<p>A toaster is disclosed with a warming function that operates after the toasting cycle is complete, thereby keeping the toast warm in the toasting chamber until the user is ready to remove it. The warming function is accomplished via a warming cycle timing circuit which is interposed between the conventional toast cycle timing circuit and the electromagnet that holds the toast down within the toaster. Instead of the toast being released at the end of the toasting cycle as in a conventional toaster, the invention releases the toast when the desired warming time has expired. During the warming cycle, the toasting element operates at reduced power and produces less heat.</p> |
