Thanks to hot, fragrant, crispy toasts, the urior morning becomes pleasant, even if it started too early. However, the measured tea party is possible only if the croutons are prepared quickly, tasty and do not require special person participation. All these factors depend on the variety of toaster, which you are going to purchase.

The basic difference of toasters is laid inside of them: the device will be mechanical or electronic. In the first case, the time is set to the delivere time on the timer, but the process has to be partly monitoring to the toasts are not burned. Similar models, for example, Elenberg BH 8863 or Philips HD 2595, are often the most simple, they can only grab the bread and warm up buns. Electronic control mechanism opens up additional opportunities that we will talk about a little later. Progressive toasters, let's say, Vitek VT 1581 or Panasonic NT-ZP1HTQ, differ in price, but with their task coped to excellent and during cooking do not require foreign intervention.

There are devices and the number of slices of bread, which can be fasten at a time. The classic is 2 compartments, each of which is placed on 1 piece. There are models calculated by just one or four slice. The last option is suitable for a large family, because it will save so valuable in the morning minutes.

At the time of cooking also affects the power of technology. Usually, the toasters are equipped with a heating element with a capacity of 600-1600 W. The higher this indicator, the faster you get croutons. By the way, even strong models are not resource-intensive, because they work very quickly and simply do not have time to consume a large amount of electricity.

The body of the toaster can be made of plastic or metal (stainless steel, aluminum). The first type prevails in the modern market, because the plastic surfaces are relatively durable, lungs are perfect. Dear models are placed in the metal case, which promise durable service. Whatever your toaster possessed, it must have good thermal insulation. That is, the temperature of its outer surface always remains the same, even with maximum heating of the internal.

Many toasters have a removable grill for heating sandwiches or buns. This function will have to be by the way, if you prefer warm chuck and sandwich with molten cheese. Otherwise, the presence of such nozzles is optional.

The unconditional plus of the device can be considered a pallet for crumbs. With it, it is quite simple to clean the toaster from fried particles. In models without pallet, the crumbs are poured directly on the table or are collected inside the unit. The accumulated bread residues will burn, exhibit an unpleasant smell and interrupt the gentle aroma of the toasses themselves.

Advanced products (mainly electronic) contain special functions in their arsenal:
defrost (for those who prefer to buy frozen bread for toasts);
centered slice (ensures uniform spruce);
roasting pieces only on one side;
a beep, notifying about the finish of the crunch.

When choosing a toaster should pay attention to some aspects, at first glance, not seeming important. Instruments with fairly wide compartments for slices will allow the bread of greater thickness, which is obtained when the loaf is sliced. The length of the cord should fluctuate in the range of 0.5-1 meters. Shorter, as too long wire, may be uncomfortable in operation. Well, if there is a cord compartment, it will save it from damage.
When choosing a toaster, focus mainly on the number of croutons roasted for a certain time, as well as additional functions that will allow you to comfortably use the device.
