Have you ever looked at a toaster oven and thought dang this would be perfect, if only it sported an inefficient open grill type of design without the enclosure? Then this is the product for you!
I got this 'toaster' assuming the bread went inside of it. It doesnt. It instead goes on top. I still have not figured out any advantage to this design. I'm sure there is one. But so far I've only found the following disadvantages: You cannot use it under a cabinet, because the cabinet will get much too hot. It is not able to get breads really dark, because it loses so much heat. And you have to flip the bread over to get it dark on both sides. This means to get your piece of bread blackened the toast time is nearly quadrupled. (2 sides x 2 cycles/side)
This is clearly a purpose built device. But what is that purpose? I mean i guess if you wanted to toast something ridiculously huge, like a loaf of bread all at once or a sandwich? But again you could use a toaster oven and have it done much more efficiently.
I looked through the instruction book to see if it had any suggestions or recipies, but nothing.
To be clear: It did exactly what it was supposed to. I'm just not sure what its supposed to accomplish.

A unique twist on an everyday household appliance, this low-profile flatbed toaster features a flat stainless-steel heating surface that works with any size or type of bread--unlike a standard toaster's drop-in slots, which limit the thickness of bread and can cause items to get stuck. The toaster accommodates up to four traditional slices of sandwich bread at a time, and its variable shade setting can be easily adjusted from light to dark with a simple turn of the browning dial (1 to 9 setting options). Use the flatbed toaster to toast anything from breakfast toast, English muffins, croissants, and bagels to personal pizzas, tortillas, hamburger buns, or other oversized food items. Simply place the item to be toasted directly on the heating surface--it will only toast the one side, so the bread must be flipped in order to toast both sides. In addition to toasting, the versatile unit can be used to effectively defrost frozen bread or to reheat previously toasted items. Other highlights include an on/off power indicator light, a slide-out crumb tray for quick cleanup, and a sleek, stylish design that will not only complement any kitchen countertop or buffet, but that also stands vertically on its side for compact storage when not in use. Made from durable stainless steel with an attractive silicone finish, the flatbed toaster measures approximately 14-3/5 by 10-1/5 by 3 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
