Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart CPT-160BCH Metal Classic 2-Slice Toaster, Black Chrome
Customer Review: Great so far, but I have my fingers crossed . . .
Summary: 5 Stars
Several years ago I bought a Cuisinart toaster that was a piece of junk (it burned everything), but I took a chance on this toaster since it seemed more sturdy than the last. So far, after a month of daily use, it works great, both on regular and bagel toasting. It has wide enough slots for bagels and thicker slices, although, not surprisingly, homemade bread with one-side wider than another gets toasted unevenly and sometimes doesn't fit.
I had several criteria when purchasing this toaster: it had to have a bagel setting (with most of the heat on the interior); it had to feel sturdy, with some weight; it had to have a "stop" button (instead of requiring a yank on the handle); it had to have wide slots; and, of course, it had to toast bread without burning. This toaster has all those features plus a defrost cycle (low heat) and an easy-to-remove crumb tray. As with many new appliances, the first few uses created an awful smell which, fortunately, dissipated. The thermostat correctly toasts/heats everything from toaster pastries to thick, wholegrain bread.
Some helpful hints when toasting bread: breads with high sugar content need a lower setting than white bread; English muffins are always tricky since they have raised areas and deep holes, and often they require more time than average bread; the bagel setting heats both sides but has more intense heat in the center. You'll probably have to fiddle with the settings until you discover the ones that you'll use everyday and for special cases.
Given other reviews, I'm a little nervous about longevity. You'd think that if we could put a man on the moon, we could create a fantastic toaster, but, alas, that doesn't seem to be the case. This toaster gets five stars from me because it beats (so far!) most of the competition, not because it is perfect. If it fails within a two year period, I'll be back to change my star rating.
