Pop-up Toasters Are Functional and Convenient
With two and four slice toasters available, there is a toaster model available to suit all demands. Stainless steel construction is rust resistant, providing increased durability and longevity. Aluminum provides the same durability but is lightweight and inexpensive. Colored toaster ovens are usually made from heat-resistant plastic, which resists smudging and scratches. A 'cool touch' outer body guards against burns, as the exterior is insulated to prevent heat transfer.

Many toasters feature a high lift function to allow users to toast smaller pieces of bread and lift the finished slices high in the toaster for easy collection, preventing fingers from getting burnt. Nonskid feet prevent the toaster from sliding along the counter. Power cords are designed to either wind around the base or tuck into a storage compartment within the toaster.

Pop-up Toasters Have Specialized Settings
Pop-up toasters feature a range of predetermined toasting settings to allow the user to simply select the level of toasting desired, pop down the bread, and wait. The user-friendly controls featured on these toasters makes their operation hassle-free. Most toasters include an eject or cancel button to stop the toasting cycle to ensure your toast is just to your liking. Many models feature wider slots designed to accommodate a variety of breads, from bagels to thinly sliced bread. The automatic centering function ensures even toasting on both sides of the bread, regardless of whether the slices being placed in each slot are even.

How Much Wattage Should a Pop-up Toaster Have?
Toasters generally consume from 800 Watts to around 1800 Watts. Higher wattage means more power, which allows the toasters to toast bread quickly. However, an energy-efficient toaster does the job just as well and is friendlier to your budget and the environment. Look for an ENERGY STAR® label or rating for the most efficient product.

What Other Features Do Pop-up Toasters Have?
Certain brands offer four slice toasters with two control knobs, which allow two people to toast bread at the same time to different degrees of darkness. Some toasters feature a toasting window to allow users to view the bread as it toasts. LCD screens, countdown timers, and audible alert features mean you don't forget about your warm toast while preparing your meal.

Can Pop-up Toasters be Used to Just Warm up Bread?
Yes, aside from many variations of toast shade settings, many toasters available have defrost and re-heat buttons to efficiently defrost bread. Some toasters even feature a bagel button to allow for inside cut toasting while only warming the outside.

Are Pop-up Toasters Easy to Clean?
Yes, most toasters feature a removable crumb tray, which slides out of the base of the toaster for easy and practical cleaning. The exterior can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For safety, always unplug your toaster before cleaning.
