Haden Stoke Toaster Review

The Haden Stoke Toaster is a compact, sleek and stylish two slice toaster. It has a brushed stainless steel finish and a modern design, although there are some retro elements mixed in. Its features are extensive. We particularly like the browning control option which allows more choice over the shade and consistency of your toast.

The other features include a defrost function for the quick toasting of frozen bread, a reheat option to provide a quick blast of heat without toasting from scratch, extra wide slots to facilitate the toasting of larger items such as bagels, self-centring guides to help provide an even brown, a removable crumb tray for a clean toast, and more. We go into detail later.

Specification

The features are as follows:

• Variable Browning Control - The browning control dial allows you to make toast exactly how you like it. Whether that's pale/faint brown, golden brown, or dark brown, this toaster can handle it.
• Defrost / Reheat / Cancel - The toaster's "Defrost" button will turn frozen bread into ambient bread ready for toasting (without making it soggy). This means that the toaster is able to make toast from completely frozen bread. "Reheat" provides a quick blast of heat to restore any lost temperature. "Cancel" stops the toasting mid-cycle.
• Extra Wide Slots - The toaster's slots are extra wide to allow for larger items such as bagels to be put inside.
• Self-Centring Guides - The toaster's guides are self-centring, therefore helping the toaster to provide an even brown.
• Removable Crumb Tray - There's a crumb tray which can easily be removed for emptying.
