Fashion seems to be more important than function these days when it comes to kitchen appliances. For examples SMEG £150 for a basic toaster in black or green or £190 in white or emerald green. £40 more for a different colour…….

There’s a few single slot toasters on Amazon but they all seem to have enough length to do two slices, so probably not what Michael needs – too big!

Our Dualit is 1/2/3 slice by selector switch.

There is a Single Slot Toaster at The Range.

The “Sunbeam Radiant Control” toaster used to offer single slice operation.

It’s worth sparing 20 minutes on YouTube watching “The Antique Toaster that’s Better than Yours” by “Technology Connections”. Learn how a proper toaster works. Unfortunately no longer manufactured.

Michaels question is fine if the moisture content of the bread is known. But sadly this is where it all goes wrong. To get the precision that Michael wants requires for the bread to be of a known standard and consistent. Bread that is 2 or 3 days old will brown far quicker.

I’m sure if there was a market for such precision then machines would be available,to analyse the bread and then set the time for perfection. To go with this perfection one needs to be ready to collect the bread as it pops up, spread the butter and apply the jam then eat it whilst still warm. I find it’s better to under do it, then give the last few seconds, grab it and go.

Good luck in your quest Michael.     Noel.

I’ve never been keen on review sites, or at least not keen on automatically believing their findings.
I do sometimes uses them as a bit of a specialised search engine.

First one Philips looks interesting, but I’ve never seen a glass sided toaster before (two slice though but arranged longways, which would suit me as I often buy non square bread.).

They seem to have a generous interpretation of the term “single-slice-toaster” 🙂

Did you watch the Sunbeam video that David Clarke linked ?

The patent seems to cover that little hurdle rather well.

The Daewoo glass fronted job looks interesting

But the quoted dimensions are somewhat variable !!
