Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid KTT340WH 2-Slice, Two-Slot Digital Toaster with Bagel and Warm Functions, WhiteCustomer Review: A big step up from bargain toasters... Summary: 4 Stars
I spent years in graduate school making do with a five-dollar toaster. After moving into my first home, I decided it was definitely worth the splurge to upgrade to a toaster worthy of my homemade breads. I was given a KitchenAid 2-Slice Toaster as a housewarming gift, and the love affair hasn't stopped since.
The KitchenAid performs all the usual functions of a toaster, with many choices from light to dark, but also features a bagel setting designed to toast the cut side of bagels more thoroughly than the crust, and a "warm" setting to keep your toast warm without turning it into charcoal.
The toaster has a nice solid construction, with heavy-duty metal parts and a well-built crumb tray that slides out, eliminating the mess from trapdoor-style crumb trays found on cheaper toasters.
Since I bake my own bread, I tend to slice it thickly, and it turns out perfectly in the KitchenAid. But beware: if you use store-bought (or other thinly sliced) breads, the extra-wide slots mean that your toast may turn out very light and need an extra toasting since the bread is held further away from the heating elements. But it performs beautifully on bagels, English muffins, and thick slices of bread. Whoever said that man cannot live by bread alone failed to toast it in a KitchenAid toaster!
Pros
Toasts evenly, bagels come out perfectly done
Cons
Sometimes frozen breads require extra toasting, warming feature ineffective
Description of KitchenAid KTT340WH 2-Slice, Two-Slot Digital Toaster with Bagel and Warm Functions, WhiteThis newly designed toaster provides toasting consistency through reduced airflow through the toasting cavity. The optimized heating element design provides even bread toasting. Toasting cavity is deeper than most so large bread fits completely inside and toasts evenly from top to bottom. Digital display provides shade indicator and is controlled with a simple to use knob. Special cycles are possible such as Baker's Bagel Toasting and warming cycle. polycarbonate housing Warming cycle Bagel function Digital display Extra Wide Slots 1-year warranty White 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
