This should be easy to do. The challenge, design a simple toaster that actually toasts bread evenly. The three contenders: Pop-up toasters, conveyor ovens, and toaster ovens. So which style does the best job?...Pop-up toasters work the best, by far. Because they are designed to toast bread, period.

Still, it's hard to find a good toaster even with so many manufacturers producing them. KitchenAid, Kenwood, Oster, Krups, and Cuisinart all make the pop-up toaster. Even still not all pop-ups make great toast.

Finally a pop-up toaster that toasts evenly. The Viking 4 Slice Toaster, which is part of the Viking Professional line, was designed to brown evenly every time. The Viking Professional line was created to provide durable small kitchen appliances for home use.

The Viking Professional Toaster has two models, the 2 slot and the 4 slot models. This article will be covering the 2 slot toaster model but most of the features are available in the 4 slot model as well.

The Viking 2 slot toaster has 1000 watts of power and 6 browning settings to ensure even browning every time. This heavy duty professional-grade toaster is crafted from stainless steel and has smooth rounded edges which allow for easy cleaning.

The Viking professional toaster has a unique control knob for re-warming food without re-toasting it. With its extra wide slots it can handle even large food items like bagels and thick bread slices. Smaller food items are no problem for the Viking design either, due to the lifting action levers with extra lift. A simple upward pull on the lever will bring the out of reach food item to the top of the toaster, making it easy to lift out.

Toast crumbs are handled easily with the stainless steel pull-out tray located in the bottom front of the toaster. The clean-up task is fast because of the convenient location of the tray.

The Professional line of Viking kitchen appliances come in four colors; White, Black, Stainless Gray, and Bright Red. Other appliances in the professional line are the Viking Food Processor, Viking Stand Mixer, Viking Hand Mixer, Viking Hand Blender and the Viking Blender.

The Perfect Toast!
