** Bella Pro Series Extra Wide Slot Toaster Just $19.99 on BestBuy.com (Regularly $50)

This is an amazing toaster because it does simply what it needs to do. Before I go into any more detail, I want to give an important PSA: “Gluten-Free setting”! This is pretty much what sets this toaster apart from many others, but most don’t really know what it even does. Gluten-free bread exists, and they are (typically) stored in a freezer. Therefore, using the Gluten-Free option compensates for extra heat to thaw out the bread before toasting it “evenly”.

It’s way different than just selecting a higher temperature than usual, which will just burn the bread anyways. I use Gluten-Free mode for all my bread, Gluten-Free or regular, that I keep in the freezer which is awesome.

With that said, this toaster is ridiculously fast at toasting bread, and I grew up using toaster ovens so I always had to wait 4 minutes for toast. This thing churns out toast fast and the heating elements work evenly.

My favorite feature about this is the shell that does not become hot from use, which means I can grab it right after eating my toast and put it away under the counter.
