Veggie Burgers
You might not think a toaster can accomplish this job as much as a toaster oven or a microwave can, but this handy kitchen appliance is just as efficient in cooking this scrumptious meal. Veggie burgers are usually dryer than beef or their meat counterparts, giving them less risk of dripping some oil and splattering around the whole place. Efficient toasters have removable trays to deal with the mess. This makes cooking, reheating, and cleaning easy and breezy.
Reheating Pizza
Whether you just purchased a cold pizza from the grocery store or planned to reheat your leftovers from last night's movie marathon, a toaster can help you enjoy a crunchy and chewy slice of bread; you'd feel like you customised the taste to your own preference. If you want to simply defrost your cold pizza, you can do so without getting a whole microwave involved.
Reheating Fries
For a quick snack, you can use your toaster to bring your leftover fries to life. Although you had plenty the night before, you can still enjoy fresh and crispy fries without adding oils with an efficient toaster. It can also do the trick with your frozen tortilla or onion rings.
Garlic Bread
Serve fresh, hot, and delicious garlic bread slices with a toaster. Add butter and cheese to make the toast tastier and more exciting. But remember to use a toaster bag or parchment paper to prevent the grilled cheese from dripping over your appliance. There is no need to invest in a bigger toaster oven that will just make your kitchen hot and uncomfortable when you have a compact and reliable bread toaster.
Chicken Nuggets
Say goodbye to oily meals by putting your chicken nuggets inside a toaster bag and heating them in your toaster until you achieve your desired brown look and taste. You can also do the trick with your thinly sliced bacon—two easy meals for a lovely breakfast.
What to Look for When Shopping for a Toaster?
Although a very compact kitchen appliance, the toaster comes in many varieties and features. Here are the major factors you need to consider when buying the best toaster in Singapore:
Size of the Toaster
How many slices of bread do you want to toast at once? Can you go with a solo serving, or do you require more servings quicker? Do you typically make smaller bread slices or thicker ones?
A toaster is different from a toaster oven. The toaster oven is a bigger appliance with a bigger surface for cooking, while a toaster comes in slots where you specifically place your food for toasting, cooking, or reheating. The most common toasters have two to four pop-up slots. Some are fitted for regular-sized loaves of bread, while others have bigger slots for bagels and sandwiches. When choosing the size of your toaster, it's important to weigh what you want to do with the appliance against the available space in your kitchen.
Purpose of the Toaster
Although you can do many recipes in a toaster, it's still vital to choose one that fits the purpose that you want to achieve. If you're into fast and basic toasting processes, you can go with simpler, more affordable options. To create more complex recipes, invest in a toaster with multiple heating and browning options.
Ease of Usage
Toasters are generally pretty straightforward to use. Knowing the right settings that fit your preferences and the right toaster size will make the process easier. More high-end toasters come with more browning options and an easy-to-clean crumb tray. If you want to use your toaster with ease, even for more complicated recipes, always use a toaster bag or parchment paper to contain all the mess in one place. Doing this will surely upgrade your meals and reduce your cleaning time.
