Hello, guys. I’m gonna simply ask you a question directly, are you looking for the pop-up toaster in India? If yes, then you’re at the correct place.

In this article, I’ll explain you what to look before purchasing the best pop-up toasters in India.

As the name tells, this kitchen appliance is used primarily for bread toasting purposes. But, thanks to the technological advancements, the toasters can now also reheat and defrost the food.

They are also called as the bread toaster because people are primarily using them for toasting breads. And, when you put the bread into it, it automatically pops-up the bread. So, they sometime also be called Auto Pop-up Toasters.

The bread toasters are extremely useful when you’re scrambling in the morning and need breakfast immediately. It’s a very useful but small kitchen appliance. All you need to do is just put the bread inside the slots, set the browning settings, and leave it on its own. Once the timer finishes-off, it will automatically pop-up the toasted bread. And, you can enjoy the crispy taste.

So, let’s jump in to dig the factors you should look first before purchasing one.

Browning Slots

The browning slots are also called as the toasting slots. The most popular and common value is 2. The most of toasters available in the market come with 2 slots. And, it’s enough for the family of 5–6 people. However, If you’re a large family or joint family, then you can opt for 6-slot pop-up toasters. But, also remember that with increase in the number of slots, you will also have to pay higher price. In addition to that, higher-slots pop-up toaster also tends to consume more electricity compared to ideal-slots pop-up toaster. So, that’s something you should look at.

In addition to that, the size of the slot also matters here. The slot should be enough large to fit different size breads easily. However, there’s no fix size. But, you can imagine from the product’s images.

Power Consumption

It’s the amount of electricity it can consume when run for an hour. The common 2-slot pop-up toaster consume 700–800 Watts. However, many brands have brought it to 900-Watt also. With higher browning-settings, you gonna get higher power-consumption.

The 4-slot ones consume up to 1500-Watt of power, which is nearly equivalent to the Oven Toaster Griller’s requirement. Remember that the OTG (oven toaster griller) is very different appliance. It can bake, toast, and grill whereas the pop-up toaster can only toast the food.

Three important features: Defrost, Reheat, and Cancel button

It doesn’t matter whatever auto pop-up toaster you go for, you should always verify that it can defrost the food, reheat it, and should be able to cancel the toasting procedure. In addition to that, all of this features should come as handy. Means, they should be easily, directly, and separately accessible. In simple words, there should be separate buttons for all of these important features.

The cool touch body

The body of the toaster should enough-cool to touch. Otherwise, it may led to scalding. Nowadays, the most of the Pop-up toasters come with a cool-touch body. However, the continuous long-time use may make the body a little bit warm. But, that won’t reach to the dangerous situation.

Browning levels

The browning levels are also called as searing levels. They are accessible through the knob and offer you different kind of toasting. In most of the pop-up toasters, the minimum value is 6.

You can see in the above image that there’re six types of toasted breads. The browning settings go from low to higher (let to right). The above image of toasted breads also helps you find the right searing level for your morning breakfast. And, it’s also make sense that lower browning level means low consumption of electricity. So, that’s something you should aware of.

Non-slip base

The base of this kitchen appliance should be made of anti-skid feet. So that, it can’t slip accidentally. Every toaster manufacturer knows it and supplies their products with anti-skid feet. But, you should also verify it.

So, that’s all the thing I would like cover in this article. I hope you enjoyed it.
