Bosch Village 2 Slice Toaster Review

The Bosch Village Toaster is a durable and modern two slice toaster with an elegant matt white finish. It's a premium toaster, designed with practicality in mind. Its main selling point is its pop-up warming rack, allowing the warming of croissants, buns and similar. It comes equipped with variable temperature settings so you can make toast with your ideal colour and texture.

Its other features are numerous. They include extra wide slots for the toasting of larger items such as bagels and crumpets, a defrost function for the quick and easy toasting of frozen items, a reheat function to warm items back up, a high lift to easily remove smaller items, automatic centring for an even browning, and a removable crumb tray for convenience.

Specification

We now take a look at the features in more detail:

• Variable Temperature - There's a browning dial on the side which has six options. Whether you like crispy light brown toast, or a darker crunch, this toaster is able to cater for you.
• Warming Rack - The toaster is equipped with a toasting rack. Most other toasters don't have this feature, although many Bosch toasters do. It's a nice touch, and it's always useful to put freshly heated croissants or bagels on it.
• Wide Slots - The toaster has wide slots to accommodate larger breaded items such as bagels and crumpets. The slots will automatically centre whatever is put into them.
• High Lift - The toasting lever is capable of a high lift. This means that smaller items such as bagels can be removed from the slots without burnt fingertips.
• Defrost / Reheat / Cancel - There are three functions on the side of the toaster. "Defrost" will make the toaster toast bread straight from the freezer as if it were already defrosted. "Reheat" will provide a quick blast of heat. "Cancel" will stop the toasting cycle early.
• Removable Crumb Tray - The toaster allows for an easy clean up through the use of a removable crumb tray.
• Cord Storage - Any excess electrical lead can be stored inside of the toaster.

Matching Kettle

The Bosch Village Kettle matches the Village Toaster in design and style. The two coordinate perfectly well together, and are worth considering if you're after a kitchen redesign. They are available on amazon.co.uk.

Summary

All in all, the Bosch Village Toaster is a good toaster. It has a lovely matt white finish, and plenty of practical and useful features. Our favourite feature is the pop-up warming rack, although other strong features include the wide toasting slots for bagels and similar, a reheat function, a defrost function and the variable browning control. We rate the Village Toaster 4.5 out of 5 stars.
