One of the best things to eat for breakfast is a nice slice of toast (or two) with some jam or butter and a cup of coffee by the side. But toasting bread on a pan can be quite troublesome – and often end up in a charred mess. This is why many have been turning to convenient toasters for a fail-proof yummy breakfast! Check out our rundown of the best toasters in Singapore which will be sure to shave some minutes off your morning routine.
While the toaster is a relatively simple kitchen appliance, it can be hard to navigate the wide variety of toaster brands and sizes available. Essentially, there are two main types of toasters – pop-up toasters and toaster ovens.
Pop-up toasters are the most common type of toasters on the market, which usually come in two-slice or four-slice varieties. It is simple to use – all you have to do is drop your bread in the slot, press down the lever and the toast will pop up when it’s ready. Some pop-up toasters work best if you plan to use standard-sized bread, while others offer wider slots that can accommodate other pastries like bagels.
Toaster ovens are another alternative for making toast but can also be used to make other treats like pizzas and cookies. Some people also use toaster ovens as a replacement for a standard oven as they consume less electricity and require less cooking time. They also take up less space on your kitchen tabletop as compared to a proper oven and can fit as many as nine slices of toast at one time – great for large families!
Whether you’re getting a brand new toaster for your humble abode or replacing an old one you’ve had for years, here are a couple of questions to consider when choosing the best toasters in Singapore:
If all you are intending to toast is bread, then a simple pop-up toaster will do the trick. However, if you’re intending to toast other pastries like waffles or muffins, you might want to consider getting a toaster oven instead.
The size of the toaster matters depending on how many slices of bread you want to toast at once. Pop-up toasters usually allow either two or four slices while toaster ovens can fit up to nine slices.
You also have to consider how much kitchen space you have to fit your new toaster. Pop-up toasters are generally compact while toaster ovens will occupy a larger space on the countertop.
