Revolution Cooking R180 High-Speed 2-Slice Stainless Steel Smart Toaster - The Only Toaster with InstaGlo™ Technology

Product Information

So, what's our hot verdict? Making breakfast for more than one person is made much easier when four slices of bread can go in at once. There's no waiting around for toast to get cold – everyone gets a hot slice, it's a breakfast miracle in our house! These features would warrant the higher price tag for me. Personally, I'm happy with my conventional toaster, but if this toaster did more than just toast fast and accurately, I might consider it for my smart home. Ultimately, this is a super premium toaster at a super premium price and is probably best suited for someone who loves flashy kitchen tech (and perhaps wants to impress their friends). Many toasters have additional features, such as the reheat, defrost and bagel functions. If you toast frozen bread or like to have bagels toasted just from the inside, these functions are always nice to have. The Price Of Smart Toasters Unlike your average toasting machine, a smart toaster has multiple browning levels, helping you to achieve the ideal level of cooked that you prefer, whether that's barely toasted or extremely charred. Plus, many of them allow you to save your chosen settings so that you can use them again and again, which is ideal if you live with someone who enjoys their toast completely differently from you!

The Breville smart 2-slice toaster can easily be cleaned by pulling the removable crumb tray. The cord of the toaster can be stored at the bottom of the device so you can easily put it away and keep your countertop organized. Even bagels come out ideal, and I’m talking about proper, big New York bagels. All but the fattest bagels I got from my local shop fit into the toaster's slots when sliced in half, and they came out with a nice crunchiness on the exterior that contrasts perfectly with the chewiness of the dough inside. (And yes, New York bagel purists, I know that you should never toast a freshly baked bagel.) The Smart Planet grilled cheese toaster has a knob where you select the desired level of browning. The lowest shade is 1, while the highest is 7. The advantage of this toaster is that you do not have to monitor your sandwich. When it is done, it will pop out and not end up being burnt.

Smart Toasting

While using a mild surface cleaner to wipe the exterior of the smart toaster won’t do much harm, using it on the inside or touchscreen can damage the toaster. Plus, it can leach harmful chemicals into the toasting slots that may contaminate your toast. We recommend avoiding using chemicals to clean your toaster. How often should I clean the crumb tray? Crumb tray - An essential that captures all of the loose crumbs to prevent them from making a mess on your countertop. With your food inserted into the toaster’s slots and your settings dialed in, tap Start to begin toasting and the slots will slowly lower the food down to expose it to the heating elements. The R180 will then toast your food according to your specifications. The touch screen will show how it is currently browning, warming, or crisping whatever you’re toasting, and when it nears the end of its cycle, it displays a countdown. The toaster chimes pleasantly when finished, as your freshly toasted food slowly rises from the slots. It browned faster and more evenly than most other models on test, producing perfectly browned bread in a little over a minute and a half. Most others took more than two minutes and while 30 seconds might not seem much, if you’re rushing to get the kids to school, that could make all the difference. The number of toasting levels: In a household where everyone has their own toast preference, there is nothing better than a toaster that has several levels of browning.

Smart toasters have different innovative features, such as automatic lowering and lifting of the toast, LCD with a timer, memory settings that remember your preferences, etc. There are even toasters that can be connected to your smartphone. Which Smart Toaster To Look For?
