Will this toaster toast artisan breads without running them thru twice?

I didn't know that artisan breads need to be run twice through. For the economical price it toasts very well. Sometimes it appears to take a while. But if the bread is long, you will have to cut part of it off and shorten it for it to fit. There are toasters that accommodate longer bread. Cuisanart is the most preferred toaster out there if you can afford it.

This item is currently used in an office break room. To date, no one mentioned that they had difficulty toasting any type of bread. However, they primarily are toasting bagels, waffles. and slices of bread from loaves. It was inexpensive, so you might invest an a better brand in order to accomodate artisan breads.

I have never tried toasting Artisan Breads, but I can tell you I run waffles twice with a heat setting of five and they come out fabulous. I love this toaster. Toast to perfection and its easy to clean!

No...it doesn't toast run of the mill breads the way it should much less specialty breads

I don't buy artisan bread but I can say that on the highest setting it will darken up the regular bread pretty well on the first time. A second time would burn it completely and evenly. I hope that helps.

No. I had a Dualit previously which can be but something happened to it and the only way to have it repaired was to send it to England. I'm very happy with this toaster, it makes very good toast and accommodates overlarge artisan bread slices .

Yes, you can, it is one of the best toasters I ever owned. It has many settings and best of all it is all electronically controlled. It is very quiet and gives out a signal when your bread or bagel is toasted.

I've experienced a power failure while making a loaf of bread on a couple occasions, and the machine has always automatically restarted. I wasn't around close enough to tell whether it started over or whether it resumed the cycle from where it was. The result was a somewhat short but usable loaf of bread. I suppose if it didn't restart by itself you could always cancel the cycle, reprogram it, and start over - as long as it hadn't started to bake yet. If it's halfway through baking and won't resume, you're pretty much hosed.- Andy

I would say no. I had this toaster for one day. I bought a loaf of bread and toasted 3 or 4 times. I got a bad one that consistently toasted one side twice as much as the other. But I noticed the slots were not very long or deep. It was faster than usual, though. Since we make a fair amount of home made bread, we need larger slots. I got a breville after measuring slots in the store, and am satisfied with the new unit. They all seem to be made in China, however.

My toaster does not work well at all. I will not buy another one like this one. If you find one that works well, please let me know because I am replacing this one.

Yes. See John's answer for explanation of mechanism. I have used this toaster for about 4 months and enjoy the automated features and quality of toast.

I don't have a problem with my breadmaker at all. After I'm done making bread I unplug it let it cool and clean it. It works like it should everytime.

my toaster once toasted both sides but now it does not. It's a cheap toaster so don't expect much from this thing

when making toast on the toast setting it shuts off. for regular baking/broiling the unit does not automatically shut off. I usually set the timer and a second timing to make sure I don't leave it on by mistake.

yes, but this toaster will take twice as long to toast, not a good toaster in my opinion.

Mine does that, too. I just put it on a lower setting and flip the bread so it toasts more evenly. I perfected this technique with my last toaster which didn't toast one side at all. One of my goals in life is to find a toaster that toasts both sides equally. Until then, this one is fine.

I am sorry, but I cannot help with this. I bought this toaster over as a gift for someone not in my household.

No it doesn't. In the instruction pamphlet it states that if you are toasting a single slice you may notice vriations in bread color from side to side.

Sorry took so long to answer. I have never toasted large quantities of bread so I can't really answer that.

No, there is a single set of controls (lever/cancel button/adjustment knob) which controls both slots simultaneously. Great toaster though, recommend!

Yes. That is the only way I bake bread. Keep in the refeigerator between uses.
