The KitchenAid Artisan 2 Slice Black Cast Iron Toaster is a welcome addition to the Artisan toaster family. The die-cast metal construction means this toaster is as strong and robust as it looks in its cast iron livery.  It\'s packed full of functions too! With 7 shade settings and a LED countdown timer you have full control allowing you to get perfectly browned toast every time. Don\'t worry if you are not around when the toaster has finished its toasting cycle. An auto sensor will lift and lower your toast keeping it warm for your return. The extra-wide toasting slots accommodate any size of bread and a defrost function allows you to gently defrost frozen bread before toasting it. There is also a bagel function which will warm the outside whilst toasting the inside of your bagel. For added versatility the toaster comes with a sandwich rack allowing you to make perfect toasted sandwiches. 5 year KitchenAid guarantee.
