2 Slice Toasters in Toasters(376)

Are there any two-slot toasters that can handle longer pieces of artisanal breads like slices from round sourdough and rye loaves?

Yes. Look for extra-long two-slice toasters with the capacity for extra-long toast slices. Normal toasters are around 10 inches to 12 inches long, while extra long two-slice toasters measure up to 16 inches in length.

What is the bagel setting on a two-slice toaster?

The bagel setting means the bagel halves are toasted on only one side. You make sure the cut sides are placed in the slots on the toasting side, so the outer sides of your bagel halves stay tender and chewy. Some two-slice toasters have adjustable slots. The bagel setting for the slots would mean the slots become wider to accommodate thicker breads like bagel halves and English muffins.

What are some of the extra features I can get in a two-slice toaster?

Two-slice toasters are available in special versions that include attached breakfast stations, steel racks that stand over the toaster slots to heat croissants and pastries, and a slide-through mechanism that serves your finished toast on a tray at the bottom of the toaster.
