The Artisan Toaster truly offers the ultimate toasting experience : the Auto Sensor automatically lowers and lifts all types of toast before browning according to seven grades of “golden”, counted down by an LED timer. Like a thoughtful friend, if you’re called away, the Artisan Toaster will also keep your toast warm. It also features a sandwich rack to prepare delicious, no-drip toasted sandwiches and a bagel function for perfect bagels and buns. Furthermore, the four slice version features 2 independent pairs of slots to toast 2 or 4 slices of bread, for extra functionality. If the kitchen is the heart of the home, our Artisan Toaster will be the heart of your kitchen!
