Commercial Bagel Biter Review

Commercial Bagel Biter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned the original version of the bagel biter (residential version) for a few years and used it a lot.
The only issue I had with it was that it was/is hard to get larger bagels in to cut, and the blade got dull and is not replaceable.
So, when I went to replace it I saw the reviews here for the commercial version and several positive comments about cutting larger bagels.
So I bought this product and what I found is that it is the identical size of my original version...2" X 5". This was a disappointment.
The ONLY differences I see are that this one says for Commercial use only, it is grey and the original was white, and the blade is replaceable (nice feature).
Otherwise they seem to be identical. I still struggle to fit my bagels from Giant into the cutter. Also, the cost on Amazon of the residential version is about the cost of a replacement blade for this product. So in retrospect I would have just bought the original version for a lot less $$ had I known they are really the same except for replaceable blade.

Bagel Guillotine Review

Bagel Guillotine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
While I don't consider this a kitchen essential, it is definitely one of the "nice to have" items. Our family goes through quite a few bagels a week, and cutting them with the guillotine and then freezing them makes life a lot easier. My kids are older and can use a knife, but I prefer they use the guillotine so as not to risk life and limb! My only complaint is I wish the product were available in black to match my kitchen decor.

West Bend 78822 Egg and Muffin Toaster Stainless Steel Review

West Bend 78822 Egg and Muffin Toaster Stainless Steel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really like this toaster. I've not had it long but I'm very impressed with the quality. It's not cheapy looking or gimmicky.
It operates very well as just a toaster - for bagels, muffins, and bread. The slots are wide and long - big bread slices fit with no problem. You can also heat up a sausage patty but I have not done this yet. I like the Cancel button which pops the toast up and cancels any egg cooking as well.
I was looking at a similar egg-sausage-toaster unit but there were several reviews that voiced concern about the quality of the non-stick pan for the egg. Several customers complained that it peeled almost immediately. I took a leap of faith with this one since there were no reviews for it at the time, and I have not been disappointed.
The egg dish says to use a non-stick spray even though it appears to be non-stick already. I have been using margarine and it works great. The quality of the non-stick dish looks good to me - I'm not expecting it to peel or degrade unless someone starts using a knife or fork on it!
My appliances are white but I could not find this in white. But the stainless steel is beautiful and I don't mind that it doesn't match. The design itself is cool looking.
I recommend this product! A poached egg and dry toast nearly every day - and it's easy!

My wife and I have been using the Brooklyn Bagel Slicer for about a year.
It always gives an easy and clean slice and makes it unnecessary for us to worry about cutting ourselves. It's easy to use, it's safe and it WORKS.

Cutting bagels with the Brooklyn Bagel Slicer is a breeze and safer than ever, enabling you to cut bagels or rolls in half without the worry of an exposed blade. The innovative, sleek and ergonomic design of the Brooklyn Bagel Slicer features a high-quality, professional-grade stainless steel serrated blade to ensure efficient slicing. It also helps unnecessary visits to the ER due to BRIs (Bagel Related Injuries).
To operate the Brooklyn Bagel Slicer, hold the Slicer and a bagel in either hand (it's also great choice for slicing English muffins and other bread rolls). Center the blade on the bagel on the blade and slice down with a sawing motion. As the bagel moves through the frame, keep your palm flat until the frame reaches your palm. Then, turn the bagel and knife over to finish slicing.
The Brooklyn Bagel Slicer is ideal for restaurant and food service pros, where speed and safety are priorities. Easy to store on your countertop, in a drawer, or hanging from a rack. Dishwasher safe on the top rack. Made in New York, USA.

KitchenAid KMTT200 Toaster, 2 Slice Review

KitchenAid KMTT200 Toaster, 2 Slice
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have the all steel version.
Pros: Very solid construction. Although is quite large, it is good looking and gives you the feeling of something that will last a long time. Very even toasting, works great, and the outside stays totally cool. After several cycles it does eventually get warm, but not hot.
I like it a lot, except for one thing:
Negative: The slots are just a little too short. It fits only the regular Mrs Baird's type of bread loaf.
If you try to toast any other type of shorter and wider bread, it will not fit in the slots as they are about 1/2 inch shorter than the slice of bread. If you look at it, it is obvious that there was enough room to extend the slots at least another inch in front. The design team at KitchenAid must be eating one type of bread only, otherwise they would have run into this problem (or perhaps they don't use this toaster).
I wanted to return it because of this, but I already threw away the box (I guess this proves I am a moron), so I am stuck with it.

Breville Die-Cast Smart Toaster Review

Breville Die-Cast Smart Toaster
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I spent about a year looking at toasters on Amazon. Needed one for my renovated house. I just could not bring myself to pay $128 for a toaster, but after reading features, was also unable to buy anything else. I convinced myself that it would look so great with my black soapstone counters and brushed stainless appliance junk that I should really consider it a renovation cost. Problem solved!
Toaster arrived last weekend, have taken several days off from job to make toast. First, let's just say how cool the thing looks and works. Yes, it is weighty, but I don't carry it around much. But, it's got these cool tech buttons that do all the heaviest work, like moving the toast up and down. Then there is that row of LEDs that flash to show how much toasting time remains. Also very cool! And it wasn't until I read revies here that I understood what "bagel" settings were. This one has 'em. "Lift and look" takes away some of the dark side of toasting, but is great for the anxiety-ridden. "A little bit more" is also fun, though there is no "little bit less". Anyway great fun and great looks. I can't wait to see how house-guests respond. I have to find a house-guest.
One of my biggest hesitations about the Breville, aside from humorous price, was the reviews suggesting it was unable to toast evenly. I immediately bought bread at Acme and found even toasting, slice after slice. The local sparrows were happy with the experiment and urged a repeat run. I guess reviewers here must have gotten bum units? I am surprised Breville does not want to take back the product they bought? I noted in the manual (RTFM) that they recommend a dedicated circuit (and what next, a dedicated toast house?), but they do say if it doesn't get sufficient amps it may perform poorly. I agree with reviewers that an examination of the heating ribbons was disappointing: they are a bit dim and patchy; for this price I was expecting an advance view into Hell.
Anyway, so far I still think !. Beautiful 2. functionality supreme! And all for only $129 or so!

Cuisinart CPT-120 Electronic Cool Touch 2-Slice Toasters Review

Cuisinart CPT-120 Electronic Cool Touch 2-Slice Toasters
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this Cuisinart toaster about a month ago. Previously, I owned a cheap Toastmaster two slice toaster that I had since college.
This toaster is compact but has everything you could need. It has slots wide enough for homemade bread and bagels, a reheat and defrost button and a cancel button. It is a very powerful toaster for sandwich bread. The first time I used it I was too excited to read the instructions first so I set the LED dial at 5 which was the level I used on my Toastmaster. That was a mistake because I burnt the toast crisp. This toaster I only have to set to a 2 to get my toast a nice brown shade. It really puts off the heat. I don't eat bagels so I can't say how it does on them. On Toaster Strudels it works well at a level 4 or 5 setting.
I love this toaster and would buy it again!
