Designed to withstand the most demanding home use, this two-slice toaster blends the durability of stainless steel and die-cast metal with professional-quality performance, producing wonderfully consistent toast slice after slice. Each of the toaster's extra-long, extra-wide 1-inch toasting slots can easily handle the thickest bagels, specialty breads, and toaster pastries. On the inside sits an electronic heat sensor that controls the toasting, accounting for the unit's unmatched consistency. And to ensure that the toast doesn't cool down too quickly, KitchenAid added a keep-warm function, which keeps the toast heated in the toaster cavity until it's manually lifted out. Other details include a full-width stainless-steel crumb tray that's dishwasher-safe, a power cord that wraps neatly into the base for tidy storage, nine shade settings, over-temperature protection, and a true vertical lift that makes it a breeze to remove bread after toasting. The two-slice toaster measures 10-21/32
