Whats the best toaster being made today – and where can I buy one?
There are a number of advantages to owning a new toaster – from wider slots that accomodate bagels and thick breads, to “cool-touch” models where the exterior won’t get scorching hot. Plus, more emphasis is being placed on design once again – so there are some attractive toasters being made. We have not been able to gather and test all the new models out there, however. You might want to look into Consumer Reports to see if they have tested toasters recently. Finally, we recommend that you take a loaf of bread with you when shopping for a toaster – the proof is in the toasting! If you want to buy a toaster online, Gourmet.org has a good selection in all price ranges. Return to Questions.
