oven reviews online.

I could totally picture myself right here- blogging my little heart out...

What more would I need in life than this work space? It's perfect I think.

I have the high-tech wireless keyboard and mouse with a brushed metal flat screen monitor. Nope. I don't think it could get any better.

ooh... unless...

Yeah, if I had the highest rated toaster oven in matching stainless steel to go with it. Then, I might have the ultimate blogging workspace. I'm not that picky though. I could work with this.

Maybe a splash of color would be helpful. Perhaps I should look into getting a blue toaster oven at Global Toaster to mix it up a bit. Yeah... I think I'll check out something with color.

Should Toasters Wear Sweaters?

Thursday, January 7, 2010 by Jane Toast

With the change in the weather it's time to switch out your wardrobe for some warmer pieces and break out your stash of sweaters... for you and your toaster.

That's right. I said sweater for your toaster.

I'm not sure how I feel about this honestly.

I'm a fan of showing off your fancy Dualit Four Slice Toaster and making a statement on your countertop, but not necessarily smothering it in pink wool knitwear...

But, maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe some of the best two slice stainless steel toasters get chilly? Who says they don't also feel the draft that's coming in that window next to the sink? Never thought about it.

I wonder if there are sweaters in the fall fashion magazines that match the color of the toaster on your counter. What if you have a cobalt blue toaster? Would it really want to be seen wearing a pink sweater? There are all kinds of considerations to take into account when doning a new outfit on your favorite small appliance toaster.

What about adding a belt for embellishment? Start a new trend with your toaster sweater... why not?

Crazed Man Over a 4-Slice Toaster!

Wednesday, January 6, 2010 by Jane Toast

Possibly the hippest toaster-pose I've ever seen captured right here in this photo.

But, wait a minute...

What's he doing? Dancing? Surfing? Running away with the love of his life - the beautiful 4 slice metal toaster stainless steel?

Who seized this moment on film, I want to know!

He looks so fancy in his suit and tie... but then there's the hat. The crazy furry cap with earrmuffs, hmm... must be cold. But, then there's no shoes.

Oh-my-gosh.

He's a mad man on the loose with a 4-slice toaster in his mitts!

Tackle that man before he hurts the poor breville four slice toaster. He doesn't know what he's doing. Surely he was just caught off guard by the beauty of the devise and took off in an emotional rush...

Somebody stop him!
