Toaster or Toaster Oven, Which One Should You Have
Over the past couple of hundred years, kitchens have seen some sort of contraption to toast bread. When first invented, a metal frame was placed into the fire to toast the bread that was inside of it. Now 200 years later, toasters have certainly evolved. No more open fire toasting, instead say hello to the toaster and the toaster oven. Which one is best for you?
Choices for toasters and toaster ovens are endless these days. Toasters now give you the option of either two, four, six, and eight slots. No more waiting around for just two to pop up. Eight slices of toast can be cooked all at one time. If that still is not enough, then maybe the toaster oven is something you need.
Toasters are basically used for toasting bread, bagels, and other small food items that can fit inside the small slot. Toaster oven styles on the other hand are a small oven like appliances. Frozen baking goods, pizzas, baked potatoes all can be placed inside the toaster oven to be cooked in half the time of a regular oven. Households usually have one of each appliance. Saves time and saves money as well.
Depending on what brand you go with, toasters and toaster ovens have many different features. Some brands such as the KitchenAid toasters come with settings that allow you to place frozen pastries inside without worrying about burning them. Other settings include a reheat button and a stop button that brings the bread up once it is pushed. Some brands also come with an option for only one slice of toast for those who eat small.
If bagels are your thing, then one with a wider slot will work well in your kitchen. You can even place a complete sandwich inside and heat that up as well. Unfortunately toasters can only do so much since they are only made for toasting breads. Where as the toaster ovens can do what both can and then a lot more. Having both however is a plus and can save you time in the kitchen.
Remember the pop up toasters or the dial controllers? No more, toasters and toaster ovens now come with digital key pads to simplify life in the kitchen. You can even get them in extra large for those who have trouble seeing that early in the morning, like many of us do. Toasters are all about convenience and simplicity, and convenient and simple they are.
If you are worried about the look of your new appliance sitting on your counter, there is no need too. Both come in all shapes and sizes to fit your kitchen needs and decor. No need to worry about the appliance not fitting in. Everyone who is anyone has these appliances sitting on their kitchen counter. And if you would rather not see it, then just pack it up and put it under the counter until needed.
Toasters of all shapes, sizes and colors can be found at your local department store for less than $30. The oven style on the other hand are found more in larger department stores, or you can even check out some online appliance stores. Be sure to compare toaster oven prices before buying. Oven styles can range anywhere from $100 to $300 depending on which brand you decide to buy. Either way, both are definitely a necessity we cannot go without.
Luckily toasters are a dime a dozen and can be found in any retail store. Prices may vary depending on which brand you decide to go with. The oven style on the other hand are found more or less in larger department or houseware stores and can go up to about $300 depending on the functions you decide you want. Either way, they are both here to stay.
