Toasters are handy kitchen appliances to prepare you a quick breakfast in busy mornings. A toaster needs to be quick and should have accessibility features to prepare a quick meal. Breville is a reliable brand for various kitchen appliances. All the Breville products are designed and engineered in Australia, and are assembled in China, but the quality is much better than your typically Chinese manufactured products.
The Breville BTA820XL Die-Cast 2-Slice Smart Toaster is just the kind of appliance one would want in the kitchen. It has some smart accessibility features and specifications, which are discussed as below.
Lift and Look feature
The Breville Die-cast 2-slice toaster has an easy Lift-and-Look feature. It allows the housewife to quickly check if the bead is toasted enough or not. It allows the alterations in mid-cycle. In addition to this one, a Bit-More setting automatically lowers down the toast to brown it a little more. These two features integrate well to save time when in a rush.
When the bread is toasted fully, it pops out high enough so that one can grab it easily without burning fingers. The toaster can brown the toast evenly and consistently with all batches, and offers a crisp toast to butter it up for the breakfast!
Can accommodate oversized bread
The toaster slots are wide and long enough to accommodate some oversized bread or bagel. A slot has a width of half an inch and a depth of 5.2 inches. The toaster also has varied settings for different levels of browning. An LED panel is integrated to for ease in selection of settings and to track the progress of toaster.
When done, the toaster produces an audible sound to let the user know that the bread is done. Unlike other toasters of plastic casing, this does not overheats and does not render smoke on prolonged use. There is a wring on the cord which can be used to easily remove it from the socket.
