The Magimix Colored Vision Toaster let's you watch your toast while it browns up. Four quartz heating elements produce crisp, uniformly browned toast, and there's even four preprogrammed heat settings that include Toast, Bagel, Reheat and Defrost. The extra-wide slots accommodate the thickest bagels and toast. And if you're wondering about spending $200 bucks for a toaster - this one is built to last for 30,000 uses.

Sure Americans love their pop-up toaster, but if you go out to breakfast somewhere a bit more upscale you know the wonders of buttered toast off the grill. With the Bodum Flat Toaster you'll be able to make this amazing buttered toasted grilled bread at home, and because of the grilling surface size - every piece of toast you make will fit and get an even buttering.

Picking the best toaster or toaster oven can be and is a very personal thing, and for us here at Kitchen Contraptions highly based on what you want to toast and cook. If you really just want toast - then a pop-up toaster may work for you, but if you want to use the toaster for an oven as well - then using a toaster oven combo will be a great bet. We also recognize that using a toaster to simply make breakfast sandwiches with eggs in them is also very desirable for those on the go.
We've compiled a list of best toasters and toaster ovens we think will meet these toasting needs and others.

It's been about 3 years since our last toaster oven upgrade, and we think it's about time we upgrade our toaster again. The Cuisinart Custom Classic Toaster Oven Broiler has 1800 Watts to toast, bagel, bake and broil with a full size interior holds that can hold an 11 inch pizza and 6 slices of toast. We're not sure it can hold an entire 3-4lb chicken but we have a rotisserie for that now.
Features include:
- Stainless steel front with rubberized easy grip dials and cool touch handle with easy clean nonstick interior and a front removable tray
- Always even shade control monitors the temperature and adjusts timing to consistently toast to the shade selected every time
- Convenient auto side-out rack for hands free loading and easy removal of cooked foods and automatic shutoff safety feature
- Includes: baking pan/drip pan, broiling rack, wire rack, front removable slide-out crumb tray, and a clutter-free cord wrap

The Oster Digital Large Capacity Toaster Oven has been recognized as one of the best products of 2011 in a leading consumer research magazine, and we think we know why. When you combine a 6-slice toaster oven with convection technology for faster, more even cooking and pair that with digital controls with interior light for easy viewing - you get toaster oven perfection. The extra-large interior holds 13 by 9 pan, whole chickens, casseroles, roasts and hams. We think you could probably park your car in there too. There's even aremovable external crumb tray, and two rack positions. We love the shape of the oven as well, and think this may be our next toaster oven purchase.

We love a good toaster grill, and this one from Jata is pretty killer looking. It features 4 quartz elements which are positioned evenly under a large toasting surface to deliver perfect toasted breads and rolls. There's even a crumb tray, along with just an off/on switch to get things started. Price is around € 25 at Jata, and we think we want one now.

Our current toast and convection oven is getting a little long in the tooth, so recently we've been on the lookout for another toaster and convection oven we could replace it with. The Breville BOV800XL The Smart Oven 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven with Element IQ 1800-watt convection toaster oven with 4/5-cubic-foot nonstick interior is about the same size as our Cuisinart, and it features element IQ technology for smarter control over the heat. It also has 9 pre-set functions, and the 5 quartz heating elements allow things to cook evenly. It also has a auto-eject wire rack, removable crumb tray, pizza pan, baking pan, and a broil rack. We use our broil rack all the time and you can see below you can even cook ribs. YUM!
