Cuisinart Toaster
Four wide, deep slots easily accommodate oversized artisan breads, frozen waffles, pancakes, bagels and more. The toast boost feature lifts smaller foods up a little higher for safer, effortless removal. If you haven’t hopped on the air fryer bandwagon, this is your big chance.
These variables make it difficult to pinpoint what causes any given toaster to fail, but one thing seems certain—a $100 toaster is unlikely to last you much longer than a less expensive one. This is one of the key takeaways from our research, and it’s something you should take into consideration before deciding which toaster to buy. The slots on the Cuisinarts were wider and deeper than those on most other toasters we tested. They easily cuisinart pots and pans set accommodated the puffiest Murray’s bagels, and we didn’t have to force each half down into the machine, as we did with many other toasters. Also, the “high lift” feature on the lever allows you to lift smaller items like English muffins out of the slots without burning your fingertips. In several successive batches, both Cuisinarts produced toast in pretty similar shades of brown, which is a rare feat for a toaster $50 and under.
It can bake, toast, broil, and reheat food better than any of its competitors. The toaster oven includes nine cooking functions designed for different types of food, including sandwiches, cookies, pizzas, and chicken breasts. For those who cook a lot, a quality toaster oven can definitely make life easier.
Regularly $199.95, this beauty is currently on sale for $169.99 when you add it to your cart. While it’s not the lowest price we’ve ever seen for it (it dropped to $124.99 for Prime Day 2020), it’s still a great price for this do-it-all machine. Certain s, especially compact models, have specially designed bases to wrap their cords. This is an idea feature if you have to move your toaster often, especially with dorm or apartment living. The pause button isn’t available on every Cuisinart, but if you’re a persnickety toast eater, it’s worth getting. It allows you to remove toast to determine whether it’s brown enough for your liking.
We recommend spending only what you think is reasonable for getting about five years’ worth of use out of it. This four-slot toaster consistently browned bread as evenly as its two-slot counterpart. If you have the space, however, we recommend opting for a more-versatile toaster oven instead.
