'There's a good reason why the toaster still lives on so many countertops: It's a simple appliance that does a great job at making comfort food even better,” says Christine Pittman, cookbook author and blogger at Cook the Story. Small but mighty, toasters are great for making a variety of quick and easy meals-just drop in a slice or two of bread for a quick warm breakfast or a delicious sandwich upgrade. Whether you spend a lot of time in the kitchen or not, toasters are one of the easiest to use yet most essential kitchen appliances you’ll probably purchase.
