>what, pray tell, does this 'bagel button' do?
Why, pray tell, do you not understand that a sliced bagel is an asymmetrical object, with one side being rounded crust and the other being flat inner-bread?
Do you honestly not see why you might want the heating to be asymmetric as well?
why, pray tell, can't you just say what it does? does it turn off one of the elements? if so, pray tell, can't it just be labeled "top-" or "bottom-toast" rather than "bagel"? surely--indoubtedly, even--there's more than one bakery item which fits your bagel button's criteria of assymetricality?
Instead of heating from both sides it heats from one. It's not labeled otherwise because everyone knows what the bagel button does and this nomenclature is basically standard across brands. At least, in America.
My understanding of the bagel button is that it offers a slightly longer, lower temperature toast so as not to burn the exterior before it's been heated through.
Your understanding is incorrect. It disables the heating coil on one side in each slot so you can toast only the cut side of the bagel.
No.
I own a toaster oven. Hell, it’s an insult to call it that. It’s a countertop convection oven that does oven things just as well as by “real” one, which I barely touch anymore.
But it does not make toast as good as what comes out of a quality slot-toaster. This goes even moreso for bagels.
On top of an inferior result, it takes significantly longer.
I only have toast/bagels every once in a while so I consider it “good enough”, but if those were things I ate frequently, I’d buy a good slot toaster.
Sounds like you bought a piece of shit like a moron and now you're mad about it
Toaster oven does literally the same thing but you can fit more in it at a time usually. It's also easier to see how toasted it is and catch it exactly where you want it
Bread directly next to heating implement. Low volume.

Takes longer. Doesn't get as crispy. Everything in life is a trade off. If you want fast crispy toast them the slot toaster can't be beat
If it's for a slice or two that seems expensive paying fifty bucks and toothpaste green color.

It's shit
If you want to get a faux-vintage pastel novelty toaster, at least get one that looks half decent like pic related.
Or just go to your local thrift stop and get an actual 50s chrome toaster for like 7 bucks
The American breakfast starts with an entire loaf. I understand you are poor and need to ration bread to make it through the winter, Boris, but out here in the land of milk and honey, we do things just a little bit differently.
Do all American toasters have a bagel button?
now that i think about it, i don’t think i’ve ever seen a toaster without a bagel button
How else are you supposed to toast one side of your ham and cheese bagel? Bagel is less text than “Single-side”.
All the non-shit ones yeah
here it comes
Oy vey, removing the bagel button is antisemitic.
That’s Israeli
It's a great feature for any time you only want to toast one side of the bread. For example, toasting english muffins or burger buns.
what, pray tell, does this 'bagel button' do? is it like the 'popcorn' button on a microwave?

I have one of these, and I think it's a great toaster. My mom bought one after visiting me.
Bagel mode comes in handy to toast things on one side.
Looks fricking terrible, so buy it you fricking loser. Need some validation you big baby?
just wanted to see what other anons thoughts about it were on here and if there would be any neat suggestion here on my favorite board. Le problem?
I think it looks great, 50$ seems cheap enough. I was going to recommend a salamander, but those cost at least 2x as much.
>buying a slot toaster
Why do people do this? A toaster oven is exponentially more useful and makes a slot toaster entirely redundant
Nah if you want to toast a slice or two then slot can't be beat
Toaster oven does literally the same thing but you can fit more in it at a time usually. It's also easier to see how toasted it is and catch it exactly where you want it
Howso? What is the advantage?
Bread directly next to heating implement. Low volume.

Money is meant to be spent

I dunno op I just bought a toaster oven for $60 that has a lot more options.
>Novelty kitchen item with button presets for different items and knobs. Comes in enameled pastel colors.
Why no pink?
I can’t believe an oven has been mentioned and yet no lurking poltards have gone there with the missing button
my roommate got that toaster
it's very mid
I bought that same toaster for less than half that brand new. You're overpaying.

Do Americans really toast and eat whole loaves???
yes. They also wear big white daipers everywhere, like in the movies.

>larping non-American detected
Pic is an accurate portrayal of true American breakfast.
Why? It's your money
This thing makes a better space heater than a toaster. It takes forever to toast.
