We are in the market for a new toaster, and we are so drawn by the rave reviews and sleek retro lines of Dualit toasters. But the prices are seriously hefty! Are these toasters worth it? More

Q: Where can I find a green toaster (other than the one by Bodum...)???

We often get questions about cooking in small spaces. While recommending another appliance might not seem like the logical answer, a counter-top oven is actually a great solution for energy-conscious, small-space cooking.

Let me count the ways... More

We like toast, it's a quick snack or even dinner sometimes. But our love for toast is matched by our hatred for cleaning fingerprints off the side of the toaster. That is, until we saw the new rubber exteriors on these brightly colored versions, from Bodum. Is it wrong to call a toaster sexy? More

As we look to pare down and keep our kitchen appliances to a minimum, the first thing to go for many people is a toaster. It is the definitive single-use appliance, and it can take up far too much precious counter space.

But we don't want to give up toast, and it seems a waste to turn on the broiler for just a slice of toast to go with a morning egg. Enter the combo microwave oven and toaster. More

This sleek little toaster from Alessi has a feature that we've heard of (in books) but never actually seen: a bread and bun warmer. Read on for another photo of this interesting little feature... More

We've given approving thumbs up to toaster ovens many times here at The Kitchn; they're great for cooking in hot weather, reheating food without a microwave and for baking when you don't have a proper kitchen.

Dear Kitchen,

I'm hoping you can provide a recommendation for a good toaster oven. I got rid of my years-old, $10 bargain-buy toaster oven when I moved.

I'm looking for a reliable, medium-sized toaster oven that is under $100 and is easy to use and clean. Am I seeking the impossible?
