Expertly toast all of today's popular breads, from artisan, homemade and bakery-style breads to bagels, English muffins and waffles. The Hamilton Beach® Gourmet 2 Slice Toaster was specially designed to evenly toast every kind of bread — even a long, single slice — to perfection. Its Sure-Toast™ 1 slice technology ensures balanced browning and color on both sides of bread, even if you're toasting one slice. The longer 6.5" toast slots conveniently toast longer slices — no need to cut bread to fit. The 7 shade selector dial provides a wide range browning levels for every taste and recipe, and it easily adjusts to everyone's toasting preference. Extra-wide slots fit thicker breads such as Texas toast, and the self-centering bread guides securely hold slices within each slot for consistent heating and even browning. When your toast is ready, the Toast Boost feature makes it easy to retrieve smaller breads such as English muffins. For perfect bagels, select the bagel button, which toasts the cut side and gently warms the rounded side. Includes 3 toasting functions with illuminated buttons and slide-out crumb tray for easy cleanup.
