Breville – toast to perfection

on

I am a big fan of breakfast. Proof stands all my gallery of recipes best enjoyed in the morning. From eggs royal to a proper English breakfast, I can’t say no to waking up in the morning to a fresh pot of tea and delicious food. It all starts with the perfect slice of toasted bread. When I first looked into toasters, I was a bit disappointed. When the price was right, the bad reviews made me cringe; when the reviews were great, the design lacked everything a fashionista wants; when the design and reviews were amazing, the price made me sell half of my wardrobe. You can see where I’m going.

My mom had a saying: you can’t have everything. Well, I am so stubborn, that I looked for the perfect toaster that understands the art of achieving that even golden brown tone, with a soft centre and a crunchy, crispy crust. You also want your toaster to be deep enough to fit all types of breads, such as Warburtons, Kingsmill and Hovis. After testing a few toasters, I have finally discovered the right one! I am talking about Breville 4 slice toaster, retailed for £59.99. If you’re by yourself, there is the 2 slice toaster option, retailed for £34.99. But let me tell you about what I can now say is one of the members of my family.

First of all, it fits all Warburtons bread to perfection, so no more white strip at the top! The colour the bread gets is amazing! Even, goldish, you can control it with the look and lift facility: view your toast’s progress without cancelling the cycle. How awesome is that? The Breville toaster also has high lift facility, meaning smaller slices can be removed easily without burning fingers. Defrost, reheat and mid-cycle cancel functions, removable crumb tray for easy cleaning, non-slip feet, do I need to say more? Also, we shouldn’t forget about the looks! Premium high shine stainless steel, for a slick and modern kitchen. I can honestly say I am in love with my toaster, it makes the bread exactly as I wanted: crispy, brown, delicious!

 Keep a constant eye out for the colour of the bread, you want the bread to have that golden brown glow. Taking it out too soon often results in soft squidgy bread, but with the look and lift feature of the Breville 2 & 4 slice toaster – the perfect fit for Warburtons® – you can keep an eye on the colour of your toast and toast to the top without having to cancel the cycle. Tasty Toppings It’s time to go wild! Add whatever toppings rock your boat, whether it is lathering your toast in butter or burying it in beans. If you have a sweet tooth why not try the classic strawberry jam or you could go for a healthier option and try almond butter with blueberries. Both delicious! Create the Cut Do not underestimate how important this is to your toast and the impact it can have. We suggest keeping slices whole if you are topping with ingredients such as beans or yoghurt and fruit where you will need a knife and fork. If you are topping with a spread then we suggest cutting into triangles, preferably two, then it is easiest to hold without getting the spread all over your cheeks. Enjoy!
