It is something that goes with everything; it is something we can eat on the run. Toast can be topped with lots of yummy stuff such as butter, jelly, honey, peanut butter, cinnamon, and cheese. So toast might be considered as American as apple pie and hot dogs.
Now since American take their toast so seriously, it is quite obvious they take their toasters just as seriously. Serious toast lovers love the 4 slice toaster by Dualit. And since toast has now gotten to be fashionable for lunch and dinner, it is even more important that we have a great toaster for our bread. The Dualit fills the bill for toasting all sorts of breads. Toasters have become quite versatile these days. While toasting bread is what they are made for, they can serve other purposes too.
If you want a cheap toaster, then Dualit is not for you. This toaster does not cost $12. Sorry, but technology is not cheap. And the Dualit is loaded with the latest technology, a variety of modern features, and we don’t want to forget that it is a nice looking appliance. Any Dualit model would look great on a counter-top. You don’t want to keep this beautiful appliance under wraps. When your friends see this toaster sitting proudly on your kitchen countertop, they are going to be thoroughly impressed. And once you let them try the Dualit four slice toaster, they are going to want one for themselves.
As stated the Dualite is an expensive toaster. The Dualite Vario 4 slice toaster is about 
$314. Now before you say, “no way, man” you might want to consider some of the amazing features of this appliance. It comes with an automatic shut off. It has a removable crumb tray. (Many cheap toasters have crumb trays that are not removable, making clean up a real chore.) It has an adjustable rear foot. Does your toaster have an adjustable rear foot? Probably not, if it is cheap.
Its ProHeat elements have won awards and it has a patented design, which makes toasting much more efficient. This element also helps keep the toaster working well, thus making it last a long time. Impressed yet? It adjusts to the width of the bread. Remember the last time you tried to cram a bagel into a cheap toaster? It was probably messy and it didn’t toast right. Remember trying to get the bagel out of the toaster. Hope you didn’t get shocked or burned. That wouldn’t happen with the Vario.
Here’s another neat thing about the Vario and other Dualit models. They come with an optional sandwich cage. This does cost extra, but if you love toasted sandwiches, it might very well be worth it. There is nothing better than a delicious toasted sandwich. A footnote to this is that when your bread begins to get stale, you won’t notice if it is toasted. Smart cooks have been doing this for years to get their money’s worth from their bread.
These 4 slice toasters are really pretty too. They come in some neat colors such as red, yellow, pink, and chrome. Think about the décor in your kitchen. Is red your color? How would one of these beautiful red toasters look sitting proudly on your kitchen countertop? Maybe you are into a little more contemporary look. Then the chrome toaster might be the perfect appliance for you. Nothing brightens a kitchen like sunny yellow. Wouldn’t a beautiful yellow Dualit be perfect in your kitchen?
While beautiful colors and a pretty design is certainly important, it is the technology of this toaster that makes it such a super appliance. It is simple, yet sophisticated. It is beautiful, yet hard working. It isn’t cheap, but quality never is. And if you want quality, then Dualit is your man.
Yes, I agree that $314 is a lot of money for a toaster, but Dualit does make a less expensive model. It is the Dualit Lite 4-slice toaster. The Lite toaster is priced at $79. Not too shabby. It is still more expensive that a lot of toasters, but a lot of those toasters will break within a year. Then you’ll be stuck with replacing it. Then the next cheap one will break too. So you might as well get the superior quality of Dualit. Don’t waste time and money on a toaster that will break and only frustrate you and your family, not to mention it probably won’t toast bread worth a flip.
Most of the online reviews are positive. Every once in a while, someone will say negative things about the Dualit. Most folks love their Dualit toasters. They love the look, the technology, and are willing to pay more for a toaster that will do the job it was built to do. Congratulations if you are the proud owner of one of these splendid toasters. You should get years of service and lots of great toast from it.
When perusing through the online reviews, I found that one of the major reasons that people bought the Dualit was because it was not made in China. It seems that people really don’t trust the MADE IN CHINA label. They don’t want their products from that country because they feel their products are of inferior quality. Inferior quality has no room in the line of products from Dualit. So when you purchase from them, you know the quality is top notch.
Dualit four slice toasters, the Vario toaster, and the Dualite Lite toaster can all be found in find department stores everywhere. Stores such as Target, Macy’s, and Nordstrom’s usually carry this brand. Or you love to do your shopping in the privacy of your home, then check out the online sites that sell Dualit. Amazon is a really good place to find high quality appliances with Dualit being one of them. You might find it a little cheaper online, but remember there are usually shipping and handling charges. With a little web surfing, you might run across a site that offers free shipping. And another little aside is you won’t be using your gas to run all over the place looking for your toaster.
For toast lovers, here are a few little tips for utilizing your toaster to the max. If you buy a bakery loaf of bread (unsliced) and you plan to save it for a later day, then here’s something you might want to try. For quick and delicious toast, slice the leftover bread before you freeze it. Then remove only as many slices as you need and toast them in your toaster right from the freezer. Bakery bread is so delicious. When toasted with butter, jelly, jam, or honey, you can only imagine what a treat it is.
Another tip for leftover bread is to toast it, then cut it into squares for croutons. Toss the croutons in butter or add some garlic to the butter. What a great way to top off a salad! Fresh bread is best when stored in a paper bag. If you want to serve your bread warm, place it in a 375 degree oven for 5 to 8 minutes depending on the size of the loaf. If you have any leftover, remember to save those for toast or croutons.
Another use for toast is to use it in bruschetta. They may seem a little unorthodox, but give it a try and see if you like it. You might be surprised. Maybe you have some ideas of your own for toasted bread. If you buy a high quality toaster, then don’t hesitate to try those ideas as soon as possible. You might even discover that what you have created could very well turn into a family favorite.
