What Makes Glass Toasters so Amazing
Picture the scene, it is Sunday morning, you have woken up with an extra spring in your step and you decide to prepare a hearty breakfast for the family.
The bacon is sizzling, the eggs are frying and the last thing to do is pop the bread on to be toasted. You place it in the toaster and start setting the table and before you know it, you begin to smell something smoky, the toaster has burnt the toast, again.
Life is pretty rushed nowadays. If you are anything like me then you probably can’t even remember the last time you actually sat down to eat breakfast in the morning on a weekday.
There are always so many things to do before leaving the house like take a shower, iron that shirt before you use it, realize it’s stained, find a new one, iron that, get the kids up and ready for school and try to get them to have some breakfast before shooting out of the door.
There was a time when I was skipping breakfast all together, just grabbing a cup of coffee at the nearest drive-through coffee shop on the way to work and getting on with it, but there is nothing worse than that embarrassing tummy rumble in a dead quiet work meeting at 10.30am when your stomach is empty and your day has only just started.
That is when I decided to get organized. I told myself that I would get up at least 5 minutes earlier for work to at least prepare something to eat on the way out the door.
And I must say, it is going quite well. The secret I think has to do with the kinds of breakfast you prepare.
In the past, I would try to do the whole fancy porridge in the morning with a fruit topping or sit down and eat a healthy bowl of cereal followed by a banana, but being realistic, there is just no time for that in my schedule and the perfect solution for me, is toast.
Why is toast such a perfect solution? Well, apart from being ready to eat after a few mere minutes in the toaster, toast can be popped in a tupperware and eaten as you are rushing out the door, speed walking to work or jumping on the train, something that is not quite so easy to do with cereal or porridge for example – trust me I’ve tried it.
The great thing about toast is also just how versatile it is.
You can really make toast mornings as quick and easy (such as with butter, peanut butter, marmalade or jam spreads) or as wacky and exciting as you would like them (like avocado, sliced tomato and feta cheese for example).
By simply changing the type of bread or spread you use, you can create a whole new breakfast taste.
Looking for a way to spice up your breakfast toast? Try swapping out white bread for wholemeal, multigrain or even a bagel or panini to really shake things up a bit.
Another great thing about toast breakfasts is that they can be prepared in a blink of an eye.
But I am sure you will agree that the success of your breakfast toast is largely dependent on the quality of your toaster. If your toaster burns or takes ages to toast your bread, it will make breakfast time really tedious and laborious.
If your toaster is really getting on your last nerve, or maybe you are treating yourself to a swanky new toaster for your brand new pad then this article is just for you as I will go on to discuss the very best glass toasters on the market.
Let’s face it, no one likes burnt toast and no matter how hard you scrape it, it just seems impossible to bring a burnt slice back to life again.
Time is of the essence in the mornings, there just isn’t any spare time to sit around waiting for bread to toast, popping it up every two minutes to see if it is brown enough yet; neither is there time to spare faffing around scraping the burnt bits off of the toast from when its been in the toaster way too long.
So you may wonder, is there really a solution to this problem? You will be ecstatic to find out that yes, yes there is.
Fancy keeping an eye on your toast from across the room? With a clear glass toaster you can! Glass toasters have a large, transparent viewing window which you can use to check up on the status of your toast, without having to constantly keep popping it up to see if it is brown enough for you to eat.
With a glass toaster you can see when your toast is finished with just a quick glance, meaning you will never have to put up with burnt toast again!
