We’re here to help educate you about toasters and related information.

According to a Consumer Reports test on toasters in June of 1990, toasters work “by applying radiant heat directly to a bread slice. When the bread's surface temperature reaches about 310 degrees, a chemical change known as the Maillard reaction begins. Sugars and starches start to caramelize and to take on intense flavors. That’s toast. With more heating, the sugars and underlying grain fibers start turning into carbon. That’s burnt toast.” Today, there are many different types of electric toasters, and the majority of these toasters can be into one of three categories: manual, semi-automatic, and automatic.

Not surprisingly, manual toasters were the first type if toaster. These toasters contained no moving parts and the bread was set on racks that toasts on one side and then is turned to toast on the other side of the bread.

Semi-automatic toasters are similar to manual toasters but have the added convenience of a bell that would ring when the toast is done. Many of these types of toasters also have a thermometer to control the temperature of the toast, which can be adjust according to how dark or light you want your toast.

Automatic toasters are the more common type of toaster that has a pop-up feature, meaning that when the toast is done, the toaster will automatically stop toasting. These toasters are most often operated by a lever system and a temperature dial so you can control both the temperature and the cook time for your toast. These are the most popular types of toasters.

No matter what type of toaster or toaster oven you choose, make sure that it fits your style and lifestyle.
