Toasters have been around for more than 100 years and the
Slate took on the task of testing eight toasters to see which one was really the toast of the town. Using a highly scientific scale which
judged toasting quality, ease of use, cleanup and value, the toasters were put to the test. After too many loaves of
bread to count, the results were in. The high-end toasters like the DeLonghi Aluminum 2-Slice and the KitchenAid Pro Line 2-Slice finished with the
best scores, though they were low in the "value" category. Generally, the less expensive toasters, like the
T-Fal Avanté
Deluxe 4-Slice and Michael Graves
2-Slice, did not perform as well as their more expensive counterparts.
Their list is a great way to start a toaster search, but Cooking.com and Amazon.com's customer reviews also provide great feedback.
