It's not you, it's your toaster. Forget about cold toast forever with The KitchenAid Manual Toaster. It keeps toast warm after the toasting time is finished.
All those other toasters spit toast upwards and leave it waving in the breeze getting cool, while you're trying to co-ordinate your eggs, coffee, whatever. The Kitchenaid Toaster leaves the toast safely inside until your ready for it. You then manually raise the knob on the side to claim your prize.
KitchenAid's toaster also has wider slots than the pretenders. It takes crumpets, and lets you cut your toast really thickly.
