The Hamilton Beach~ Extra-Wide-Slot 2 Slice Toaster has wider slots that easily fit thicker breads and bagels, as well as upgraded features that you won't find on every toaster. The bagel function perfectly toasts the cut side of bagels and warms the rounded side, giving your bagels just the right combination of crunch and warm, soft bread. Toast Boost gives small breads like English muffins and gluten-free slices a lift so they're easier to remove from the toaster. Toast your bread as brown as you like it with 7 toast shades. Just turn the shade selector to make lighter or darker toast. Cleanup is easy too. The toaster has a drop-down crumb tray that catches crumbs to keep them off your countertop. Just release the tray to discard crumbs. The defrost setting lets you defrost and toast frozen bread and waffles with the press of a button. And the cancel button lets you stop the toasting cycle any time you want. No waiting to get your toast. Auto shutoff automatically shuts off the toaster at the end of the toasting cycle, even if toast gets stuck.
