You shouldn't have a problem. I don't know how small a piece of bread you're thinking about, but everything I've toasted rises up nicely.

English muffins are the smallest things I have toasted and have always had plenty of muffin to grab onto. The toaster closes to the width of your bread and lowers it into the heating space at the touch of a button then raises up when toasting is done. I've never had too little toast above the unit to get hold of my breakfast. Hope this is helpful.

We have never had trouble removing anything. We toast small english muffins daily and they rise nicely.

I am real happy with this item. When you slice bread it has to be a bit cold and firm, doesn't do a good job a few minutes out of the oven. But the only thing i found is that the sides are made of wood and you have to be real careful when you slice, I nicked one of the slats a few times using a serrated knife, I imagine you can use an electric knife but you need to be careful and keep an eye on what your doing

As long as you are not cooking the really small rice you should be fine. You may find some strays that get caught in the wire mesh, but the holes are really small.

Absolutely not. My last toaster was cool to touch. The sides of this toaster get hot.

I have never used "broil" but grill is fine. I crisp up day old deep fried shrimp. I have never tried to toast bread but some of the other reviewers have suggested you use your toaster. I have had this unit since about June 10th of 2011 and am very pleased with it. I would buy it again.

It could be - but the whole thing gets hot to the touch, so it would have to be placed where no one would brush against it. I have not tried to make a lot of toast at once, but it is not very fast.

no...but you can take a look at well your toast is doing and continue on. I use a fork with plastic end when my toast is finished for short toast.

Yes - there is an auto pop-up!! Set the toaster dial to whatever darkness level you want and it pops up when it's done. If it's set too high, it'll burn. Too low - you'll get a warm slice of bread. But if yours doesn't pop up - return it. there's something wrong!!

No. When we first tried it the side of toast to the inside of toaster was much lighter and the top crust was burned. Then we started laying the bread on its side and we are having more success. Still a tad lighter on one side, but not enough to hassle with returning the toaster. Have not tried Bagels or anything yet. Just regular bread.

Grill is more like broil. Technically you could toast but it would be one sided.

I think not, I do not like this like I thought, I bought for grilled cheese, and of course in the bag in toaster, the bread is dry. It is just as easy to get a fry pan and make the good buttered outside grilled cheese. Maybe for a quick toasted tuna salad sandwich...but I have not tried that. I washed by hand, but that is easy enough to do and would not be a big deal. Maybe for your use you might love it.

You could make toast in large quantities, But recommend sticking to a toaster for small 2 or less pieces of bread.

Absolutely, two little fences on each side close on each slice of bread, then lowers to toast, toast then comes up and the little fences open up. Works great.

No you don't need to remove the paddle (there's only one paddle). The paddle does get very hot so when you remove the loaf pan out WITH oven mitts, and once you dump the steaming loaf of bread out of the pan, you'll need to let the paddle cool before taking it out from the loaf. Obviously it will leave a small whole in the loaf but the freshly baked smell and taste of your loaves of bread make up for it. Enjoy!

Yup. It will toast one slice at a time with no problem. Same with bagels, muffins and the like.

I haven't baked bread in my stove, however have made too many pizzas to count- I see no problem with baking bread in this oven after you have mastered achieving and maintaining your temperature. I highly recommend the infrared thermometer so you can get an accurate reading of both the stone temperature and the air temp within the oven. Like with pizza, I wouldn't expect perfect results the first few attempts but now that I am familiar with it I love this oven.
