I recall from some postings here some time back that Dualit is the
choice of many, so wondering if that's still the learned opinion.


Some people love Dualits and defend all their failings (many in
common with other toasters) with a vigour that equals the venom used
against Dyson vacuum cleaners.

No toaster is consistent between consequative slices, this is the
major failing IMHO but it's not an easy problem to solve. Personally
Dualits are expensive objects for poseurs. If I was going for a
toaster I'd go for summat from the middle range of a known brand but
without bells and whistles of a display or other gimicks.


I've often meant to try Paul Hogan's method (from the show) of hanging the
bread on a nail and running a blowtorch over it.

Toast ideally needs to be made with a very hot grill for a short time to
avoid drying out too much.
