Welcome to CoolTouchToaster.com, the place to find toasters that fit your personal needs. Whether you are in the market for a 2 slice or 4 slice toaster, or a cool touch toaster oven, let us show you the best toaster choices available.

As a kid I don’t think I ever got up without smelling toast and coffee being made by my Mother. Of course the coffee wasn’t for me and sometimes this just reminded me another school day was beginning, but the thought of warm toast with butter and grape jelly helped me roll out of bed and start the day. A lot has changed since then, but not the ritual of toasted bread in the morning.

The two slice toaster has come a long way and in some cases been replaced by the more versatile four slice toaster or the toaster oven. Stainless steel is still a popular material because of its durability and shine, but there are many new materials used that can match just about any kitchen decor.

You might want to check for the following features before purchasing a new toaster or toaster oven:

1. The cool touch walls built into some toasters is a definite plus, especially if your counter space is limited or you have children in the house. Over the years I have unknowingly pushed plastic bags with bread in them against the sides of a toaster with terrible results. The stink stink lingered for what seemed like forever.

2. A wide selection of temperature settings will come in handy more than you might think. If more than one family member uses the toaster, getting the proper heat settings will save on arguments. Different breads also require varying degrees of heat to come out correctly.

3. Check for an easy cleaning tray. This will make it more likely that you will clean ut the crumbs left after a few uses. With an counter top oven this can be important, since we tend to cook a lot of different foods in them.

4. Another popular feature is a defrost setting. A lot of people like the convenience of frozen bread and this funtion lets you take your slices from the freezer to the table in less time.

5. If bagels are on the menu, be sure the slots can accommadate wider slices, although when sliced in half many bagels fit standard slots. This also allows you to slice loaves of bread to your prefered width.

Many other factors can affect your decision to buy a cool touch toaster. There are under cabinet toaster ovens, space saver models, and combination convection and microwave ovens that also toast.

There are many toaster bargains available at Amazon and the customer reviews can answer many of the questions you may need answered.
