The wafting aroma of toast being made is one of those smells that’ll always remind you of home.
Be it baked beans on toast at breakfast or a slice of artisan raisin toast for afternoon tea…there’s just something so comforting about the filling and low-fuss snack.
Although simple is still substantial in the toasting game, toasters have come a long way since the standard one-setting, two-slice model. Many toasters now also feature long slice slots and smart screens that make brunching that bit easier.
So, with options for two-slice and four-slice toasters aplenty, we’ve rounded up some of the best toasters – with affordability, style and functionality in mind – that’ll have you serving perfectly browned bagels, pastries and toast every morning.
