The best toaster is






Coal fire and a long fork

Then a big blob of lurpak
(Other slightly salted butters are available)

be wary if buying sainsbury's on sale cookware.. i splurged £15 on a copper stove top whistling kettle yesterday, Defiantly a case of style over function, the handle gets Too hot to handle when boiled

We have one of these, warbies toasty bread does go in, just, but you have to pat it down a bit.

I like the long toasters that fit 2 slices side by side, works better on my narrow worktop than those big square things, I had a brilliant one, bought in Asda for £20, but it died, since then my OH has bought a well known brand one, about as usefull as a choclate fire guard, so my search goes on for a nice long one !!!!!

the last time I bought a toaster from Sainsbury's the electronics inside it detonated 30 seconds after it was first switched on..... luckily it was facing the wall and all that got damaged was a plastic chopping board and my ears were ringing for half an hour scared the crap outta me but I rang them up after disconnecting it and resetting the trip switches, I rang up Sainsbury's to complain and they had one of their dimwits unbox one and plug it in dunno what store it was but that was another loud bang and lots of people rather upset the lights had gone out they pulled it off the market and gave me back my money + a sorry about that £50 voucher for the store ..... that was about 5 years ago though it was bloody funny them killing the store's main cct breaker, just lucky they had their network on a separate supply ......

See go to Asda, s**t stores but better products, and if you want quality go to Lidl, you may laugh but their electrical gear is good (I back this up by saying I bought an electric tool I of course did not need, cost £12, two years later got £25 for it in an auction).

mart166 I know what you mean about the quality of kit from the likes of Lidl i bought something called "electro grill" from one 13 years ago variable hotplats that can be swapped over to give either flat hotplates or gridle style, not much good as a toastie maker but excellent for crépes or high fat meat cooking, honestly we used it all the time for the first 5 years but rarely get it out of the cupboard more than twice a year now..... of course i have also bought lots of other relectrical goods from lidl's and aldi in the past and most of them outlast similar priced gear fro mother vendors

on the other hand their stores are often difficult to get to now that i don't drive so i rarely get to go there and consequently have to get a friend to take me once every few months for my quarterly fix of frikadeln (I used to eat one every morning off the bratty wagon) or a few jars of bockworst.....

if only they did online delivery, although apperntly the local store is looking into making that happen, hopefully they will do a similar no frills service to the one Iceland already provides.

LOL, we had local walking distance Lidl for last 10 years at least, I used it all the time, cleaning stuff and electrical great, but I used to be only customer, straight to tills no problem, now local one and other 10 minutes drive away like hell, everyone doing weekly shop, trolleys like WW3 broken out !!!

I do not buy much food, but Saurkraut ok, not good, Neurenburg sausages great and also Bavarian Ham fry it a little makes it better. And if you into pickling they do a Balsamic vinegar, useless on salads but brilliant for picking onions, £1 for half litre, everyone compliments my onions lol.

PS I dont work for them, but in food business they are our rivals, hate them but still shop there lol.

In case it helps anyone else out.

We took a punt and went for one of these.

direct.asda.com/George-Home-4-Slice-Toaster-With-Long-Slots---Various-Colours/GH4SliceToasterLongSlotsMASTER,default,pd.html (Link playing up) Model GPT201B4

Used it a couple of times so far and all ok and it takes Warburtons slices.

Cheap as chips as well.

So fingers crossed all has worked out well in the end.
