Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid KTT340OB 2-Slice Toaster with Bagel and Warm Functions, Onyx BlackCustomer Review: Uneven Toasting Summary: 3 Stars
Lackluster performance. The bagel toasting function is nice, but the toasting is uneven, with the bottom half only getting browned. I've learned to compensate by rotating the bagels, but this requires attention to prevent burning. Another issue arises when you have more than one bagel to toast. The first bagel toasts the bottom half brown (requiring the rotation), but the second one pops up still white. My guess is that the toaster has reached a heat setting that thinks the item being toasted is done.
Lastly, the design of Kitchen Aid appliances has always been superb for cleaning. I have their 5 quart mixer and their hand mixer, for example, and there is no raised lettering or grooves that will accumulate dirt, making it easy to maintain in good condition. Sadly, this toaster has a ridge that runs between the metal toasting rack and the toaster case. I toast only bagels, yet I have a ton of crumbs that I've been unable to get out no matter what I've tried. If I had it to do all over, knowing what I know now, I'd have passed on this toaster.
Description of KitchenAid KTT340OB 2-Slice Toaster with Bagel and Warm Functions, Onyx BlackKITCHEN AID KTT340OB 2-SLICE TOASTER - ONYX BLACK This compact two-slot toaster from KitchenAid comes with a menu of toasting features and a sturdy, user-friendly structure. KitchenAid's Even Heat system automatically adjusts the heavy-gauge heating elements, so toast comes out consistently, even in large batches. A bagel function toasts the cut side of bagels, while simply warming the crusts, and a warming function gently reheats previously toasted foods. The Easy Lift lever and Soft Rise feature are both helpful when lowering slices or raising them to a graspable height. Notably wide and deep, the self-centering dual slots accommodate thick slices of brioche or fat bagels. Other handy details include a dial for shade control, "cut side" markings for bagel toasting, power indicator lights, a dishwasher-safe crumb tray, and power cord storage hooks. The toaster's stainless-steel interior and polycarbonate housing are built to last and easy to clean. The unit measures 11 by 7-3/4 by 6-3/4 inches. --Emily Bedard
