Do you know what is the toaster? What is the difference between them? What is the most suitable for them? They are all confused.
In fact, the fundamental difference between them is that the toaster is used for toast bread slices, bread machines, and ovens that can be used to make food.
The following is a detailed introduction to the toaster, purchase attention, maintenance, and other related knowledge so you can decide whether to buy or not according to their own use.
What Is The Toaster?
It’s a kitchen appliance that has a single function and is mainly used to toast bread slices. It’s small in size, safe, and convenient to use. It can quickly and easily toast bread for us. It can not only be used to toast bread slices into a brown color, but also make it taste better and enhance appetite.
How Does It Work?
It’s mainly composed of a heating wire group, a timing circuit, a toast carriage, an electromagnetic stone switch and a casing. Its principle is to control the length of time by the timing circuit to obtain the baking degree and color of the bread. After the set time, the timing circuit disconnects the power supply, so that the electromagnet does not pass electricity and the toast carriage is loosened, and the bread is bounced up.
The Differences Between Toaster And Oven
The toaster is not very popular in China because it is used for Western to toast bread. It belongs to Western-style small appliances. The oven is mainly and very useful for baking cakes, toast, chicken wings, pizza, grilled ribs, puddings, biscuits, and many semi-finished products sold in supermarket freezers. But, the toaster can make toast only.
Is It Necessary To Buy The Toaster?
If you often toast a slice of bread, you can buy one. Either buy an oven. The oven can not only replace the bread machine and the toaster but also other things.
Compared to a toaster, the oven is time-consuming and therefore it’s also a waste of electricity. The oven is slow, it needs to preheat every time. It’s not good to replace a toaster if you lack patience.

In general, you should pay attention to the brand, type, shape, and function of the toaster when you purchase. Let’s take a look at that.

When purchasing the toaster with the removable crumb tray, it is necessary to repeatedly pull the crumb tray several times to observe whether the process is convenient and smooth, and there is no stuck phenomenon.
2. Extra Wide Slot
When purchasing a toaster, pay special attention to the slot design of the toaster. Because the slot design is directly related to whether it can heat bread with different thicknesses. Therefore, it is recommended that you use a toaster product with an extra-wide slot.
3. Function
Although the main function of the toaster is to heat the bread, the quality toaster comes with multi-function. It is recommended that you purchase with defrosting function, heating stop function and reheat function.

If it’s just to save money, then you can choose the normal type of toaster. If you want to have breakfast, you can choose semi-automatic toaster. If it is convenient, you can choose a fully automatic toaster.

Instructions
A toaster is a heating appliance. Its function is to generate enough heat near the slice of bread to toast the bread. If your toaster can’t eject the toast automatically, the breakfast is definitely not as rich as it is today.
In many families, the toaster is more easy to failure than any other small appliance. There are two reasons for this. First of all, the toaster manufacturing cost is generally low, and its quality is not high.
Secondly, when the toaster fails, it is often not a problem with itself, but the food particles interfere with its normal operation. If you toast many slices of bread every day, the crumb generated during the movement of the carriage will fall into the bottom of the toaster and accumulate. It will hinder the carriage movement, causing a short circuit of the heating element.
Most of the toasters come with a large crumb tray. Some of them come with a door at the bottom. When you open the door, you can clean up the crumb that accumulates on the bottom of the toaster.
For toasters that are used every day, this work needs to be done once a week. The method is simple. Just unplug the toaster, take the toaster above the trash and open the crumb door.
After dumping most of the crumb, shake the toaster to remove any other particles that may be stuck at the edges. In addition, the toaster should be cleaned regularly, but be careful not to damage sensitive heating elements or switches.
Precautions
1. Do not place any part of the toaster in water or other liquids.
2. Before the first use, please do not put the bread slice. Let the toaster work for about two minutes, there will be a certain amount of smoke coming out, this is a normal phenomenon.
3. Do not touch the hot parts inside the toaster.
4. Keep the toaster out of children.
5. During use, the surface of the toaster will have a certain heat.
6. Do not put oversized bread or metal objects. This will likely result in a short circuit.
7. Please do not use it next to flammable materials such as curtains or clothes to avoid fire.
8. Please do not remove the bread and crumb tray during the work of the toaster (wait until cooling).
