I think my Toaster is maliciously burning my toast to get to me.

I got this toaster a couple months ago, and it’s been working out so far. A few weeks ago I accidentally hit him out of anger, and he hasn’t talked to me since.

The only thing he has been doing is straight up burning my toast every time I try to make it, even if the settings are right. It’s like he knows it’s gonna make me mad when the toast comes out as charcoal.

We haven’t had this issue in the relationship before, but I was wondering if anyone else had this same problem with their own.

I really want it to last, so I could really use some help. I don’t like making my Toaster angry with me. I feel very sorry for what I did.

Hey all, Im wanting some help when it comes to a toaster I want to get. I want to specifically get a Sanrio pop up kuromi toaster and basically use it for a project of mine, but before getting it, I want to have an idea of the capacity inside the toaster, what it looks like, and is there’s any kind of space or cavities inside it. I know it’s really specific, but I’m wondering if anyone knows off hand or can point me to a very similar toaster that I can use as a reference or perhaps provide some kind of blueprint/diagram. Any and all help is very much appreciated!

With all the detriments being attributed to microplastics in our diet, I’ve been on a mission to reduce my plastic exposure. I kept reading about Dualit and how it’s all steel/metal. Sounds great. Bought one used. When I was cleaning it out, I realized the heating elements have a plastic sheathe on them. I don’t like the idea of cooking my toast in plastic fumes. I’ve seen one source say that it’s some kind of a ceramic plastic, which I do not believe even exists and would still contain plastic anyway. Another source said that it was heat-treated cellophane, which is just as bad because PFAS are used in the heat treatment process. I could use your help answering any one of these three questions:

1. Can anyone shed some light on what the “plastic” sheathe on the heating element might be made of? I think it’s there to prevent bozos from sticking a fork in there and dying.

2. Would it be possible to replace the heating element with a non-plastic one? How would I source that?

3. Can I simply remove the plastic sheathe and put it back in?

My toaster says it should have the right to not give me cancer. Thank you.

Does anyone know where to find more toasters?

Congrats you guys made it onto GMM this morning!

tl;dr: is there anything available with the quality of a "Dualit", but with *long-slice* openings, and does a good job with full-kernel dense slab-type breads?

long story:

So first it must be mentioned that my girlfriend is English. This means toast is a big deal. She often talks about how much she loved her old Dualit before her Toastmaster which died and then I saw the price of a new one and I was like "uh wow... toast must be a big deal." $250? Wow. So, yeah, toast is a big deal.

However, get this: she does not eat any (and I mean any) breads made with regular wheat flour. I don't mean she eats "gluten free" regular bread. Pretty much the only bread she eats is the full kernel German-style breads made with rye. Brands like Mestemacher or Delba if you don't know what I'm talking about. They come in bricks and they're basically whole grains of rye (well, the ones she gets). You open a brick and pull out a slab of dark dense packed kernels of grains. Pumpernickel is one example but even if I say pumperknickel most people will think i'm talking about black or brown but spongy bread. Nothing spongy about this bread. It's not crispy like Wasa. That's like a cracker. But it's definitely a slab shape like this stuff.

ANYWAY... because these slices are thin and long, they do not fit in a normal toaster. As I mentioned she had an old Toastmaster (I think that was the name) long-slice toaster which died. She liked that thing. But she will not buy a used toaster and they don't make it anymore. At least not like they used to.

See, she HATES all the new toasters with LEDs and buttons instead of dials and all electronic stuff she doesn't need. So I let her use my Toastmaster toaster oven. This did the job but even that is failing now. And if you ask a firefighter they will tell you toaster ovens are one of the biggest reasons for fires so she's not inclined to fix it.

So she's back to broiling the bread in the oven. Which uses a lot of energy.

This entire ordeal has gone on for over 2 years. I want to trash the toastmaster and get her a toaster. The Dualit is a bit pricy for me especially since she was happy with the Toastmaster (both of them), but I'm hoping there is something more affordable with the quality of the Dualit or Toastmaster but has regular potentiometer type dials and slides and not electronic buttons AND can take long slices.

After tipping out the crumbs the lever no longer stays down!! V annoying... Ive watched all the you tube videos showing how to fix the issue but this specific model doesnt seem to let you take the bottom/casing off even once you remove all the screws so any bright ideas how to fix it another way or if there is some secret way to remove the bottom of the toaster which isnt obvious? It seems really securely attached. Tried wedging a knife in to try and pop it out but it seems like its secured another way besides the screws. Toaster works fine if you hold the lever down hence be good to fix if possible!

Thanks

Hi all,

My parents decided to renovate the kitchen while I was abroad for a month and I recently came back to find out they have thrown out our toaster because I was apparently the only one in the house who used it. I am really quite upset.

Now I am looking to buy a toaster of my own and am looking for some tips/recommendations on which one I should go for. Does anyone have any suggestions?

My friend has a toaster, he won't pay his toaster a singular dime, he only feeds the toaster bread crumbs and bath water, please send prayers for his toaster :(
