    Hello Fluff! :)

    I like 'hotel toast'; you know, quite cold when you butter it..

    Me too. I love a good triangle of toast cooling in a silver toast rack to the point of being rock-hard. There's just something so 1970s and, I don't know... reassuring about it. Timeless innit.

    Find a Krups at a kitchen outlet. The fact the design hasn't changed in the 8 years since we bought ours suggests it is tried and tested.

    I read the Which report prior to considering buying a toaster,it basically said none of them work very well ie toast a slice of bread evenly.So i gave up on the idea and use my grill now.
