toasters

Countertop browning appliances

Toasters are small kitchen appliances that brown sliced bread by exposing it to radiant heat.

The standard design holds two or four slices vertically, with a lever to lower the bread and a spring mechanism that pops it up when done.

The toast popped out of the toaster.

A toaster oven is a larger countertop appliance that can also bake and broil.
