TOASTER

摘要

A bread toaster comprising a housing (12) and at least one slot opening (14) for receiving an article to be toasted. The bread is progressively traversed by a linear heat source (48, 50) in a pair of passes. A first pass is at a rate which is sufficient to drive moisture from at least the surface of the bread, but which is insufficient to significantly darken the bread. A second pass is at a rate which is sufficient to darken and toast the surface to a desired degree.
