Bodum's new Bistro Flatbed Toaster is a flatbed toaster with no slots. Your bread or bagels rest on the toaster's surface. A dial controls the temperature and desired level of browning. The toaster also has a slide-out crumb tray.
This is the slotless toaster that can toast any type of bread, regardless of its thickness. Since bread is placed directly on the heated flatbed surface--not inside narrow slots--you can toast thick bagels or croissants, Texas toast, or baguettes. The unit has a 700-watt heating element that radiates through the 10 1/4" x 7" stainless-steel surface, browning or defrosting bread quickly and evenly. You can select your preferred level of browning with the turn of a dial and the under-mounted crumb tray slides out for fast, easy cleanup. When not in use, the slotless toaster can be stored on its side, freeing up valuable counter space.
The slotless toaster can be purchased in black here on Hammacher.com for $89.95. The toasters are also available in different colors here on the Bodum.com website.
