It's Appliance Fridays and today we're talking about the most ubiquitous kitchen countertop appliance - the toaster. We all grew up with them: Simple machines that had 2 slots, one lever and a dial for doneness. Today's toasters are a lot more involved and a whole lot prettier than those of our childhood. And they can cost upwards of $400. We put 4 toaster models through their paces to see what all the hype is about and find out what new features and tricks the machines have that we just can't live without. And there are a few. Listen in and discover a world about toast that you never knew existed.
