<p>A toaster (10) for toasting an article includes a base (12), a plate (14), a low thermal mass heater (16), and an air path. The plate is supported to the base so that a first surface of the plate may be brought into physical contact with the article. The low thermal mass heater is arranged to direct heat toward a second surface of the plate so as to heat the plate to a toasting temperature. The air path is arranged to convey air through openings in the plate to the article so that the air is heated by the low thermal mass heater and so that the heated air is directed onto the article when the first surface of the plate is in physical contact with the article.</p> |
