Can you remove English muffins & bagels without burning your fingers or using a tong?Does it toast evenly on both sides

Yes, the slots are very wide and the way it's angled helps with removal. I've noticed it toasts a little darker toward the back but that was only when I toasted a toaster streudal that had to go through the toasting twice. I found that if I switched it after the first toast, it was fine. Hope this helps!

I always use tongs because it is so much easier than digging around trying to get the muffin or bagel out. Just a personal preference. And yes it does toast both sides nicely.

No the sides do not get hot. However there is an issue on the #2 setting with toasting evenly on both sides of the bread. It will toast like the Bagel setting (more on one side than the other). But it does ok on #3 setting or Bagel or defrost.

It's the 2 left hand slots on the toaster. Basically, they are wider to fit a bagel so it does not get stuck. You can use this in lieu of a toaster over. Works pretty well.

Of course it even has a setting for English muffin. I pretty much only use this for bagels and muffins. The slide secures the bread item then moves itself down. The entire toaster is automated. It's the most advanced toaster I have seen. Better than the kitchen aid pro.

I have not toastsed a bagel however I am not pleased with this toaster. I toast bread that is longer than a piece of white bread & that type does not fit into the slots. I have to cut the bread in half and toast it that way. I am not referring to the width of the bread. The slots are wide enough for thick bread or a bagel but too short north to south for a piece of bread that is longer that a typical slice of white bread.

We have not used the bagel function yet, so cannot comment on that part of the question. The bread toasts properly--evenly on both sides and works well on bakery-supplied bread or grocery store bread.

Bagel setting only toasts on one side. You put the cut side in towards the middle and that side gets toasted only.

We've been very happy with the toaster. And yes, it toasts evenly on both sides.

Hello Angel-Kat, English muffins are a bit on the edge...however I toast them all the time and pull them out with my fingers and have not been burned and/or don't have a problem with it. So far excellent service out of the toaster and we love the automatic function for lowering and raising when done. I hope this helps.

This toaster will toast one side of the bagel but to my knowledge this is not indicated on the toaster itself. I cannot check this info as I bought the toaster for my son in Atlanta and I am now on my way home to Wells, England, It,s going to be cold but so nice to be home. The toaster worked great whilst we stayed with our son and he,s delighted because it works and it was free!.

The oven does allow for toast, english muffins and bagels but it isn't a "toaster" per se. The elements are stronger and you heat a larger area than you need. I keep a small toaster for breads because it is faster and more efficient. The elements in the oven are really for other baked items like cookies, pizzas, pre-heated meat products like pop corn chicken or chicken fingers, fish/chicken patties, etc.. I say pre-heated because it can quickly cook the exterior before the inside gets cooked due to proximity to the elements.

I have toasted slices of baguettes on this toaster and it was easy to remove so I don't think you will have a problem with an English muffin.

Absolutely!! The one reminder is that it toasts more on the side toward the center in the toaster, but we toast mostly English muffins and that is perfect. I have regular toast and use the 3 setting also. ALSO THE BIGGEST SELLING POINT is that this toaster DOES NOT TOSS YOUR TOASTED ITEMS ON THE FLOOR!!! Love this toaster.

An advantage to the leverless toaster is that the toast is raised much higher and you don't burn your fingers getting your English muffins out of the toaster. I used to have to use wooden toast tongs.

I can give an actual measurement, but it does Bagels and English Muffins just fine. As you push the handle down to start the cycle, two grids in the toaster slot close to keep the item centered in the heated area.

It has a burner from top and bottom so it does toast both sides. I mainly use it for bagels though.

I agree that the slots are big enough for sliced bagels, not a whole bagel. The heating elements themselves do not move closer to the bread/bagels, there are so-called 'clamps' that once the bread is lowered into the toaster, it will close/lock in the bread, from both sides to hold the bread in the middle of the heating elements so that the bread does not lean to one side or the other. It then releases when toasting is complete and rises to the top. Personally I think this helps to toast evenly on both sides.
